"We are once again opening our gates to the whole world. Like every year, we are showcasing our rich history and colorful traditions. But most of all, we would like everyone to experience, first-hand, the warm hospitality of TaguigeƱos,"
Mayor Lani Cayetano
Taguig City showcased the colorful, four-centuries-old tradition on the Feast of Sta. Ana with 10-day festivities, as a part of an annual observance of a tradition that is both culturally-rich and spiritually nourishing, highlighted by a kaleidoscopic street dancing competition affiliated by public and private high schools in Taguig in honor to the patroness St. Anne last July 24, 2013.
There were 21 participants who took part in the grand street dancing competition and Upper Bicutan National High School was a partaker. The contestants, who came at 6AM along with their impressive props and fancy costumes, were associated with the SSG UBNHS and CAT officers.
