The festive atmosphere all around Baclayon town is attributed to its 413th Foundation day on Tuesday. Since assuming the mayoralty of Baclayon, Mayor Alvin Uy sees to it that the town's foundation is a festive affair. Mayor Uy became mayor in 2007 after serving two terms as vice mayor. The incumbent vice mayor is Marilyn Rubillar Uy, wife of former board member Felix Uy. As part of the festive air, the town's 17 barangays were afforded the obligation of sponsoring a nightly activity held during weekends. The last of the activity is set tomorrow which is dubbed as LGU Night. Tuesday's commemorative program will open with a holy mass at the Immaculate Conception church with Rev. Fr. Efren Bongay, Baclayon parish priest as main celebrant. The co-celebrant is Rev. Fr. Martin Lupiba. This will be followed with the blessing of new infrastructures.

To cut the ribbon are Mayor Uy assisted by Bea Zobel de Ayala, V-Mayor Uy and Joel Uichico. One of the projects to be inaugurated is the storm quarter located just beside the Baclayon Tourism Center . It will be turned over from BRAABO, Inc. represented by Uichico to the LGU represented by Mayor Uy. Another foundation activity is the mass wedding which is scheduled at 10:00 AM on Tuesday. A floral parade is set in the afternoon while the turnover and TOBOY awarding ceremonies will follow. The afternoon ceremonies will be ushered in with the welcome remarks of V-Mayor Uy.

The TOBOY awardees will be announced by Evelia Sarmiento, municipal local government officer. The awarding ceremonies will be followed by the speeches of the invited guests like Gov. Erico Aumentado, V-Gov. Julius Ceasar Herrera, Cong. Edgar Chatto and actor-director Cesar Montano. Another event as the town marks its foundation day is the turnover of a book entitled Sustainable Guide Book by the Manila Observatory as represented by Mrs. Antonia Loyzaga and Dr. Rosa Perez to the Baclayon LGU. Another turnover will follow this time the Baclayon Tourism website from BRAABO, Inc. represented by Uichico to the Baclayon LGU. The closing remarks will be made by Kagawad Carmen Gatal. This will be followed by a ballroom and disco at the Baluarte Reclamation Area.
