Joseph Hocog, event coordinator for the Tinian Mayor’s Office, said Sunday that Mayor Edwin P. Aldan and his staff wanted to “continue with the traditional practice in celebration of our hard working laborers” with a special focus this year on the island’s front-liners.
Hocog said that Fr. Anthony Aguason, the pastor for San Jose on Tinian, kicked off last Friday’s celebration with a Labor Day prayer, which was then followed by congratulatory remarks from the Tinian leadership, awards, and games, and Big Jay Selepeo providing live entertainment from Friday evening until the end of the event.
