Mayor Cristina Gonzales Leads Sangyaw Festival's Parade Of Lights In Tacloban City This June 29, With Fluvial And Land Processions For The Senor Sto. Nino On June 30

WE ARE CURRENTLY in Tacloban City upon the invitation of Mayor Cristina 'Kring Kring' Gonzales to attend their annual Sangyaw Festival of Lights and fiesta in honor of the Senor Sto Nino. This is actually a month-long celebration that started on June 9 with a motorcade participated in by the fiesta sponsors, city government employees and the 2017 Miss Tacloban candidates.

After the well attended motorcade, the beautiful Sangyawan Park at the Balyuan Grounds was inaugurated and opened to the public. On June 12, Independence Day and City Charter Day anniversary, they held a very successful job and business fair at the Astrodome by the sea for those looking for jobs.

Last night, the search for Mr. Sangyaw Tacloban was held at the Robinsons Activity Area along with the Sangyaw Foundation Ball. There was also a Waray Talents Concert at the Tacloban City Convention Center on June 27 and 28 and the Fiesta Trade Fair at Plaza Rizal yesterday. The traditional fluvial and land processions and the pontifical Mass will be held on the actual day of the fiesta, June 30.

The highlight of the 128th Tacloban Fiesta is the lavish and colorful Sangyaw Parade of Lights to be held around the city proper today, June 29. The centerpiece will be the decorated floats with LED lights and street dancers partying to the tune of the Sangyaw theme song. We've been attending the Sangyaw festivities for four straight years now and it's really getting better and more spectacular every year. Wish you're all here with us to enjoy this joyous and colorful affair.

Justin Bieber to return to the PH for #PurposeTourMNL concert, and these celebs are just as excited as you!

Justin Bieber is coming back to the Philippines for his "Purpose Tour" concert, as officially announced this morning by the concert promoter and producer MMI Live and AEG Live.

Back in May 2011, Justin Bieber, who was only 17 then, staged his first ever Manila concert, held at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds. He was able to sing his hits then, like 'Eenie Meenie', 'I'll Be', 'Pray', 'Never Let You Go', 'Somebody To Love' and 'Baby'.

2 years later, he returned unannounced to visit the victims of Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) in Tacloban.

Then after 4 years, he will meet his Filipino Beliebers once again (not exactly in Manila though) as part of his "Purpose" concert tour and perform his new hits like 'Sorry' and 'Love Yourself'. Are you guys excited to see the 23-year-old Justin Bieber at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan?

I bet you are, and these celebrities are just as excited!

Filipino celebs Ronnie Alonte, Loisa Andalio, Gretchen Ho and Chynna Ortaleza have tweeted excitement for Justin Bieber's 2017 concert immediately after it was announced today.


Tickets are now available for Justin Bieber's #PurposeTourMNL concert with P1,575 as the lowest price and P17,859 as the highest. Please just refer to this poster for details.


The concert is happening over a month after the Ariana Grande concert (Aug. 21), 17 days after that of The Chainsmokers (Sep. 13) and more than a month before Ed Sheeran's (Nov. 7), all of which are taking place at MOA Arena. - Mykiru.ph
