The City Government of Catbalogan joins the nation in celebrating the 2019 Nutrition Month this whole of July.

Presidential Decree 491 in 1974 declared that Nutrition Month shall be held every July to create greater awareness on the importance of nutrition among Filipinos. The law mandates the National Nutrition Council (NNC) to coordinate and lead the nationwide campaign.

The 2019 Nutrition Month theme is “Kumain nang wasto at maging aktibo… push natin ‘to!” (Eat healthy and do physical activity … let’s push this!)

The theme encourages everyone to advocate and realize the importance of healthy diets, increased physical activity and reduced sedentary behavior. Pushing the advocacy means that each and every one can contribute to better nutrition and physical activity for better health.

Tomorrow, June 16, 2019 is the 12th Charter Anniversary of the City of Catbalogan for it was in 2017 when Catbaloganon overwhelmingly ratified its status through a plebiscite. 

However, let us remember that for a moment, our cityhood was halted for nearly two (2) years due to the petition filed by the League of Cities of the Philippines (LCP) at the Supreme Court (SC) and was only restored towards the end of 2009 when SC reversed its decision with finality to our favor along with the other affected fifteen (15) cities.

Twelve (12) years as a city, three (3) of the youngest cities in Eastern Visayas along with Baybay in Leyte and Borongan in Eastern Samar as compared to older cities in the region, Catbalogan has long been the cabecera or capital of the whole island of Samar since 1616 during the Spanish occupation, and today still the leading and most competitive city in the island.

With the new administration to be installed in July 2019, a new leadership will take the helm of Catbalogan City and lead it towards continued progress and strengthened services anchored on “rig-on nga pag-ugop” or strong regard towards the whole constituency.

Happy Charter Anniversary Catbalogan!

The City Government of Catbalogan through the City Tourism, Culture, Arts and Information Office (CTCAIO) joins the global community in celebrating “Pride Month” this whole month of June 2019!

The month also honors the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, otherwise known as the Stonewall Uprising, which saw members of the LGBTQ community fight back against harassment from the police in Greenwich Village in June 1969.

Pride is all about love, acceptance, and respect.

This month, let us celebrate the boundless love our friends in the LGBTQ+ community has. Let us recognize and continue uphold their rights.

Love is love. 

Happy Pride Month! 🌈

We celebrate World Oceans Day to remind everyone of the major role the oceans have in everyday life. They are the lungs of our planet, providing most of the oxygen we breathe.

The purpose of the Day is to inform the public of the impact of human actions on the ocean, develop a worldwide movement of citizens for the ocean, and mobilize and unite the world’s population on a project for the sustainable management of the world’s oceans. They are a major source of food and medicines and a critical part of the biosphere.

In the end, it is a day to celebrate together the beauty, the wealth and the promise of the ocean.
