Picture shows some of the teachers in the Comedy Skit with Mayor Noemi C. Cordero.
The Municipality of Balete for the first time, observed Christmas as “Pascua Sa Banwa”.
According to its Mayor, Hon. Noemi C. Cordero, Pascua Sa Banwa was unique because of four things:
1. One Christmas tree – which symbolized the oneness of Baleten-on people notwithstanding their diverse religious and political affiliation, educational background and community social status;
2. Multi sectoral endeavor where several civil society organizations, private individuals and government agencies joined hands in the 12 nights of Christmas;
3. A new paradigm, a third look into the meaning of Christmas where the carolers were the ones who offered gifts, brought cheers and joys to the less privileged and the marginalized; and
4. La Mesa Sa Plaza – food festival joined by restaurants, LGU motivation to small time entrepreneurs.
The 12 Nights of Christmas started on December 13 and ended on December 24. Participating agencies, organizations and associations were assigned an evening to plan activities, implement the program and manage the affairs of each evening. /MP
