The Xavier Center for Culture and the Arts (XCCA) of Xavier University and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) gear up for the celebration of the National Arts Month (NAM) this February with Panaghugpong – Xavier Arts Festival.
On its 7th year, Panaghugpong (Solidarity) continues to strengthen the arts programs, appreciation and promotion through involving various units of XU and the Cagayan de Oro community with the performing arts companies under the banner of XCCA.
Panaghugpong 7 promotes NAM’s theme, “Highlighting Local Cultural Genius to Promote Pride of Place.” The occasion serves as a harvest of the “artistic wealth and vibrancy of XU,” and shares this celebration with the community to instill a sense of pride for our local artists and their respective crafts.
Presidential Proclamation 683 declares February as the National Arts Month to hail and showcase the “Filipino ingenuity, creativity and imagination.”
Panaghugpong 7 will have its launching on January 30, Friday, 4PM at the Museo de Oro Grounds and then to the Fr Francisco R Demetrio SJ Art Gallery, to be frontlined by XCCA director and Panaghugpong author Hobart P Savior and production manager Flora Magriña.
The début dubbed as “Panaghugpong 7 and Saysay: Lumad Myth and Epics Exhibit” will provide a preview of the rundown of programs and productions scheduled for the entire month of February. (SJP)
