(contd)Spreading cultural and historical awareness and continuously exploring, searching for that something that could help bring about unity and positive change in a small, poor, politically divided island-province, promoting a sense of oneness, a clearer sense of identity and direction among Marinduquenos, are tasks cultural workers and artists take upon themselves to undertake. Existing political structures could make it rather difficult for cultural undertakings of the same magnitude as the first "Araw ng Marinduque" to prosper.
But the message of the Araw ng Marinduque celebration was clear. As the first Araw ng Marinduque celebration was concluded, a RESOLUTION was adopted by the SANGGUNIANG PANLALAWIGAN NG MARINDUQUE. It was to commend all the individuals behind the success of the two projects for such an achievement "despite the limited time and budget of the provincial government and the six municipalities... and even strengthened a collaborative effort with the national government offices/agencies and other organizations..."The resolution stated that the celebration "exuded the province's unique culture, customs and traditions which were hailed by most of those who witnessed the various activities and presentations".
Full text of said Resolution adopted on motion of board member ELEUTERIO "BONG" RAZA, Jr. follows. In a strong show of support and solidarity with all those involved in the project, the said Resolution was "unanimously seconded" by all the members of the provincial council, and therefore unprecedented:
