Kasalan sa San Pablo: Heralding
Filipino Culture and Tradition
| Just
2 hours south of Manila lies a wedding destination that can
truly give you an authentic Filipiniana wedding.
San Pablo, Laguna - popular for its seven lakes and coconut
festivals - is also synonymous to Patis Tesoro (known for
her Filipiniana fashion creations), Villa Escudero (famous
for its distinct Filipino ambiance), Kusina Salud (fast gaining
popularity for its honest-to-goodness Filipino cuisine), and
Viaje del Sol (art and culture tour of Laguna and Quezon).
Last Sept. 28-29 in Pamana Hall, the City has come full circle
as it presented a complete array of wedding venues, supplies
and services the local industry has to offer in Kasalang San
Pablo wedding fair and exhibit. |

|
Just a few minutes from San Pablo are nearby towns
of Lumban, where you can get reasonably priced
but excellently crafted piña barongs and
wedding gowns; and Paete, where you can get quality
woodworks and paper maches perfect as wedding
favors and giveaways.

Marching Band of local students |
Starting
the celebration in true Filipino fashion, a marching band
of local students welcomed fair guests to the 2-day wedding
event. Various booths like those of known local florist Elmer
Enciong and popular wedding venues JW Reception Hall and Maria
Paz Garden Resort were creatively designed using local materials.
Event visitors were also entertained by ethnic dance performances
of local student groups.
The second day is equally filled with
excitement as 15 local make up artists competed to bring out
the beauty of the Filipina bride.

Mr. Egay Victorio, the local event organizer,
shared, “Kasalang San Pablo does not only show the beauty
of our local wedding culture, it is also a testament to the Filipino
spirit of bayanihan (cooperation). This event would not have been
made possible without the generosity of the City Government, the
cooperation of the local wedding suppliers, and the support of the
local people.”
Kasalang San Pablo was capped with a special
wedding fashion show led by the City’s top-caliber fashion
designers - Alex Alcos, Eddie Escondo, Chico Estiva, Cris Gamo,
Armhand G. Remojo and Chiva Siason.
