Roxas City (2 December) -- Capiz's premier festival Sinadya sa Halaran will bring the Capiznons' innate culture to the fore during its run this year which will start Dec. 4 and end on the 8th.
Starting with the traditional "Pamukaw-pukaw" in the wee hours of the morning, the five-day festival will feature a series of activities that will depict the Capiceños' rich cultural heritage, religiosity, and way of life in their bid to attract more tourists to the country's seafood capital.
Capiz lies along the nautical highway along the Philippine western seaboard and belongs to the Central Philippines Super Region that has been identified by President Arroyo as the country's tourism hub.
Gov. Victor Tanco said Sinadya sa Halaran, apart from its being the major festival of Capiz, is part of the tourism program being pushed by the provincial government and supported by the city government to make Capiz as an eco-cultural tourism hub of Central Philippines.
The festival is a joint celebration of the province and city that fused the Sinadya fiesta celebration of the city on Dec. 8 in honor of the Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception and Halaran cultural festivity of the province.
Capiz is one of the oldest Spanish settlements in the country. Among its newly discovered tourist attractions are waterfalls and caves. (PIA/SSH 2008 Publicity & Promotions)
