Ormoc-born migrants gathered in Melton, Melbourne, VIC last June 28, 2014 to celebrate Ormoc City fiesta in honour of Sts. Peter and Paul. Twelve families came in attendance with their parents, spouses, children and friends to mark the first ever Ormocanon fiesta in Melbourne.
Mr. Eddie Tan, now based in Melbourne, was the guest speaker of the night. Also in attendance was his wife Daisy Capahi-Tan and daughter Mary Anne with husband Cristopher. Battling near-freezing winds not to mention the long drive, they made it to the venue to make the event a huge success. The celebration further reinforced the Ormocanons’ resilience. It also revealed a sea of talent among the expatriates that trickled down to their kids.
From the Ormocanons: “We may be away from Ormoc City, but we are one with our fellow Ormocanons in honouring our beloved patron saints. Viva San Pedro ug San Pablo!”
