PANTABANGAN, Nueva Ecija – Having eco-tourism as its one-town-one-product (OTOP) priority, this municipality has formally launched its first-ever summer music video on Saturday.
Performed by four Novo Ecijano youths that earned titles in various television and stage competitions, the video aims to tell the world more of what this town has to offer, said Mayor Roberto Agdipa.
Agdipa, along with Vice Mayor Monaliza Agdipa and chiefs of offices, were guests at the Nueva Ecija Press Club Inc.’s media forum right after the launch of the MTV.
The mayor said a lot of local and foreign tourists have already visited the many attractions, including the mammoth Pantabangan Dam but more developments have recently been introduced by both public and private sectors.
“Nakita po namin na iba’t ibang nasyon ang naging guest namin dito po sa bayan ng Pantabangan. At, lahat po ng kanilang mga sinabi ay napakaganda,” Agdipa said.
Hence, the summer music video showcases towns tourism potentials.
“Naisip po namin na gumawa ng summer tourism video para ma-invite po natin yung lahat po ng mga guest na galing pa po sa iba’t ibang bansa at dito po sa ating bansa,” the local chief executive added.
Everything in their town – from the mountain to the waters – are inviting, he enthused: “Andito po ang magagandang pasyalan,” adding that on top of a privately-owned 5-star hotel, tourists can enjoy several resorts.
Titled World-Class Pantabangan, the music video was performed by four youths from the talent group Nueva Ecija Idols, namely Benedict Paulo Vinluan, Wessete Anne Borja, Marhia Sanchez, and Gab Punzalan.
The youths said they have always been proud of Pantabangan and are very happy to be part in promoting its tourism program. The launch was also made as part of the town’s 9th Pandawan festival.
