The month of May is celebrated as National Heritage Month
and the Provincial Tourism Office of Capiz wouldn’t let is pass without
celebrating the occasion. After all, Capiz is a place rich in heritage. I was
invited by Ang Panublion Museum director, Ms. Che del Rosario, to the Dungog Capisnon Youth Heritage Camp at Nagba in Cuartero last Saturday. By the way, my
mother hails from Cuartero but I never spent more than half a day in this town.
It was almost one-hour trip and the
weather was pretty fair. We barely noticed the time passing by because of our
chatter and cheer along the way. One of the Heritage Camp’s activity is the encounter with
Cultural Masters—individuals who know too well the heritage of their group or
locality. Culture bearers and performers did stuffs they’re great at and the participants
got the chance to hobnob with them and see the different intangible heritages
of the province has to offer.
