Parkmall launched its “Mandaue: Yesterday and Today Exhibit” last August 25, 2014 (Monday) at the ground floor of their West Lobby.
The exhibit is to introduce the history and culture of Mandaue not just to Mandauehanons but also to the rest of the Cebuanos as well as to celebrate the 45th Mandaue City Charter Anniversary. Special guests graced the exhibit’s opening, and these include Hon. Demetrio Cortes (Mandaue City Councilor), Hon. Dadie Suico (Mandaue City Councilor), Mr. Jerry Roa (President of Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry), Ms Loeulla Cabanero (Mandaue City Tourism), Ms Lou Dominique Piczon (Ms Mandaue 2014), and Ms Edita Cortes (President of Mother Butlers Mission Guild).
There was a ribbon cutting, and then cocktail dishes were served, while some mellow music was being played live by a young talented pianist. Here are some of the things that can be seen on the exhibit:
