These words were written on the upper part of the tarpaulin which served as backdrop for the exhibit which displayed the Photo Contest entries this year.
We never thought there are still a lot more to discover in the town of Lobo. Shown in the tarpaulin were some of the treasures of Lobo – the terraced rice fields in Jaybanga, mangrove swamp in Lagadlarin, the inuway (native rice) which only grows in this town.
Last year, the team was able to reach two of Lobo’s pride destinations.
The Photo Contest this year was themed according to the launching of Agro-Ecotourism Industry of Lobo. The photo entries depict the components of this industry — biodiversity in Lobo, agriculture, and natural resources which also stand as tourist destinations in the municipality.
The photos unravel the rich natural resources of Lobo. This town may seem so humble and remote for some people but what you should see and experience here are the grandeur creations.
The contest was again headed by the College Dean of Batangas State University – Lobo Campus, Mr. Anacleto “Sir Clet” Caringal. Sir Clet served as ‘the discoverer’ of Lobo’s hidden treasures. His researches on Lobo’s biodiversity reached international audience and had been helpful to the local government of Lobo in pushing for the preservation of these natural resources.
So here are the results of the Agro-Ecotourism Industry of Lobo Photo Contest:
1st Place – “Ang Uhay at Kumpay ng Buhay” by Christian Mark G. Gadia
2nd Place – “Lawa sa Olo-Olo” by Iris T. Asturias
3rd Place – “Dugo’t Pawis sa Bawat Butil” by Joel Delgado
Consolation went to Rizchelle Ann B. Canuel for her entry “Takipsilim” and Alfredo D. Casilihan for his entry “Kastilyo”.
Meanwhile, Mars G. Panganiban won the Logo and Tagline Making Contest.
These contests do not only show how talented Loboans are. Such contests raise awareness, stir local pride, and bring forth the greatness of a town which can be considered as the ‘Last Frontier of South Luzon’.
