‘One Visayas’ to popularize local arts and culture in poorest towns of Capiz
Performing groups from selected local government units joining the ‘One Visayas, One Destination, One People’ event in Capiz will be visiting the province poorest towns to popularize local culture and arts.
The towns include Panit-an, Sapian, Pilar and Jamindan, according to Tourism regional director Edwin Trompeta.
He explained that performances in these municipalities are part of the ‘Pag-ambitanay’ or an outreach program of the ‘One Visayas’ where instead of the usual civic actions, they will be showcasing local culture and arts.
The ‘Pag-ambitanay’ will be participated in by performing groups from Cebu, Bohol, Negros Occidental and Iloilo.
Performances will be held in town plazas or markets where a lot of people converge.
Trompeta expressed optimism that the locales could easily relate with the activity because they also have their own local cultural activities.
The ‘One Visayas, One Destination, One People’ event officially opened today and will culminate on Sunday.
The celebration that gathered 16 provinces from all over Visayas anchored on the theme ‘Heroes and Nationalism.’ (PNA)
