General Santos City – Albeit the unfavorable weather and security situations, the 20th Tuna Festival concluded on Wednesday, September 5 successfully and safely.
The celebration of this year’s Tuna Festival has been faced with many challenges. Regardless, the city government of Gensan and the Philippine Fishport Authority, the organizers of the festivity, pushed through a merry and event-filled Tuna Festival.
Mayor Ronnel C. Rivera, during the Closing ceremony of the Tuna Fest at Oval Stadium, told that he was happy that the celebration was able to continue without any incidents. He also thanks to the residents of Gensan for their support to the festivity. “I also thank the people of Gensan for their continuous support. Without you, this event won’t be successful,” the Mayor said.
Rivera also acknowledged the efforts of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) in beefing up the security of city throughout the duration of the festivity. The closing day of the Tuna Festival featured a street dancing competition among four schools in the city; General Santos City National High School, General Santos City School for the Arts and Trade, Fatima National High School and Dadiangas North High School. All these contingents performed routines and moves that are reminiscent of the Mardi Gras Festivity.
The Dadiangas North High School bagged the first place, seizing the Php 250,000. Grand prize. Aside from the street dancing competition, there were also other notable events that were held throughout the course of Tuna Festival.
