The Kabacan Water District (KWD) joined the whole municipality in celebrating the 77th Founding Anniversary of Kabacan on August 18, 2024, by participating in some activities and finally during the grand parade.

The parade showcased the creative and meaningful floats from various Kabacan agencies/offices, groups, and organizations. KWD also displayed its float, promoting its program for providing rainwater harvesting drums or containers for emergency use.

The concept, design, resources, and decoration of the District’s float were a product of the joint efforts and brilliant ideas of the KWD family with the intent to remind the water-consuming public of the efficient use of the drums for collecting and storing rainwater or tap water, ready for use during scheduled or unscheduled water interruptions, fire emergencies, and other uses. KWD then received the Most Jolly Group award after the parade.

The celebration formally opened through an interfaith thanksgiving service on August 13, 2024. Different agencies, offices, groups, and organizations in the municipality, including KWD, participated in the event. The District also joined the Go Negosyo Go Night on August 15, 2024, designed for the business sectors in Kabacan.

The week-long festivities were full of various activities and contests celebrating the diversified culture and religions in Kabacan that delighted the townspeople. There were activities devoted solely to Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs), farmers, drivers, women, teachers, senior citizens, pastors, youths, Persons with Disability (PWDs), members of LGBTQIA+, volunteers, children, pets (cats & dogs), and many more.

The success of the Founding Anniversary celebration is due to the Kabakeños’ mutual support of each other despite the differences in religion and culture, which indicates that the municipality is moving towards a more successful Kabacan.

Patuloy lang sa pag-unlad! Unlad Kabacan!
