New Events

Change is good. Just as it makes perfect sense not to break the record again for the longest grill (I guess, you only have to prove yourself once), it's also quite sensible to juggle the formula a bit to make it more interesting. But more than the novelty, it's the practicality that is more important- we are after all, in a global recession. And while sobering economic times is no excuse for NOT holding a festival, the perspective should be about planning smarter.

A 20 million peso extravaganza can look half its price with half-baked planning and mismanagement just as something less can look twice what it actually cost with smart and judicious management.

New events lined up for this year's festival include:

1. A road-race at the new De Venecia highway on 4x4 vehicles

2. A photo exhibit by master photographer Raymund Sto. Domingo

3. A Halo-Halo Festival

4. Lingkod Kapamilya Kabuhayan

5. GMA Kapuso Cares (Outreach Program)
