EVRAA 2008 in Catarman moved to March 23-28

The 2008 Eastern Visayas Regional Athletics Association ( EVRAA) meet which is originally scheduled to be held on March 12 in Catarman, Northern Samar will be moved to March 23 or 24 up to the 28th due to the heavy rains that flooded areas in Northern Samar coupled with the aftermath of a strong 6.5 magnitude earthquake recently.

Although the national news ( and even international news) are reporting of concern on the power suppply having been cut off for 2 days because of the earthquake, power blackouts are not new in Northern Samar. Not a single day passes by without a blackout. In fact, every Saturday or Sunday, a scheduled blackout is pegged the entire day.
