The Thanksgiving Day also gave way to help identified beneficiaries of calamities and crisis affected individuals through the offerings given by all attendees during the event. “For the last 21 years, more or less 22 years, maskin unsa man ang muabot nga delubyo o problema sa atung probinsya nga tan-aw nato lisod kaayo sulbaron pero ato gihapong na solusyunan as a province mao na nga diha nato makita ang true meaning sa atuang ngalan sa probinsya isip Davao De Oro.” said Governor Jayvee Tyron L. Uy.
