PILI, Camarines Sur, Feb. 17 (PIA) --- Highlighting its local culture and arts, this municipality spearheaded a festive line up of cultural events as it joins the entire country in celebrating the 24th National Arts Month celebration this month.
One of the event’s highlights is the 5th Pintakasi kan Literaturang Bikolnon held yesterday with the theme “Taralets, Bagets, Magbasa Kita, Magsurat Kita.” At the helm of this are Bicol’s finest and award-winning writers and book authors Lorna Billanes and Carlos Arejola, Pili’s proud daughter and son respectively.
A contemporary Bikol writer, Arejola has earned for himself the 2006 Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature for his work entitled “Ang Mundo ay Iisa”. He is also the ExeCon Officer of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts. He is known as a prolific writer and continues to aggressively share his passion for writing and reading.
Bicol writer, poet and cultural advocate Victor Dennis Nierva was also invited to join the team of essayists.
Arejola stated that they coined this activity as a festival to celebrate the written word. This is corresponding to the line-up of Pintakasi event which includes the simultaneous holding of activities like book fair, poetry reading, and free creative workshops on poetry, fiction and drama.
Choose Pili Arts Month 2015 celebration being spearheaded by the local government of Pili through the headship of Mayor Alexis San Luis commenced February 6. The formal opening was marked by a motorcade christened as “Aldaw kan mga Parasurat kan Kabikolan”. Partakers paraded around the main thoroughfares of the town proper. In full support of this endeavor is the local cultural heritage advocacy group Pili: Banwaan Ko, Padangat ko, Kintab Artists Group, Department of Education (DepEd) and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).
On February 24, Kintab Pili Artists Group will spearhead the Interactive Mural Painting.
