Promise and Preparation: Camiguin's Proactive Steps for Panaad 2024





SOURCE: PIA 10

Every year, Camiguin Island radiates with spiritual fervor as thousands of devotees and visitors converge for the solemn observance of Panaad. The Panaad 2024 is not only a testament to religious devotion but also a significant event that boosts the local economy and showcases the rich cultural fabric of the province. In preparation for the expected influx of pilgrims, the provincial government has taken diligent measures to ensure the event proceeds smoothly.



To orchestrate an event of this magnitude, Governor Xavier Jesus D. Romualdo, chairperson of the Panaad 2024 Executive Committee, has issued Executive Directive No. 20. This directive provides a structured pathway for entrepreneurs eyeing the opportunity to set up commercial stalls along the Camiguin Circumferential Road (CCR). Each application for installation is required to pass through the Governor's desk, underlying the province's commitment to order and organization.



Governor Romualdo emphasizes punctuality as key, mandating that all requests for stall installations must reach the Office of the Provincial Governor on or before the stipulated deadline, February 29th. This advanced planning approach aims to avert any last-minute hurdles that could hamper the serene atmosphere this occasion demands.



The collaboration extends to municipal and barangay governments, empowered to set up public assistance booths. This initiative is designed to facilitate convenience and safety along the CCR, providing immediate support to visitors and devotees without entangling bureaucratic red tapes.



Private entities are also encouraged to play their parts but are reminded to obtain prior approval for the installation of their structures. The mandate from town mayors and punong barangays is to guide these groups through the proper channels, ensuring a unified and orderly observance of Panaad.



To retain the sanctity and security of the area, unauthorized booths and stands are to be dismantled. Such stringent regulation ensures that the Panaad's path remains clear and the event dignified, safeguarding both the spiritual essence and public order.





Access to Camiguin for the Panaad is simplified through technology—a QR code obtained via the dedicated website is all that's required. This system not only alleviates congestion but also enhances the visitor experience by allowing for a seamless entry to the island.

The 2023 observance saw some 20,000 individuals partake in Panaad, a clear indication of the event's growing significance. This figure not only represents the unwavering faith of the devotees but also the potential for local businesses and entrepreneurs to thrive within this annual period.




With the foresight gained from previous years, the province is poised to better support the business community in capitalizing on this surge of visitors. Entrepreneurs are encouraged to align with the official guidelines, ensuring that their ventures contribute positively to the Panaad 2024 experience.




As Camiguin braces for Panaad 2024, the province exemplifies how foresight, collaboration and systematic organization can pave the way for a spiritually and economically fulfilling event. With these carefully laid plans, Camiguin is set on the hallmark of a harmonious and successful Panaad. 


Camiguin gears up for Panaad 2024 with strategic measures to ensure a seamless and devout experience for pilgrims and visitors. Discover how the island is preparing for the holy trek with effective governance, timely applications for entrepreneurs, and streamlined visitor access.
