DASMARI\u00d1AS CITY, Cavite\u2014 This city is slated to observe its annual butterfly-inspired \u201cParu-Paro\u201d festival on Nov. 26 with city folks and participants donning colorful butterfly costumes and revelry motifs.<\/p>\n

Mayor Elpidio F. Barzaga Jr. is expected to lead city officials, students and multi-sectoral groups in the annual celebration of the city\u2019s official festival, created by the virtue of City Council Resolution No. 069-s-2011 and Special Ordinance 02-s-2011 initiated by his predecessor, City Mayor Jennifer Austria Barzaga.<\/p>\n

In an interview, City Administrator Aisa Sango said the festival reflects the city\u2019s transformation from a former small village of Imus City and its separation as a full-fledged progressive city and Cavite\u2019s \u201cuniversity center\u201d and one of the province\u2019s vital hubs dotted with various services, commerce, trade and industries.<\/p>\n

Sango added that Sunday\u2019s main highlight is the 3 p.m. grand parade participated in by city officials, sectors and the 36 groups of elementary and secondary school division contingents.<\/p>\n

The city parade route covers Gov. Mangubat Road, General Aguinaldo Highway and traverses Da\u00f1os Street to P. Posadas and converge at the city hall.<\/p>\n

Prizes at stake for the participating parade contingents of 40 to 50 each group are: PHP75,000 cash for the champion; PHP50,000 — 2nd place; and PHP 25,000 — 3rd place while a consolation prize of PHP 10,000 each for non-winners. The \u201cBest in Costume\u201d will receive PHP 10,000 cash prize.<\/p>\n

Sango added that this year\u2019s celebration will not feature the usual parade of floats due to various road rehabilitation works which may stall heavy traffic.<\/p>\n

The city administrator also said\u00a0 that the city\u2019s Pagamutan is now in full operation and the city mayor wishes to prioritize fund allocation for various public health\/service programs, which is also a reason to celebrate.<\/p>\n

She also disclosed the city\u2019s plan to open its own public university soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
