Mayor
Alfredo G. Marañon, Jr. said this contest was conceptualized five
years ago to set-up an avenue where our very own Sagaynon talents will
be discovered and developed.
Contestants
will be challenged through different repertoire of songs to be accompanied
live by the Sinigayan Kahoneros with Mr. Engelbert “Lecoi” Sy
as musical director.
About 50
participated in the auditions conducted in clustered barangays. The
number of participants have been trimmed down to 16 from which the magic
ten have been selected after a thorough screening.
One
contestant will be eliminated every week. Six will remain for the
grand finals on December 22.
Different
youth-oriented groups, such as Kasilaw and SCYTC/ PYAP will also be involved
in the production. Our theme for this year’s grand final
will be “Halad para sa Dunang Manggad”.
