(Erwin Encinares)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Mary Jane Licerio bought tickets worth three ducks for the Pacific Islands Club Saipan\u2019s 9th Annual PIC Duck Race for Cancer last Saturday, but went home $2,000 richer when one of her ducks won first place. <\/p>\n<p>Some 2,500 ducks raced on the Lazy River of PIC, but only four ducks made it to the finish line for a winning prize. <\/p>\n<p>Kanae Quinn\u2019s duck swam in second for $300, while third place was Joyce Santos\u2019 duck, grabbing $200. Carmen Ann Muna\u2019s duck came in fourth place, winning $50. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you purchase a duck, you\u2019re contributing to the proceeds that will be donated to the Commonwealth Cancer Association during the March Against Cancer this year,\u201d said PIC Sports, Entertainment and Activities director Brad Ruszala. \u201cThis is my first time coordinating the event and we had a great turnout. It was fun and I couldn\u2019t have done it without the great help of the PIC team. This is an event that I hope will strive and continue because it is really helping a good cause.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Licerio works for the F&amp;B department of PIC. \u201cI can\u2019t believe I won. I did not expect it. I was only trying to help a good cause. But I am blessed and grateful for my little duck,\u201d said Licerio. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mary Jane Licerio bought tickets worth three ducks for the Pacific Islands Club Saipan\u2019s 9th&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":245886,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[15441,704,15442,409],"class_list":["post-245881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news","tag-carmen-ann-muna","tag-duck-race","tag-joyce-santos","tag-pic"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=245881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/245886"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=245881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=245881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
