The Welcome Dinner for senators sponsored by JCI Senator Noel Rosal, also the mayor of Legazpi City, last March 11, 2021 at Legazpi City Convention Center, started with an energetic dance number by Legazpi City Ibalong Dancers.

In his Opening Remarks delivered among an audience of 2021 Incoming National Board, National Chairmen, JCI Senators and JCI regular members, Sen.

JCI Sen. Garbin Welcomes the National Board through Sumptuous Dinner at the Misibis by JCI Mem. Annel San Pablo A Welcome Dinner for JCI Senate Philippines National Board was hosted by AKO Bicol Partylist Rep. who happens to be a JCI Senate Legazpi Board Member, JCI Sen Alfredo Pido Garbin, JGF at Misibis Bay Resort, Bacacay, Albay. Visitors from different regions were able to taste the best Bicol delicacies in Misibis Bay, the premier resort destination this side of the region. Minimum public health standards were strictly followed during the event, while the JCI Senate Legazpi continue to press forward in the new normal. •
JCI Sen. Gregorio Lipa, on the other hand, as the incoming president of JCI Senate Philippines warmly appreciated the attendance of the senators in said dinner and support of regular JCI chapters such as JCI Legazpi (headed by President Johnson Uy), JCI Daraga (headed by President Arianne Julise Rosauro), JCI Legazpi Dawani (headed by President Leah Buenaventura) and JJC Legazpi (headed by President Mariel Mabilin). Likewise, he emphasized the beauty and relevance of engaging in meaningful fellowships such as welcome dinners to encourage wholesome conversations and lasting connections with fellow JCI members. More than a mere dinner, the event was filled with fellowship and interactions, not only
among fellow senators, but also with regular JCI chapters members, who will be the future of JCI senate chapters in Bicol region. Thus, the welcome dinner opened doors of opportunities to widen the network of JCI Senate Legazpi and inspired the regular members to apply for senatorship once qualified. Most importantly, the Mayor’s Night served as JCI Senate Legazpi’s contribution to the local government in its efforts of slowly opening Legazpi City to tourists outside the Bicol region, without compromising health and safety, by reviving the tourism industry, eliminating unemployment and improving the overall economic status of the city. Indeed, a warm welcome to Legazpi City. •
