HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIR FERDIE
From the City Cooperative Office Family
By Melvin D. Banggollay

F-erdinand, a name akin to a great explorer
Who ventured in the unknown to discover
That this world is great and fun to wander
Just as the day you first behold God's wonder.

E-ntwined with a dream of your forefathers
You're destined to lead us and be our leader
As you desired to serve with passionate luster
As steward of the peoples trust and power.

R-ightly, you served with all love and integrity
Putting so many limelight on our very own city
As awards of excellence decorated our destiny
Proving the light of your leadership quality.

D-edicated you were in forwarding Tabuk City
As frontier of economic and tourism opportunity
With commitment to serve with all credibility
As trusted servant of the people with integrity.

I-ndeed, you're so worthy to be again our leader
For you have not failed to fulfill every meter
Of performance and leadership you muster
As you served with passion of a good leader.

N-ice and kind you were as Tabuk City's father
While you loved to offer chilled wine in a bottle
To anyone out there even to any stranger
Showing you're a man of good virtue's glitter.

A-ll of us wish for your long life with all the glory
Of a blessed life embroidered with prosperity
And may you always be a friend to everybody
Even to those who are often called the nobody.

N-obility you manifested while doing your duty
For you served well leading forward this city
In complete harmony with the legislative body
That enabled us to sail forward for posterity.

D-esirable you were as a trusted public servant
Worthy for emulation by any fellow servant
For you served with professional competence
As you desired always to work for excellence.
