Off I go once again to th Province of Capiz, specifically the Municipality of Dao when I attended their Patronal Town Fiesta, St. Tomas of Villanueva upon the invitation of their well-liked Vice Mayor James Magbanua.
Dao is a 4th class muncipality with 20 politically subdivided barangays.
Vice Mayor James Magbanua, aside from being President of the Vice Mayor League of the Philippines, Capiz Chapter is also a successful businessman. He is currently the President of Grains Retailers Confederation of the Philippines, (GRECON) Capiz; Regional Director of GRECON Region 6; Vice President and Secretary General of Confederation of Grains Retailers Association of he Philippines. He is also into swine raising business.

Our fiesta eve agenda started with a sumptuous buffet lunch at the beautiful veranda in the Mediterranean-inspired mansion of the Vice Mayor which for me is one of the most beautiful house I've been to lately. His house was built by famed architect Jomarie Yao.
After, came the much awaited Search for Miss Dao 2008 wherein the beautiful Jaqueline Kimpo bagged the crown. The amiable Mayor of Dao, Joselito Escutin with lovely wife Josephine Dolar- Escutin assisted with the coronation.
The next day came the grand fiesta; the Vice Mayor's house was filled with guests from all sectors of society. Seen were Capiz royalties, big time businessmen, political bigwigs and the most influentials. All are having a great time with the town's festivity.
Cheers to Vice Mayor James for a job well done.
