PASINAYA 2010: CCP OPEN HOUSE FESTIVAL

PASINAYA_2010

It was supposed to be a “washington day” but the dirty laundries will have to wait as we trooped down to the Cultural Center of the Philippines for the Pasinaya Festival 2010. A one whole-day goodie of cultural dance, music, variety shows, visual arts and exhibits. Forty years on earth and I haven’t set foot on the halls of this imeldific establishment, more so have a taste of what it’s like sitting on those pricey seats of the odea. Ok it’s a given, I love those FREE ADMISSIONs.

But before the bulwagans opened for the public, a pre-show kicked off in the morning at the Little Theater Entrance featuring the Philippine Marine Drum and Bugle Corps, Obra Performing Artists from Q.C., Buganda and a colorful parade with the Ramon Obusan Folkloric Group. Another field day for shooters!
