Kabulakan Festival 2011 would be merrier! This was resolved among members of Dumaguete City Tourism Council during their meeting with Mayor Chiquiting Sagarbarria last Wednesday March 23, 2011 8:45 a.m. at the City Mayor’s Office.
Kabulakan Festival is celebrated in the city of Gentle People every month of May. The said celebration is one activity in the city that boosted our tourism industry. It attracts international and local tourists and boosts our economy as well.
This year’s celebration will focus on the theme: “Pag-amping sa Bahandi sa Kinaiyahan,” and it is on this note that Dumaguete City will bear another identity, the “city of Flowers,” on top of being the “city of the academe,” the “motorcycle capital of the Philippines,” and a lot more. We are calling the city of Dumaguete the “city of flowers” because we grow a variety of flowers and our climate is compatible with the locally-grown flowers.
It was also learned during the meeting that one of the activities of the on-going beautification of the boulevard would be the planting of flowers inside the concrete circle that preserved our aged trees. The additional Lighting Project at the Quezon Park and the planting of variety of flowers would highlight the celebration. According to Honorable Mayor Sagarbarria, the Beautification Project of the boulevard and the Quezon Park would soon be finished before the end of March or on the first week of April.
To add more colors in the celebration is the participation of big business figures in the city such as the Robinson’s Place which is now preparing their biggest float, followed by Lee Super Plaza and a lot more.
Together we can look forward to the Kabulakan celebration 2011 with a merry heart and excitement.
