March 3, 2010
Greetings:
As promised, I’m sharing here with you the result of the trip Josie and I made to Iriga as well as Metro-Manila a couple of weeks ago to set the groundwork for Magbinaydan 2011.
The trip turned out to be very fruitful considering that we were able to secure offers/commitments from our local partners, the city government, and various suppliers and support groups concerning the following:
I. Community Projects
1. Green project: This project involves the participation of about 2,000 local students and the planting of up to 10,000 seedlings in several strategic areas for reforestation.
2. Medical, dental and visual mission: The mission is to be undertaken in select sites such as the Iriga Health Center and the Fatima orphanage.
3. Serve the foodless, roofless, shirtless and shoeless: This community service to be coordinated by the Iriga Parish Council and the East Coast Irigueños includes feeding the poor (about 1,000 beneficiaries), repair of 50 pre-determined houses damaged by recent calamities, and distribution of old clothes and footwear.
(NOTE: Donors may now start sending old clothes to the Iriga Parish Church c/o Msgr. Jonie Aguirre for storage; the actual distribution will take place during Magbinaydan 2011.)
4. ‘Books’ Project: This is an ongoing project of United Irigueños which is to be augmented in conjunction with Magbinaydan 2011.

1. Coordination with Iriga City tourism department re Magbinaydan participation in the Festival
2. Firsthand observation of the Tinagba celebration
3. Selection of volunteer group to design Magbinaydan 2011 float
