SAN FERNANDO CITY (PIA) — The Provincial Government of La Union (PGLU) will hold the Parade of Disney Characters Costume here on December 3.

The first-ever Disney costume night is part of the celebration of Pasko sa Kapitolyo with the theme “Liwanag ng Pasko: Para sa atin at para sa iyo”.

"Through the initiative of the PGLU headed by our provincial governor, ang programang ito ay makatutulong nang sobra sa ating mga kababayan na nakaranas ng hirap noong kasagsagan ng pandemya at lubos na naapektuhan ang kanilang mental health,” Rowan Joshua Dimaculangan, provincial nformation officer, said. 

Dimaculangan added, “Isa rin po ito sa mga instrumento ng PGLU para makapaghatid ng kaunting kasiyahan, na talagang maramdaman natin ang tunay na diwa ng pasko, na nagtutulungan tayo, sama-sama at nag eenjoy kasama ang ating mga kaibigan at mga pamilya.”

The Disney-themed costume contest will be joined by hundreds of children, teenagers, and adults.

“We are reminding our participants to strictly portray Disney Characters only, and kailangan po nating i-observe yung family-friendly costumes na akma sa lahat ng edad,” he reiterated.

“Kailangan po nating i-ensure ang safety po ng ating mga kababayan bago tayo mag-accept ng malaking number of participants, pero at the very least, we are looking at a hundred level, around 200 to 300 estimate,” he said on the maximum number of participants to be accommodated.

Interested participants should present their school ID or any valid government ID for registration.

“Paalala lang sa ating mga participants na magtungo sa LEEIPU Office, Agri-Tourism Center, dito sa San Fernando City to fill-up the registration form, at hintayin kung sila ay nakapasa sa screening,”  he added. 

Contestants with the best and cutest Disney costumes among three categories particularly: kids, teens, and adult category will bag prizes. (JCR/JPD/KCR, PIA La Union)
