HISTORY OF TUGUEGARAO CITY

The origin of the city's name is unclear. Possibilities include "tuggui gari yao" (this was cleared by fire), "garao" (swift river current), or "taraw" (a species of palm). The first recorded settlement was a mission pueblo established May 9, 1604. The city developed gradually, then more rapidly after the provincial capital was transferred from Lallo, in 1839. It was occupied by American troops on 12 December 1899.

During World War II, the city was captured by the Japanese on 8 December 1941, and its airfield was of some significance; the city and airfield were bombed by the US regularly between January and May 1945. The Japanese had left by the time Filipino guerillas came in early June; the town was officially liberated on June 25, 1945.

Tuguegarao was once the only first class municipality in the province of Cagayan. It has served as the provincial capital of Cagayan since 1893 because of the notable socio-economic progress of the town. In 1975, having adequate facilities and amenities aside from being the region's geographic center and having capabilities of serving as the administrative seat of government for the region, Tuguegarao was declared the regional capital of Region II (Cagayan Valley).

Tuguegarao as a component city was affirmed in a plebiscite held on December 18, 1999, with Randolph Ting as the first city mayor.

Proper Office Attire(GUCCI COLLECTION)

Gucci Collection

It is very important to prepare proper office attire. Whether your attire is proper or not would influence the impression from your boss and colleagues and at the same time affects the relationship between you and them. Image that one of your colleagues wears very casual clothing in office, what would you think of him/her? Sometimes the communication in office is nonverbal, and others judge our behaviors according to our body languages such as manners and clothing. In the upcoming spring, have you already decided what to wear?

This year, Gucci offers many pretty and proper office attires for office ladies. The following collection is my favorite.

The surcoat is called belted caban. It is made from white micro techno faille with knit details. The detachable self belt in the waist position can show your slim waist and when you don’t want it, you can remove it. The four front patch pockets are large enough for your daily belongings. The materials of this dress are 90% polyester and 10% polyamide. I recommend you that don’t closure this coat and show the stylish vest.

The Gucci white and grey light cotton jersey is designed in sleeveless oversize tank with glumel print style which is made of 100% cotton. It has wide collarband.

The skinny riding pant with Gucci plaque looks gorgeous. It shows model’s long and slim legs and how I wish I would have the perfect legs! I wonder the intention of the special design in the knee position. It is made of 52% cotton, 4 3% polyamide and 5% elastane.

The shoes are Gucci white ‘mira’ high heel platform sandal with square metal rings and stud detail. This shoe is one of Gucci exclusive products. It is made of white leather and there is a back zip closure for adjustment. The sliver nickel hardware embodies this high-heeled shoe. The heel measures 4.1” with 0.25” platform.

White stands for purity and this suit of office attire will make you look more professional and elegant.
