THE Cultural Center of the Philippines continues its
pursuit of “truth, goodness and beauty” with new free performances for its
Sinag: Festival of Radiance, happening every weekend starting November 16 until

Kayumanggi Mananayaw ng Marikina (SFCLKM) Inc. delighted passersby, tourists
and just about anyone who visited the complex with folk dances from the different
regions in the Philippines.
One of the best performers of the 2018 CCP Band
Festival, the General Trias Youth Symphonic Band, under the musical direction
of PPO's Frenvee Clarito Andra, plays pop classics and medleys on November 23.
