RESOLUTION NO. 2008-48

A RESOLUTION OF COMMENDATION IN FAVOR OF MR. ELISEO J. OBLIGACION FOR HIS UNTIRING EFFORTS IN BRINGING TO GASAN A WHOLESOME THEATRICAL PRODUCTION KNOWN AS “VIVA MARINDUQUE” AND FOR MOULDING AND DEVELOPING GASAN YOUNGSTERS ALONG THIS ART

WHEREAS, behind the conceptualization of “VIVA MARINDUQUE”, is a man whose love of arts can not be discounted;

WHEREAS, those who were able to watch the presentation of this theatrical production can not help but admire the depth of its message, the beauty of its choreography, and the craftiness of its adaptation of light and sound effects and musical scoring;

WHEREAS, Viva Marinduque is truly reflective of the richness of Marinduque’s beliefs, customs and traditions, and can also be an effective vehicle in the preservation of these cultures;

WHEREAS, most of the talents used in this theatrical production are Gasenos, because fact of the matter is that they are youths from Bangbang National High School and Marinduque Midwest College, something which Gasan must be proud of;

WHEREAS, surely, their participation in this theatrical production have elevated them to a new dimension of skills, confidence and discipline – and all these we owe to Mr. Obligacion who patiently trained and coached them along this discipline, and without him there is no such an entertaining production known as “VIVA MARINDUQUE”, which is worthy of watching again and again and again;

WHEREFORE, for and in consideration of the above premises, on motion of Councilor Jose Maria A. Sore, seconded by Councilor Patrick T. del Mundo, be it

RESOLVED, as it is hereby resolved to recognize the services rendered by Mr. Eliseo J. Obligacion in showcasing the cultures of Marinduque, particularly the cultures of Gasan and his effort to preserve them.

RESOLVED FURTHER, to issue this commendation to Mr. Obligacion in recognition of the above-cited efforts and concern to Gasan youths.

RESOLVED FINALLY, that copies of this resolution be furnished Mr. Eliseo J. Obligacion and the Honorable Governor Jose Antonio ‘Bong Carrion’ for their information.
