ANYTHING that concerns our health is a priority and should be taken seriously, thus the decision to postpone the Paraw Regatta Festival 2020 scheduled this month because of the coronavirus scare should be viewed as a good move on the part of Iloilo City Mayor Geronimo “Jerry” Treñas and the Iloilo Festivals Foundation Inc (IFFI).

NBA legend Kobe Bryant and his daughter were among five people killed in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, California, on Sunday, a source confirmed to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Bryant was 41.

IT’S so sad that one of the victims in last Sunday’s senseless killings in Iloilo City was Delfin “Del” Celestial Britanico, youngest son of former Iloilo assemblyman and Banat Partylist Rep. Salvador “Buddy” Britanico and Dr. Lita Celestial-Britanico.

THERE’S nothing to worry actually. The Dinagyang Festival 2020 is in the safe hands.
