Mayor Jose Ivan Dayan C. Agda recently led the oath taking of the officers of the Kayak Camada Organization who will take charge of the re-opening and development of Kayak Camada in close partnership and coordination with the City Government of Borongan through the City Tourism Office.
Mayor Agda expressed high hopes for the group and site’s potential to be a top destination of the city when he said, “Mauupay ta in pero dapat maging transparent it pagmaneho hin nga iyo organization. Sigurado ak nga in dinhi, maasenso talaga in kay una, giupayi talaga in nga location ngan dinhi ha Camada, asya talaga in an magigin sentro hit mga western upland barangays.”
Mayor Agda happily announced that the city government will aid Kayak Camada by re-painting the existing infrastructure, prepare a parking area for would-be visitors, and purchase kayaks and turn them over to the people’s organization.
“We are not only selling the place but it aton kultura, it aton maupay nga mga pamatasan,” was how Ms. Marissa Josephine Acorin, OIC-City Tourism Office, reminded the Kayak Camada officers and other tourism stakeholders present as the city re-opens its sites and destinations.
