CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Feb. 11 (PNA) -– A local event group on Wednesday announced it would embark various projects here to prove that Northern Mindanao is peaceful.
Robert Dy, producer of Buffalo Entertainment and Events Proponent Incorporated (Beep,Inc), a private entertainment event company, said that the company has lined up major entertainment projects here this year to send a strong message to Manila that Mindanao, especially Cagayan De Oro City, is peaceful.
In mid-February this year, the entertainment company will bring to this seaport capital the thrill of one of the series of provincial Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) tournaments here, Dy said.
He said that the company has already sponsored various successful events in the past, notably the Angeline Quinto concert, “Timeless” that recently featured Nonoy Zuniga, Rey Valera and Willy Nepumoceno.
Dy also lamented the decision of the Philippine Airlines (PAL) management to cancel the scheduled “International Inter-Club Golf” tourney here in March.
He said that the PAL backtracks due to the incident in Maguindanao where 44 members of the PNP’s Special Action Force (SAF) were killed in the Mamapasano firefight.
“The PAL made the incident of the fallen 44 SAF in Maguindanao as the basis for cancelling the scheduled annual international inter-club golf competition here,” Dy said. (PNA)
