Mayor’s Cup 2024, one of the most anticipated sporting events in this northernmost part of Cebu, kicks off on Sunday, July 7 with a parade of athletes from each competing team comprising the inter-barangay, inter-commercial, and inter-agency categories.
Parade participants marched into the Lamberto R. Te Cultural Center where they were greeted with loud cheers from a jam-packed crowd that filled the venue to witness the highlight of the opening ceremony, which was the search for Miss Mayor’s Cup 2024.
