Viva Nuestra Senyora La Virgen Del Pilar + Tang's Sweet Orange Makes Waves At The Zamboanga Regatta

Early on a bleak Saturday morning, we went to witness the Regatta event in RT Lim Boulevard. The colorful vintas were a welcome contrast against the gray horizon. Everybody has been waiting for the Regatta, last year's having been cancelled because of the siege.

I was invited by Ms. Grace Bermejo to join the Tang Philippines Team as they sponsored various events in the city. Tang has also activated the newest flavor to the market, Tang Sweet Orange. Sweet Orange is specially formulated for Mindanao, having studied the preferences of Mindanaoans when it comes to refreshing beverages. #TimplangAto

I have to say that the activation was a successful one, spectators were able to sample the new flavor as they cheered on the vintas racing on that eventful morning.

Over a hundred vinta sailors showed up to compete. The Regatta has been an attraction for as long as the Zamboanguenos can remember. Lawrence Lorico, Assistant Brand Manager from Tang Philippines explained that the Regatta reflects the brand, that it is an inviting and colorful event.

 

Even the Coast Guard has its own colorful vinta. 

Gerald Anderson is the endorser of Tang Sweet Orange #TimplangAto

Tang also gave away prizes for the Regatta winners.

What's impressive is that Tang also brought in three bigger trucks containing the refreshing Sweet Orange drinks for on the spot refill. 
 

 

People from all walks of life went to witness the Regatta. It was a colorful morning, and as the day progressed, the sun came out to brighten the day. Just like Mi Ciudad, she has risen from a dark nightmare and is slowly facing the beauty and color of the present.

4 Great Christian Reads

While there's no shortage of literature that celebrates the Lord, some books and devotionals are better than others. Here's a quick list of four Christian books that everyone should have on their shelf.

1: "Mondays With My Old Pastor: Sometimes All We Need Is a Reminder from Someone Who Has Walked Before Us" by Jose Luis Navajo

Even the strongest can have a crisis of faith, and in this book, a burned-out preacher rediscovers his spirituality after a series of afternoons with an elderly mentor.


2: "Pocket Catholic Dictionary" by John A. Hardon

If you've ever found yourself confused by the terminology of the Catholic church, this is the book for you. From common prayers to hard-to-understand theological ideas, John will broaden your knowledge of the supreme.


3: "Disciplines for a Godly Family" by Kent and Barbara Hughes

It isn't easy for the modern family to stay connected to God. This guide, however, will help you and your loved ones navigate the 21st century with confidence and faith, offering tips, tricks and prayers for togetherness as well as spiritual growth.


4: "The Modern Preacher and the Ancient Text: Interpreting and Preaching Biblical Literature" by Sidney Greidanus

Despite its significance, the Bible isn't always easy to parse. This book seeks to bridge the gap between reading and understanding. While it's meant for preachers who want to share the word of God with their congregation, it can also be used as a personal guide, too.


These are just a few great books for celebrating your faith and renewing your commitment to the Holy Savior. Shop in Christian bookstores for more!
