        On the 3rd day of March 2017, at the Rizal Park, Davao City, PNJK-IS and MKD students presented Japanese Cultural number during the Pasundayag Night in time for the celebration of the 80th Araw ng Dabaw.

           Watching the presentation, according to one who witnessed the show made her feel like she was back to Japan. Students wore colorful yukata walking in front of the audience just like any model that you see sporting various attire with colorful designs. There were students in cosplay costume doing a dance number.

            The crowd likewise witnessed students dancing the Yosakoi- Solan that symbolizes the method or way of catching fish. The moves were synchronized that you can never believe that they practiced the steps on a limited time as it was difficult to choose who among the students could participate on the opening day of the Araw ng Dabaw.

Yet, they performed well and the steps were well executed.

         PNJK-IS Music Consultant Shuji Honda San with JPVA Takakazu Machida San and Masanori Sukegawa San from Kidapawan Orphanage “ Easter Village” rendered a musical number. Honda san played his guitar while Machida san was with his violin and the piano by Sukegawa San.

              The last was the best which is the Omikoshi and Taiko presentation. The manner by which the taiko is banged by the performer made one dumbfounded. One would wonder how much time was used in achieving such perfect move. So amazing that I agree with the statement that you seemed to have gone to Japan looking at the performers with colorful designs, music good to hear and performance excellently executed. We love to see once more Japanese cultural show if given the chance.

SECDEA here we come — the area is pristine that all were dazzled by the beauty of nature. God is so good in creating such remarkable scenery.

The accommodation offered is perfect, the food is so delicious and the ambiance is so serene, pollution free and we could hear the humming of birds from the distance. Flowers of various colors can be seen, captivating the hearts of everyone while guessing the kind of specie each represents.

Majority of the group explored the area, enjoyed the pool and the invitation of a clear and moving water from the sea is so tempting that the beach goers never hesitated in testing the cool water.

We gathered together once more in an exclusive area to listen the touching invocation led by Mrs. Adelaida S. Panaguiton.

Parlor games followed, participated in by those with strong legs and from the group that can still compete with the young generation.

The games generated group idea, communication, unity and planning. If there is communication from among the members of the team, certainly positive results are generated. Planning is one aspect that will help build a strong structure out of straws used as materials.

After the whole afternoon of joy and camaraderie, every one went home full of memories. The gap between the BOD officials and the staffs had completely reduced and apprehension over dealing with officers regarding office work was left in oblivion. The staffs have realized that officials indeed are down to earth, humane and can help alleviate whatever difficult task assigned to each.
