CEBU, May 13 (PIA) -- The National Commission for Culture and
the Arts (NCCA) is now establishing closer link and coordination with
local government unit (LGUs) in its campaign to preserve and protect the
country’s cultural heritage.
In the recent special Association of Government Information
Officers (AGIO-7) Forum in line with the celebration of May as National
Heritage Month, NCCA Head on National Committee on Libraries and Information
Services Marilou Tadlip said the commission is exerting effort in having strong
coordination and linkage with LGUs in the preservation of the country’s
cultural and national heritage through development of barangay learning centers
as one of the factors.
“Development of the barangay reading centers is our focus,” Tadlip
said.
As part of the whole-month activities for the National Heritage
Month, NCCA will hold the Kulturang Cebu storytelling and Art to
Heart workshop in coordination with the Cebu City Public Library and the
Association of Barangay Council in Cebu City on May 15, 2015.
Kulturang Cebu storytelling will depict the story of
“Bugsay," and for a better appreciation of Cebuano culture, the Art
to Heart workshop will also feature the making of “puso” (hanging rice).
This whole afternoon event will gather children aged 7 to 12
from the selected 14 Cebu City barangays both from urban and mountain areas to
listen to stories and be part of the workshop.
There will also be a book donation to barangay reading centers for
children to know and understand the Filipino culture, heritage and stories
behind who and what we are today.
“This whole afternoon will be pleasurable activities, there are
many things that can be told,” Tadlip revealed, adding that NCCA hopes to
promote culture through the barangay learning centers.
The activity will also feature art exhibit with 70 artworks and
the many faces of Christ through the Kristo Manila and Kristo Nino to be
displayed at SM Cebu Art Center to open on May 16 at 6:00 p.m
which will run until May 30.
On May 23, various artists and performers will gather for the 2nd
Taoid Heritage Concert at the Terraces of Ayala Center Cebu. (rmn/ays/PIA-7)
