Bacolod MassKara Joins "Best of the Regions" in Intramuros

     Around 50 dancers from Barangay 23, Villamonte and Alijis will represent the Bacolod MassKara Festival to the "Best of the Regions" in Intramuros, Metro Manila. "Best of the Regions", a project of the Department of Tourism, features the best music, dances, fiestas, culinary delights, street parties, arts and crafts of the 16 regions of the country one after the other throughout  the year.
     The grand opening ceremonies of "Kabugna-an Sang Western Visayas sa Intramuros" is slated on June 18, 2005 where Western Visayas government officials Senate President Franklin M. Drilon and Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago are expected to attend.
     Bacolod-Negros Day at Intramuros is one June 19, 2005 at 4pm. Teatro Amorseco will perform a Dance Drama on the Legend of the Sugarcane. Other presentations will include Mambukal Resort's Mudpack Festival, Bago City's Babaylan Dance Festival, La Carlota's Drumbeaters and Bacolod City's MassKara Festival.
     The "Best of the Regions" is the Department of Tourism's best way to advertise the regions to the great majority of foreign tourists. It is the best opportunity as well for the regions to be exposed to a wider national and international media base. It is likewise considered as an excellent vehicle for the regions to promote and sell their products, services and facilities to the larger concentration of buyers, consumers, business enterprises and multi-nationals in Metro Manila.
