MARINDUQUE IN INTRAMUROS


Today's the opening of "INTRAMUROS: HISTORY TOWN PHILIPPINES" organized by the Department of Tourism (DOT), Calabarzon and Mimaropa regions with the participation of the southern Tagalog provinces incuding Marinduque. Tight budget for the province's culture and tourism programs did not prevent it from participating.

Gov. Carrion, provincial tourism czar Allan Velasco, Gerry Jamilla and Joven Lilles of the tourism office grace the opening program (at 4:00 pm Clamshell, Intramuros), and also show a video especially prepared for the occasion by the group, including this blogger. A brainstorming session for Marinduque's tourism promotion with DOT representatives, DTI officials and PR consultants is also set to be held within the event period. The tourism showcase runs from today until August 10.

On Saturday, August 8 at 6 p.m. a Marinduque cultural showcase featuring MSC's Sambayang Sining Lahi will present Marinduque songs, dances, and 'putong', together with a moriones group from the capitol. VIVA MARINDUQUE!
