Longest Grill Record in the Guinness Book of World Records

By Celeste Anna R. Formoso

The Palawan Economic and Development Council (PEDCO) assured that its next attempt to break the longest grill record in the Guinness Book of World Records will be well planned and coordinated.

From last June 23's cancelled attempt, the PEDCO is meeting in the following days, according to Board member Cipriano D.C. Barroma, to discuss several changes that would make the second try successful.

The PEDCO executive director said some of the changes that will be discussed are when the longest seafood grill would be held, a possible new venue, time of day for it to be held – all suggestions they received from concerned individuals and organizations.

So far, there is no tentative schedule yet for the said activity.

Barroma also disclosed that they have been in touch with the management of Guinness and were told that there is no more need for the PEDCO to apply again for the attempt.

The PEDCO is confident that the first failed attempt is not a hindrance for the people of the province to come and support the second try.

Barroma added that in fact, many groups that did not join on June 23 have now expressed intentions to sign up for the second try.

"Right now, there are more groups that have expressed interests to join unmindful of what happened last June 23. We are happy that they are supportive," he said.

He said that any support from the city and provincial governments will also be greatly appreciated by the PEDCO.

"We will appreciate any help from the city and province because of course, they are part of this. If we break record in Guinness, it will be the pride of all Palaweños," he stated. - Philippine News Agency
