Sinukwan Festival wows Mr. Palengke (11:21 a.m.)

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- Senator Mar Roxas recently visited Pampanga and has expressed his amazement over the province's premiere festival.

Dubbed as "Mr. Palengke", Roxas graced the culminating activities of the cultural programs of the Sinukwan Festival Saturday. The festival is a yearly event organized by the Save Pampanga Movement. It is aimed at preserving and propagating Kapampangan culture and tradition through week long festivities.

Roxas attended the programs at Robinsons Starmills here flanked by Governor Eddie Panlilio, City San Fernando Mayor Oscar Rodrigues, Father Resty Lumanlan of Save Pampanga Movement, along with a throng of officers of the various committees of the Festival.

"This is my first time to see it, and I saw the obvious enthusiasm of the participants and the beauty of all these is the cultural aspect. Pampango culture is included in all the presentations, its very beautiful and culturally full filling," Roxas told Sun. Star Pampanga in an exclusive interview.
