Boracay Fire Dancers to join 1st Inasal Festival Opening
BACOLOD CITY -- To add fun and excitement in the forthcoming 1st Inasal Festival 2009 in Bacolod City, the Boracay Fire Dancers and the Masskara Festival champions will showcase their talent in the grand opening parade on May 15, 2009.
There will be a huge “Inasal” float in the center of the parade representing Manokan Country.
The parade will start at the New Government Center and will culminate at the festival site in Manokan Country.
Mayor Evelio Leonardia who first conceptualized the said festival said that he hopes to put Bacolod City in the Guinness Book of Records. This will beat Dagupan City’s world record of the longest barbecue grill.
Leonardia said that the festival will surely catch the attention of local and international media.
“This (Inasal Festival) is very critical for us. If we make it with a bang, chances are, this will become a regular attraction in the city,” said Leonardia.
Councilor Alex Paglumotan, chairman of the committee on the 1st Inasal Festival, said that they will put-up a 5.8 kilometer continuous barbecue grill at the festival site towards SM City North parking lot.
The city government has started the clearing of the area at SM City Northwing to be utilized for the festival. (Tintin Dinglasan)
