The sudden downpour of rain did not stopped the Drum and Lyre contingents from doing their stints. Participants from various schools of General Santos City and neighboring towns looked all animated either with their costume and their make-up with their drums and other musical instruments at hand.
The Drum and Lyre competition organized by the head of Youth Affairs and Development Office, ELMER CEQUINA served as a loud siren that this year's Pasko sa Gensan festivities is on roll.
The swift Program turning every presentors into anime' characters, the parade of champagne and the lighting of the Christmas tree in the middle of the Oval Plaza were only a few signaling the OPENING. Plus the longest display of fireworks in any General Santos City was greatly enjoyed by the Generals that night.
"Animi sa Gensan, Anime ang Paskuhan" is this years' Pasko sa Gensan Theme which really brought out the creativity of the Generals who participated, participating and will be participating the events and activities lined up. Click this for the lists of activities.
