(Greetings here.)
Rhian, unsa imong nabantayan sa atong mga pilgrims karon?

Rhian:

Nakabantay ko kuya nga almost everyone is wearing white, ilabi na sa mga nagsulob sa atong official shirt. Ngano diay ni?

Robert:

This is our way to show that all districts are in solidarity with each other.

Rhian:

Sakto ka Kuya! Unya white symbolizes purity man diba?

Robert:

Yes! But Rhian, despite wearing white shirts, all districts for sure do not forget where
they come from and I am pretty sure they are proud of their district colors.

Rhian:

So with that, let us all be proud and cheer as we welcome the 30 th LWYD animators
to showcase the district colors!

Production: Animators (BAI!)

Who is the father of the Local World Youth Day?

Rhian:

Thank you for that wonderful question. Abi kog lisod, ka-sayon ba. Our beloved, his
eminence Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal, Archbishop-emeritus of the Archdiocese of Cebu.

Robert:

Correct! Siya ang nagpasiugda sa localized version sa World Youth Day niadtong
1985. Busa, angay ug matarong lang nga hatagan nato siya og higayon nga ato
siyang pasalamatan.

Rhian:

Ladies and gentlemen, as we pay gratitude to him, let us all take a glimpse and look
back at the journey and life of His Eminence, Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal.

TRIBUTE TO CARDINAL

Kuya Robert, looking at the past, I realized it is such a heartwarming experience to

be a youth of the Archdiocese.

Robert:

Mao gyud! After 30 long years, the LWYD celebration has grown to become the most
awaited annual youth gathering sa Simbahang Katoliko sa Sugbo.

Rhian:

Sakto jud kaayo ka, Kuya! And mind you, what we had was opening pa! Daghan pa

Rhian:

Kuya, atong ginhangyo ang mga kabatan-onan kon unsay buot nilang ipangutana sa
Arsobispo base sa ilang mga personal nga experiences on kon dili bas a bahin sa
reyalidad sa ilang palibot. Tagaan nato sila og chance nga personal kining
mapangutana kang Archbishop.

Nindot gyud diay kaayo ni nga bahin sa LWYD kay we will have the privilege to air
out our questions to our beloved Archbishop. Mura ta og mga anak nga nangayo og
mga tubag gikan sa atong Amahan.

Robert:

Ug mao kato ang last nga pangutana nato para kaniya. Daghan kaayong salamat,
Archbishop! Daghan jud kayo kong nakat-onan gikan sa imong mga tubag. (You
may include personal insights here.)

Rhian:

Busa, let us all live out what Pope Francis challenged us, Filipino Youth. We need to
THINK, FEEL, and DO the advices that we have just heard. Sayang kayo ang mga
maayong pulong kon dili nato buhaton.

Robert:

Mao gyud! Mao nga inigbalik nato sa atong tagsa-tagsa ka parokya, atoa kining puyan ug ipaambit sa uban.

Rhian:

Tagaan na nato og higayon si Archbishop nga mubiya, pero mubalik pa baya siya
