As the title implies, Pasundayag means showcase/show/highlight and exhibit. These photos then are the sequence of events that unrolled during the Pasundayag Sa Northern Mindanao held last April 14 to 19, 2011 at the Music Hall, SM Mall Of Asia. Beginning April 12 when all exhibitors had to rush starting at 10 o'clock in the evening (as no one is allowed to work during mall hours!), happily beating deadlines to be on time for the grand opening of the affair on April 14 at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
Iligan City's highlight day was held April 16 starting at 4 o'clock in the afternoon until the mall's closing time, which was 10 o'clock in the evening. The program started with the parade of guests and city officials present then the acknowledgement of everyone present. There were songs sang by the Buhanginan Voices and the Singing Ambassadors of the region, dances by the MSU-IIT Kaamulan Cultural Dance Troupe, a special dance number by our city's first lady, Madam Gina M. Cruz, concert by guests artist headed by David DiMuzio and Jayson Fernandez (of Rivermaya), fireworks display by SM Mall Of Asia (a welcome interruption of the program!) and welcome speeches and tourists invitation by our Mayor and Vice Mayor.
All these activities held in the span of 6 hours...to the delight not just to the mall goers but to the exhibitors and hosts as well!

Maria Cristina Falls was requested by the management of SM Mall Of Asia to stay until Easter
to add beauty of their children's playground and probably add a place to hide Easter eggs.
