The Binalonan Ministers’ Fellowship (BMF) Incorporated on Nov. 13 held its 10th Pistang Kristiyano at the Binalonan Tennis Center with the theme “Celebration of Progress.”
 
Said celebration started with a parade in front of the Binalonan Town Hall and proceeded along the major streets of Binalonan.
 
Almost one thousand members of the different churches in Binalonan formed several clusters which presented praise and worship songs and dances.
 
United Methodist Church Senior Pastor Manuel Viloria, the event’s guest speaker, said that the progress of Binalonan is unprecedented and can be credited to the “Maka-Diyos” program of the local government under the leadership of Mayor Ramon “Mon-Mon” Guico.
 
He also added that the barometer of progress is how much people recognize God.
 
Meanwhile, Binalonan Vice Mayor Melicio Patague II told the participants to give the highest praise to God for the progress of Binalonan.
 
“Maging totoo tayong Kristiyano sa isip, sa salita at sa gawa,” Patague said
 
Meanwhile, Councilor Marie Anne Baybayan, chairman of the Committee on Religious Affairs, thanked Pastor Nady Olinares for sharing the words of God to the municipal employees.
 
Pastor Olinares attends the flag ceremony every Monday and joins the employees for his sharing.
 
Councilors Josephine Caburnay, Noel Apoloinario Bautista, Carl Joseph Patawaran, Jerry Aradanas, Cesar Tomeldan, Sr., Lorenzo Tambo and Rafael Legaspi, Jr. also joined the celebration.
