One of the biggest event Marikenians await for every year is the Year-End Concert and Frieworks Display which eventually became an attraction to people not only from Marikina but also from other nearby cities and towns.
This year, you’d be happy to know that the artists for the Marikina Year-End Concert are Vice Ganda (the show-stealer of Showtime), Concert Queen Pops Fernandez, Singer Sam Concepcion, and Rock Steady band. As the tradition goes, the concert and the fabulous Marikina Grand Fireworks Display will be held on December 30 at the Riverbanks Amphitheater.

I received queries and requests on different subjects from readers in the past weeks. Some of the questions and requests may be interesting to you (or probably, one you’ve been wanting to ask in a long time). You may want to help me answer some of the questions too.
I On Jobs Fair and Employment… I
–>Angela Perolino: Sana po magkaroon ng job fair ulit… Para po magkroon ng chance na mag apply ung tlagang willing mag work…
Marikenya: There will be another jobs fair this November. This is the last jobs fair for this year so mark your calendar. The date is November 17, 2009, this will be held as usual at the Marikina Sports Park (MSP). I heard there will be a livelihod and jobs fair sponsored by a city councilor and PESO this October but no details about it yet so stay tuned.
–>Antonio Camacho: Magandang araw po, meron po bang hiring dyan po sa Marikina as a driver?
Marikenya: If you’re referring to Marikina City Government hiring for drivers, you may go to the city personnel office to inquire and submit you resume for future hiring. Please understand that I am not part and do not have a hold of the hiring process of the city government.
