Pasig's 'Pamanang Galing: Layag' showcases local talent

A night filled with music, culture, and the celebration of Pasigueño talents captivated the audience during the "Pamanang Galing ng Pasigueño: Layag" event held at the Tanghalang Rizal on Saturday, August 26, 2023.

Layag is estimated to be one of the largest cultural presentations in the City of Pasig, where nearly 20 individuals and groups from Pasig showcased their excellence and talent.

To effectively narrate the past, present, and possible future of the City of Pasig, the performances were divided into four parts: "Ang Bayan ng Pasig," "Pasig sa Pananampalataya, Kultura, at Tradisyon," "Ang Diwa ng Pagbangon," and "Kapayapaan at Selebrasyon." Each group had a narrative, expertly presented by Dr. Nestor Castro and Mr. Jarred Echevarria, to weave the story and thematic connections of their performances.
