Mediamen tour Panay River


ROXAS CITY, Capiz, May 30 (PIA) - Local tri-media practitioners recently joined the Panay River Cruise sponsored by the Roxas City government to tour mediamen around the city’s newest eco-tourism attraction.

The late afternoon activity started at the back of the Roxas City public plaza towards Barangay Barra passing through Barangays 6, 7, Punta Tabuc, Cagay, and Dayao.

Roxas City Vice-Mayor Ronnie Dadivas oriented the participants on the developments, which were put in place, and on the conceptualization of the new tour package for adventure seekers.

Dadivas, who also chairs the Sangguniang Panglungsod’s Committee on Tourism, also answered queries of mediamen during the tour.

Among the features offered by the estimated half-hour boat ride were the breathtaking view of mangroves, riverbanks lined with Norfolk Pine trees and bougainvillas of various colors and hues.

The river’s beautification and greening, Dadivas said, is an initiative of ONE Capiz Foundation Inc. with the support of the city and provincial governments and the Capiz First Congressional District Office.

The media practitioners who joined the tour came from various broadcast and print outlets, Roxas City Press Bureau, Capiz Provincial Press Bureau, and the Philippine Information Agency, among others.

A dinner capped the activity.

The cruise is only a segment of the 98-kilometer Panay River that starts in Tapaz town passing through several municipalities, including Roxas City, before it empties itself into the Tinagong Dagat Bay in Pontevedra town. (Alex A. Lumaque/JSC-PIA6 Capiz, May 30)
