During the event, Fernandez, after receiving nine plaques of recognition from the nine communities in the province of Samana, in an unscheduled diplay of emotion took the microphone to express his thanks for the recognition of the community.
Fernandez said that according to a Puerto Rican named Emeterio Betances, Las Terrenas is among the three most beautiful areas in the world.
