Calungsod raffle draw moved to December 18

CEBU, Philippines -  Due to numerous unforeseen events that happened, the scheduled raffle draw for holders of Certificates of Donation in the Fund Drive for San Pedro Calungsod’s canonization will be moved from December 8 to Tuesday, December 18, 5 pm at the SM North Wing Atrium. There will be representatives from DSWD and an independent auditing firm to witness the event.

Special Events Chair Marlinda Angbetic Tan disclosed that the commitee members, as well as the Finance Committee members headed by Msgr. Ro-berto “Boy” Alesna, are pulling all stops to convince more generous donors to give P25,000 for a numbered Certificate of Donation that will entitle the owner to enter the raffle draw of three top brands: a BMW Executive Series, a BMW 1 Series and a Kia Sorrento. Only 800 certificates are available and only paid certificates will be eligible for the raffle.

Special Events Vice Chair Carmel Salvador is thankful to those who readily gave time and financial support to this event that aims to help the Cebu Archdiocese in meeting the enormous costs involved in the canonization of a saint. Finance Committee member and the Special Committee’s consultant Marissa N. Fernan also exhorts those who have not yet helped to make their donations now, and get a limited edition commemorative sculptural piece by world-renowned artist Kenneth Cobonpue together with the opportunity to join the raffle.—/FPL (FREEMAN)
