The University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman Extension Programs in Pampanga and Olongapo have requested the local government of Angeles City to lend traditional lanterns for an upcoming cultural event. The request was made as part of a broader initiative to promote local heritage and cultural preservation.
The lanterns, which are a significant symbol of local tradition, are to be displayed during a public cultural showcase organized by the university. The event aims to highlight the region’s rich cultural heritage and encourage community participation. The local government has agreed to provide the lanterns, which will be temporarily relocated to the university campus for the duration of the event.
This collaboration between the university and the local government reflects a growing emphasis on cultural exchange and community engagement in Angeles City. The event is expected to draw a large audience and serve as a platform for local artists and historians to share their knowledge. The use of traditional lanterns underscores the city’s commitment to preserving its historical and cultural identity.
