Tanco on his letter for Garcia, who is the chairwoman of the Regional Development Committee, that he was so happy that the committee chose Capiz to be the next venue of the event that strengthened the cultural bond between the different provinces in the Visayas region.

An excerpt Gov. Tancos' letter

“For the purpose of not breaking the momentum and spirit brought by the success of the First One Visayas in Cebu, I would like to request you and the members of the RDCom to transfer the celebration in February 2010 (later rescheduled on March) instead of 2011."
The One Visayas project was conceptualized during a recent meeting in Iloilo City of heads of the RDCs of Eastern, Central and Western Visayas.

The “mother of all festivals” allows homegrown talents to perform, demonstrate or talk about the different native, indigenous visual arts, theater, film, architecture, literature and being Visayan. Garcia said the project aims to strengthen the cultural bond among the different islands in the region.
