854 Our Sunrise During PBBM Part 2

854.
Our Sunrise During PBBM – Part 2

(1) Behold in 2023: Year of the Rabbit
From “BBM” projects the Filipinos benefit
“Build Better More” for Infrastructural Innovations
“Broad Band ng Masa” for Information & Communications

(2) “Batang Busog Malusog” for hungry children
“Trabaho Para sa Bayan” for jobless brethren
MIF for our country's national economy
RCEP for our country's trade & industry

(3) “Buhay Ingatan, Droga'y Ayawan”
Became the nation's anti-drug slogan
“Love the Philippines” despite leftist criticism
Was made the slogan for tourism

(4) During PBBM's 2nd Year in office
Manila became popular among many cities
It's heralded as “The World's Leading City Destination”
By the World Travel Awards recognition

(5) Bohol became a UNESCO Global Geopark in the country
Iloilo City became a “City of Gastronomy”
Kalinga did the “World's Largest Banga Dance”
And also the “World's Largest Gong Ensemble” performance

(6) Also during PBBM's 2nd Year as President
Philippine churches were made magnificent
Quiapo Church turned into a national shrine
Antipolo Cathedral an international shrine

(7) Robert Walcher won as “Mr. Teen” in Thailand
John Lloyd Cruz won as “Best Actor” in Switzerland
Carlos Yulo garnered golds in International Gymnastics
EJ Obiena harvested golds in International Athletics.
