T was the biggest Strike a Pose so far as the annual Gil Macaibay III summer fashion workshop 2017 edition culminated last Sunday at the spacious Grand Caprice Restaurant ballroom last Sunday in Cagayan de Oro City. More than a hundred enrolees of Strike a Pose 4, the two-day modelling crash course, filled the catwalk-laden floor of the restaurant in Gil Macaibay III designs as well as accessory shoes and bags from Spruce and eyewear from Specs. The models were
already pumped up in the workshop a week ago at 1A Express Hotel with inputs from supermodels Ann Casas and Jobo Roa as well as from Macaibay himself, the Prince of Haute Couture in this side of the country. Macaibay has consistently organized

THE youth in Cagayan de Oro will assist the government in the strict implementation of the Solid Waste Management Act at the barangay level.

This early, around 60
