“This is the product of all the hard work put in by our barangay chairmen, kagawads and volunteers.This just goes to show our unity. Hindi kami magsasawang gawin ito taon-taon para sa mga mahal nating Dagupeno,”  Kua said.

Each nativity scene entry will be judged according to durability and stability, craftsmanship,interpretation of the nativity scene and innovation of traditional ‘belen’ format.
