The Port Management of Cagayan de Oro/Misamis Oriental (PMO MOC) bagged the First Runner-Up position in the Parol Making Contest. The grand proclamation ceremony unfolded against the breathtaking backdrop of the Rio de Cagayan Boulevard on December 27, 2023.
The journey to victory began with a pre-judging session on December 10, followed by the final judging on December 19. The PMO MOC’s entry not only captivated the judges but also inspired the spectators with its innovative use of materials and profound symbolism.
Crafted from a harmonious blend of Walis tingting, recycled plastic bottles, Ginit, and Malong cloth, the parol embodied a powerful statement on sustainability and resourcefulness. These materials, often considered solid waste materials, were sourced from the Passenger Terminal, transforming what would be discarded into a masterpiece of art and environmental consciousness.
The star at the heart of the creation took on a dual role, serving as both a symbol of the holiday season and a representation of the guiding light that steers the Agency toward excellence in Public Service. Much like a boat navigating the vast seas, the star signifies the unwavering commitment of PPA PMO MOC to sail towards the shores of excellence in their pursuit of public service.
