The 19th Sambali Festival, as always, rain or shine, is a 9-day activity beginning June 23, 2007. Gov. E.R. Lara was the guest speaker of the Sambali2007 Beauty Pageant. It was another successful celebration. Governor Lara warmly expressed his thank to the people of Piat for their unweavering support to his governorship. The unbeatable Mayor, Honorable Leonel C. Guzman, led the LGU-officials in making the night another night to remember.

     Also present in the pageant rites were the newly elected-members of the Sangguniang Bayan 2007-2010, led by the workaholic Vice-Mayor elect Atty. Carmelo (Black) Villacete. The Sagguniang Bayan-Members present are: - Hon. Arthur Sadul; Hon. Tito Bingayan; Hon. Rovy Casibang; Hon. Lumen Asunto; Hon. David Sto. Tomas, Jr.; Hon. Marissa A. Gonzales and Hon. Eric Cabacungan (Unfortunately, Hon. Cathy A. Agustin wasn't able to make it due to high fever)

     And, of course, the former Manila's Finest, turned undefeated 3-term Mayor, Hon. Ruben Casibang was also there to grace the occassion without reservation nor hesitation, whatsoever.

     The highlight of the occassion was the crowning of Miss Piat Sambali 2007, who was crowned by the honorable Governor and his wife, who was also a judge in the selection process. The seven beautiful and gorgeous ladies represented their respective governement-offices took pride of the occassion.
