Urdaneta City as a Center for the Arts? Why Not?

There is no denying.

Urdaneta City is an unstoppable juggernaut in the field of commerce, rapidly overtaking the more popular Northern Luzon cities when it comes to internal revenue. With the SM group of Malls having set camp in this city, our fates are sealed. Progress in the countryside will definitely become a reality.

Urdaneta City. Center for business and commerce.

But as a center for the arts?

Not many of us have thought about it. But as in any city in the country, Urdaneta definitely is home to many extremely talented Filipinos. It has even produced a few popular showbiz personalities. The ever popular singing competitions and battle of the bands never fail to grace any event or important city day.

Enter poetry. Probably one of the most under-rated form of the arts as described by many of our youth. It is even considered unmodern and un-cool.

But all is not lost. A group of artists have decided to hold a special poetry event in the midst of the rapid countryside urban development that is Urdaneta City. here are the details:
