✨ Honoring Culture, Passion, and the Art of Dance ✨

The Santiago City Balamban Cultural Dance Troupe proudly celebrates the participation of our Artistic Director, Dr. Jonathan L. Roque, together with our President, Markzeiver A. Quiao, in the 44th National Folk Dance Workshop in Iloilo City. 💃🇵🇭

This remarkable event brings together passionate artists, cultural advocates, dance mentors, and performers from different places who share one goal — to continue preserving and strengthening the beauty of Philippine folk dance and cultural traditions. Through learning sessions, cultural sharing, and artistic collaboration, participants are given the opportunity to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of Filipino heritage through movement and creativity.

Guided by the theme “TUKIB, SAOT, LIKHA” featuring “PANUHID,” the workshop becomes a celebration of discovery, expression, and innovation in the field of dance while remaining deeply connected to the roots of Filipino culture. It highlights how tradition and creativity can work together in keeping our cultural identity alive for future generations. 🌿✨

Your participation reflects dedication, leadership, and genuine passion for the arts. The entire troupe is proud of your commitment in representing not only our organization but also the rich culture and artistry of our community. May this experience bring more inspiration, meaningful connections, and continued success in your journey of promoting culture through dance and performance.

The Santiago City Balamban Cultural Dance Troupe will continue to stand in support of cultural preservation, artistic excellence, and the promotion of Filipino traditions through music, storytelling, and dance. ❤️

Happy Birthday, Jhoycelle Borromeo! 🥰🎉
