The Office of the Vice President (OVP) took part in the vibrant and colorful celebration of the 88th Araw ng Dabaw, joining the annual Parada Dabawenyo to express solidarity with the people of Davao last March 16.
Representatives from the ten satellite offices of the OVP across the country participated in the event, highlighting the office’s commitment to serving communities nationwide.
Showcasing its social service initiatives, the OVP also paraded its signature programs, including the OVP Libreng Sakay buses and the Kalusugan Food Truck—an innovative mobile kitchen that provides hot meals to Filipinos affected by calamities and disasters.
Among the OVP representatives present was Dr. Chris Sorongon, Satellite Lead for the Panay and Negros Islands Satellite Office, who marked his third time attending Parada Dabawenyo. Expressing his joy at being part of the celebration once again, he stated: “We are very happy na nandito tayo ngayon sa Davao City to join them sa Parada Dabawenyo, and we are one of the Office of the Vice President sa pag celebrate sini sa Davao City as we continue to deliver social services, that will create a lasting impact to every Filipino people, particularly dito sa regions of Davao,” (We are very happy to be here in Davao City to join the Parada Dabawenyo.

Meanwhile, Alexis Tan, Satellite Lead for the OVP Pangasinan Satellite Office, attended the event for the first time. Reflecting on his experience, he shared: “Siguro in one word, “wow!” First time ko umattend ng Araw ng Davao, at ng parade most memorable I am part of the delegation of the Office of the Vice President, again wow talaga ang saya! Despite the heat and the earlyness of the event, hoping to attend the next Araw ng Dabaw!” (In one word— ‘Wow!’ This is my first time attending Araw ng Dabaw and the parade, and it has been a truly memorable experience.

OVP Director for Operations Norman Baloro extended his gratitude to the local government of Davao City for inviting the OVP to be part of the grand event.

Nakiisa ang Office of the Vice President (OVP) sa makulay at masayang pagdiriwang ng ika-88 Araw ng Dabaw sa pamamagitan ng pakikilahok sa taunang Parada Dabawenyo noong Marso 16.
Dumalo sa pagdiriwang ang mga kinatawan mula sa sampung satellite offices ng OVP sa buong bansa, na nagpapatunay sa pangako ng tanggapan na maglingkod sa mga komunidad saanman sa Pilipinas.
Bilang pagpapakita ng kanilang mga serbisyong panlipunan, itinampok ng OVP ang kanilang mga pangunahing programa tulad ng OVP Libreng Sakay buses at ang Kalusugan Food Truck—isang makabagong mobile kitchen na nagbibigay ng libreng mainit na pagkain sa mga Pilipinong apektado ng sakuna at kalamidad.
Isa sa mga dumalo si Dr. Chris Sorongon, Satellite Lead ng OVP Panay at Negros Islands Satellite Office, na pangatlong beses nang nakiisa sa Parada Dabawenyo. Ipinahayag niya ang kaniyang kasiyahan sa muling pakikibahagi sa selebrasyon: “We are very happy na nandito tayo ngayon sa Davao City to join them sa Parada Dabawenyo, and we are one of the Office of the Vice President sa pag celebrate sini sa Davao City as we continue to deliver social services, that will create a lasting impact to every Filipino people, particularly dito sa regions of Davao.”
Samantala, unang pagkakataon namang dumalo ni Alexis Tan, Satellite Lead ng OVP Pangasinan Satellite Office, sa nasabing parada. Sa kanyang pagbabahagi ng karanasan, sinabi niya: “Siguro in one word, “wow!” First time ko umattend ng Araw ng Davao, at ng parade most memorable I am part of the delegation of the Office of the Vice President, again wow talaga ang saya! Despite the heat and the earlyness of the event, hoping to attend the next Araw ng Dabaw!”
Nagpahatid din ng taos-pusong pasasalamat si OVP Director for Operations Norman Baloro sa lokal na pamahalaan ng Davao City para sa paanyaya nito sa OVP na maging bahagi ng pagdiriwang. Ipinahayag din niya ang pangako ng tanggapan sa pagbibigay ng epektibo at maaasahang mga programa para sa buong bansa: “Malaki ang ating pasasalamat sa City Gov, lalo na kay Mayor Sebastian Baste Duterte for inviting the Office of the Vice President to be part of the 88th Araw ng Dabaw, so commitment ng OVP na makapagbigay efficient at effective programs ang services hindi lang sa Southern Mindanao Satellite Office kundi all across the country.

Pinagtibay ng pakikilahok ng OVP sa ika-88 Araw ng Dabaw ang kanilang dedikasyon sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga lokal na komunidad at ang kanilang adbokasiya sa pagbibigay ng serbisyo, pagkakaisa, at pagpapaunlad ng bayan.
