Among those areas that are being cleaned are the Magsaysay Park, Pastrana Park, Veterans avenue and others.
“I will also seek the cooperation of the local media to help us pinpoint locations where we need to clean so that tourists coming to the festival will be pleased,” said Lachica.
Lachica said he hopes that revelers could expect a grand festival next year with the introduction of the newly-formed Kalibo Sto. Nino Ati-atihan Foundation Incorporated (KASAFI).
The KASAFI composed of different sectors has been tasked to supervise both the management, planning and the marketing of the revelry.
Already, KASAFI has promised that next year’s festival will be more colorful than before.
“The KASAFI has increased 20 percent of the subsidy of the participating tribes with the condition that they would present a colorful and lively presentation during the festival,” added Lachica.(PNA)/TE
