Fireworks lit the Calbayog sky last night as Halad sa Pasko 2009 officially opened. The annual Christmas Festival will feature nighthly presentations at the Nijaga Park AND the caroling and gift-giving to some our less fortunate brothers in some salected barangays. This annual event is being spearheaded by the Calbayog LGU through the City Arts and Culture Office.
Calbayognons will be treated to a "mid-size" Christmas tree this year. The organizers who used to setup the giant Christmas Tree at at the Cardinal Rosales Plaza (for the past so many years) forego the activity this year.
