Yuletide Fishing Competition attracts anglers from other regions
The Baguio City Yuletide Fishing Tournament has attracted competitors from outside Baguio like Benguet, Pangasinan and Manila.
Angler and pioneer Burnham Lake permit grantee Rafael Serrano who serves as tournament chair in collaboration with the City Environment and Parks Management Office led by Atty. Rhenan Diwas said registration for the fishing contest will be on until Dec. 15, 10am to 3pm at Malcolm Square.
Serrano continues to encourage anglers from here and abroad who share his passion for fishing to join the city’s fishing activities.
โMaraming nagpapasalamat sa akin sa pag introduce ng fishing sports dito sa Baguio pero ito ay hindi magiging posible kung wala ang suporta ni Mayor Benjamin Magalong,” he said.
He said that for this tournament, he was able to get sponsorships from his friends in the US and also in the city.
“May nag sponsor ng trophies para sa mga seniors na magpa-participate. Masaya ako sa tiwala nila sa atin,” he said.
Serrano said as early as now, they are now planning another fishing tournament for next year.
“We plan to conduct a Panagbenga fishing tournament in March 2023 and this time, it will be a regional fishing competition,” he said. – Aileen P. Refuerzo
