Peñafrancia webcasts sked
DAVE first explored the idea of beaming scenes of this year’s Peñafrancia fiesta using 3G-powered video calls in a comment to a previous post.
He will probably like this email I got yesterday from Reuel Oliver, head of the Naga EDP unit:
Greetings from An Maogmang Lugar!
The City Government of Naga, in cooperation with Bayan Communications, will be carrying live webcasts of major Peñafrancia activities from 07 to 16 September. Among these are the traslacion, fluvial procession, civic and military parades, and the Voyadores festival.
This forms part of our efforts to bring festivities in honor of our INA to Nagueños and Bicolanos living and working outside the region and the country. Our common devotion to the Virgin of Peñafrancia is one of the ties that continue to bind us together.
You may view the webcasts by visiting our website (www.naga.gov.ph; click on the Penafrancia icon on the upper right corner of the main page). We are also putting these in an archive so that you can view these whenever you want.We would appreciate it very much if you could disseminate this information to your friends, relatives and other Bicolanos.
Dios Mabalos!
Ansel, by the way, has a short entry on building up the city government’s Peñafrancia site, including a detailed program of activities lined up for the next 10 days.
The following major video events will be beamed via webcast. All times are standard Philippine time (GMT +08:00). The first on the list is a few hours away as I crossposted this:
