“Maunlad, Progresibo Tanauan Yan ang Simbolo sa Ika-Sampung Anibersaryo, Sulong Tanaueño”.

Despite the bad weather; God blessed the Tanaueños with a fabulous day to celebrate the cityhood of their town.

Highlighting Tanauan’s long week celebration of its city foundation anniversary is the Parade and the Opening of the Sumang Magkayakap Festival held last March 10, 2011.

A parade took place at 6 AM. It started from Plaza Mabini and ended in the City Hall. A contest of suman eating was held after the parade. The whole area of the city hall grounds was totally crowded. Gracing the event is the presence of our Moslem sisters and brothers.

The opening ceremony of the Sumang Magkayakap Festival started with inspirational messages from Hon. Vice Mayor, Julius Ceasar G. Platon II, and the Hon. Mayor, Sonia Torres Aquino. After that, the festival was formally opened. A colourful Street dance number performed by selected students of Tanauan City National Higschool and a folk dance presentation from the Moslem community topped the wonderful occasion.

Another activity also took place entitled Fabulous @ 10 which featured the world class performance of Follies de Mwah of Mwah Club.

Tanauan was incorporated as a city under Republic Act No. 9005, signed on February 2, 2001 and ratified on March 10, 2001.( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanauan_City)
