Info Post






























Cadiz Pavilion has drawn more visitors, including local and international tourists, since the 16th
Panaad Sa Negros Festival 2009 started on April 18, with the online publication of daily updates at http://www.cadizinformation.blogspot.com/.

The Cadiz Pavilion, for two (2) days alone (Saturday and Sunday), has lured an estimated average of 400 – 500 buyers, picture–takers and day-trippers every day. They were mostly Koreans, teen-agers and families. A lot of individual sightseers were also spotted in the area.

Most of the visitors thronged to take pictures along with the pavilion’s mechanically moving replicas. These include the giant crab, killer whale, monkeys and Dinagsa (ati-atihan) warriors. But kids are just attracted to the lion’s head planted on the foreground.

Some of them took time to buy export quality dried fish and other marine products that Cadiz is famous for. Several others had Henna tattoo in themselves by the Cadiz Tukib artists and sipped the truly juicy Cadiz Sugarcane Juice by the Transform ARB Producers Multi-purpose Cooperative.

The Pavilion is of the “under the sea” concept. It is an artistic mock-up of the living sea creatures, reefs and seaweeds, with the animated giant sea turtle in the interior. An array of world-class quality shell products also added push to the vibrant pavilion’s inner section.

The City of Cadiz is sending a pool of entries in the various Panaad competitions. These are the Festival Costume, Destination Pavilion, Lin-ay Sang Negros, Negros Pop Idol, Pop Dance, Composo/ Pop Song Writing, Latin Dancesport and Chess Tournament.

On the other hand, Mayor Salvador G. Escalante Jr. personally greeted Congressman Juan Miguel Arroyo when the Presidential Son visited the Cadiz Pavilion during the opening of the 16th Panaad Sa Negros Festival 2009 last April 18. Senator Loren Legarda also stopped over and had his media interview at the pavilion./*
