“We’re just trying to demonstrate that Cebuanos must count their blessings,” mayor Tomas Osmeña said. “Then I intend to give an award to Akrho (Alpha Kappa Rho).”

Osmeña said that it has been a big turn around from where the group was before to where it is now. He lauded the group by having gone to the extent of participating in the Sinulog and showing they have discipline.

From being an extremist who were previously engaged in violence, Akrho have decided to move and integrate itself in the mainstream society, he added.
