Cordova festival tackles campaign against cybersex
The campaign against cybersex den operators was incorporated in tomorrow’s celebration of Cordova town’s 13th Dinagat Festival, which carried the theme “Cordovanhon ko, ngano diay?” (I’m a Cordovanhon, what about it?).”
Edgargo Casquejo, Dinagat festival coordinator and dean of Cordova college, told reporters that the festival theme has something to do with the series of raids on cybersex den raids in Cordova town in the past few months.
Through the festival, Casquejo said Cordova residents are defending their town from cybersex den operators because their continued operation will ruin the municipality’s reputation.
About 13 barangays were clustered into five sectors since their budget was cut due to the local government’s austerity measures.
No contingents were invited outside of Cordova to stretch the town’s projected festival budget of P500,000.
Casquejo said they eventually went over the budget as festival expenses went up to P602,000.
