Laguna celebrates Heritage Month

LTCATO-HACO

June 1, 2012

This year's celebration of Heritage Month was spearheaded by the Laguna Tourism, Culture, Arts and Trade Office-HACO Division (LTCATO-HACO).

It kicked off on May 2 when the traditional Santacruzan was held at St. Gregory the Great Parish of Majayjay; the Filipino Heritage Festival, Inc. headed by its president, Ms. Armita Rufino, graced the occasion.

She acknowledged the active participation of the Provincial Government of Laguna and awarded Governor Jeorge "E.R." Ejercito Estregan a framed-commemorative stamp collection featuring the heritage sites of the Philippines, including Laguna's very own St. Gregory the Great Parish of Majayjay, as a gesture of gratitude.

In another district, at the SM City Calamba, a short program featuring original Pilipino music (OPM) and an exhibit of heritage sites of Laguna and indigenous gowns made of water lily were showcased on May 21. The beautiful gowns were designed by Mr. Cezar Pasco and Mr. Renel Betralo of Pila and Mr. Romeo Oracion of Luisiana; those were the official entries to the Sagalahan Designer's Competition of the 2^nd La Laguna Festival held last April of this year.

Finally, the culminating event happened on May 27 with a Santacruzan at SM City Sta. Rosa where the sagalas wore indigenous gowns. (Article by Ronalyn Delgado/Ma. Cristina O. Coronado)
