…The first round was a 7-minute solo performance where each lantern would show off its colorful dance based on a medley of songs of their choice.

Lunch with Claude Tayag and Among Ed (12.30pm to 4.30pm)

We invited him to join us because it would be his first time to have lunch @ Bale Dutung and we would like to meet him personally. … In the recent 436th anniversary of Pampanga last December 11, not a single one among the Provincial board members, the 21 city/ municipal mayors, and the basketball coach/ vice governor, attended the official celebration.
