Prof. Crista Sianson Huyong and Prof Randy Lero posed with CAO’s Dance Company with their Trophy and Plaque.

The CPU Cultural Affairs Office (CAO) promised to bring out their best in December as they confirm their cultural online show during the Festival of Lights and Music season.

The cultural show is a separate full-length online presentation on December 17 to be shown worldwide live via CPU TV Channel Facebook Page. The cultural show talents under the CAO will include the CPU Dance Company, Hand Bell Ringers, Excel Chorale, CPU Symphonic Band, and the Elementary and High School Dance Troupes. On the following day, December 18, the CPU Dance Company will perform live at the Festive Walk in Mandurriao, Iloilo City.

The CPU Dance Company also performed in the Japan Cultural Exchange Program of Osaka, Japan. The group represented the Philippines in the Kawachinagano International Friendship Association (KIFA) Japan Cultural Presentation on November 18, 2021. It was participated by different countries like Great Britain, India, Japan, Nepal, Finland, and the Philippines.

The excellence of its presentation under the artistic direction of Professor Randy Lero, and with the support of Cultural Affairs Director, Crista Sianson Huyong, will once again prove their highly regarded previous performances, such as the Saludo 1 presentation last December 2019.

Some of the members of these talented groups under the Cultural Affairs Office are provided with scholarship grants.

More cultural events are coming up early next year, according to Prof. Huyong.
