With #TeamRobes , San Jose Del Monte is definitely rising up!

San Jose Del Monte City's Mayor Arthur Robes and Congresswoman Florida Robes during the opening of "Tanglawan Gallery" in SM SJDM last September 10, 2019

Most well-loved and respected couple of San Jose Del Monte City in Bulacan, Mayor Arthur Robes and Congresswoman Florida Robes had concluded the whole "Tanglawan Festival 2019" with the opening of "Tanglawan Gallery" in SM San Jose Del Monte (SM Tungko). 


I was one of the guests who had witnessed successful opening of the said gallery showcasing SJDM's youth's skills and talent in artworks. I couldn't really help but to feel in awe for these young generation and it was very evident in the paintings that they've created to express their passion and love for their beloved San Jose Del Monte. 

The "Tanglawan Gallery" was initiated by the beauteous Congresswoman Rida Robes, in line with the celebration of the 19th Cityhood Anniversary of San Jose Del Monte. 







Please watch the speech of SJDM Rida Robes and Mayor Art Robes during the opening of "Tanglawan Gallery" and let this video tour you around the gallery 


                                          



One if the highlights of the event is the "Tanglawan Gallery's" ribbon-cutting to give way for the viewing public.


Here are some of the artworks displayed at the said gallery: 












I may not be a real painter but I can appreciate works of art like these..  Kudos to all the San Joseños 

According to Congresswoman Rida Robes, the theme for this whole art gallery is "lantern" ehich was very significant to them. 


Great job to Mayor Art and Congresswoman Rida Robes and the whole team!!! 





The unbeatable tandem!!! #TeamRobes

We were given the chance to interview the unbeatable tandem during the gallery opening and we were so surprised by "Ate Cong" aka Congresswoman Rida's passion, dedication and love for all the San Joseños. While she was answering a certain question thrown at her, she couldn't help but to feel emotional and teary-eyed...

Why is she being emotional? I guess her love for all the San Joseños was overflowing and that she was also overwhelmed by the success of every project she does and that she's given her whole heart, effort and time to plan all these...

Everything was her idea and she did it for "Free" and for the love of SJDM. And of course this wouldn't all be possible without the help and support of her other half, Mayor Art Robes, who's primarily the happiest since he loves artworks. 



You can watch the whole interview here... 

                                          

Another good news revealed to us that day was, they were very excited in preparing to join and beat United Kingdom come December this year, for the Guinness World Records title of "Largest Living Nativity." And for us Filipinos, not just for the San Joseños, we feel equally proud, happy and hopeful that they will succeed in this attempt. Here's to more good news and and great opportunities for everyone! 

If you could recall, the City of San Jose Del Monte holds the Guinness World Records title of "Largest Lantern Parade" last September 19, 2017 with 14, 173 participants over Singapore. Now that was such a great achievement under the #TeamRobes administration, right?! 



Definitely, the San Joseños are in good hands and will continue to rise up with #TeamRobes around.
