 The
Hinugyaw Cultural Dance Troupe of the City of Koronadal conquered
Los Angeles and neighboring cities during the Tambayayong Festival
held in City of Carson. The Hinugyaw presentation was dubbed as the
star of the festival. After their performance, several key people
showed their interest to invite and host the group which was headed
by Mayor Fernando Q. Miguel together with Hon. Marie Antonina I.
Hurtado, Mercelita Lucido, Elric Batilaran, Mila Superlativo joined
with Mrs. Consuelo Miguel.
The Mayor of Carson, Hon. Jim Dear, expressed his interest to visit
the City of Koronadal in the near future to also show his
appreciation and possibly sealing off the Sisterhood arrangement.
Truly, the Hinugyaw Cultural Dance Troupe is a class of its own. Fil-Americans
who witnessed the event were teary eyed while watching the show.
Most of them approached the group and conveyed how thankful they are
to witness such magnificient cultural presentation which they were
not aware even existed.
Mag-Hinugyaw kita!!! Let's be proud of the group's achievement.
Mabuhay KORONADAL!!!
