The elimination round is set at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the Butterfly Garden in Pasonanca.
The activity is one of the longest running programs of the City Government aimed to preserve the chabacano language and to strengthen the campaign to propagate the Asia’s Latin City tag. It is done annually during the Zamboanga Hermosa Festival, which is in honor of the celebration of the feast day of the Lady of the Pillar.
Based on the song festival mechanics, entries to the competition should be original and not an adaptation.
Song entries in the previous chabacano song festivals may not be submitted. Theme of the song entries could be about love, the city, the Nuestra Senora La Virgen del Pilar. All entries will be considered property of the organizer.
City Hall Executive Assistant Rebecca Fonollera, who is organizing the event, said all interested parties should be present at the Butterfly Garden at 1 p.m. Wednesday for the elimination of the entries. (Sheila E. Covarrubias)
