00:08which is already in the 11th edition.
00:11It is scheduled to be held on February 1 and 2 in different places or venues nationwide.
00:18And joining us now is Sir Dennis Marasigan, the Vice President and Artistic Director of the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
00:28Good morning Sir Dennis and welcome to Rise and Shine Filipino.
00:31Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. Thank you very much.
00:35Alright Sir, for our viewers who are not familiar with Pasinaya,
00:41can you explain what the Pasinaya Open House Festival is?
00:45The CCP Pasinaya Open House Festival is a multi-arts festival that is held every year
00:53in celebration of the National Arts Month.
00:57Because February is National Arts Month.
00:59And what is done here is that different artists do workshops and performances.
01:08And for the viewers, they can sample these performances and performances.
01:16There is a time limit of 20 minutes.
01:19So you can watch as much as you can.
01:22You can workshop as much as you can.
01:24So that if you like it, maybe you want to buy a ticket
01:27or watch them in their next production.
01:31Yes, when you see the videos now,
01:34you can feel the passion for the arts and culture, right?
01:39It has been 19 years, right?
01:42Actually, 20 years.
01:43We had a pandemic for 2 years.
01:45Oh, it's been 20 years.
01:47It started in 2005.
01:49Oh, it's been a long time.
01:51And then I understand that last year,
01:54different venues were started in Manganapin, Pasinaya.
01:57So this year, where are the places where there are celebrations
02:02or where Pasinaya is held?
02:04We really started in the CCP Complex.
02:06After that, we had different places that we went to.
02:11For example, we have Paseo Museo.
02:13So the museums in Manila and Pasay became part of Pasinaya.
02:17Last year, CCP Pasinaya was also established
02:20in Tagum, Davao del Norte, and Ilo-Ilo City.
02:23Now, this year, we are happy that there are many more.
02:27CCP Pasinaya will also be held
02:29in the Provincial Capital Grounds of Batangas City.
02:32We also have it in Sorsogon City
02:35and in Himamaylan, Negros Occidental.
02:38Aside from the circuits in Makati and Casa Metropolitan Theater.
02:42Wow!
02:44Sir, this year, there is a new addition to Pasinaya,
02:48which is the playgrounds.
02:50So what is this and why is it added to the first components of Pasinaya?
02:55Which are the playgrounds, venues, Paseo Museo-Palitan,
02:58Pagetipon, and the other families.
03:01Aside from the venues and venues,
03:03as I mentioned, we have Paseo Museo.
03:05Then we also have Changge, the families.
03:07There are also business-to-business exchanges,
03:09the Palitan,
03:10where those who want to play can talk to the artists they want to play.
03:16Now, there are grants given by the CCP for digital games.
03:23So now, we will include them in the CCP Pasinaya.
03:26They can go to the CCP Complex,
03:29there is a booth there,
03:31where they can play these games.
03:36This is fun!
03:37So even if it is small, you can experience it.
03:40Correct.
03:41Also, it is integrated with digital, right?
03:44Correct.
03:45Also, the grants given by the CCP for games,
03:48these games are based on the culture of the Philippines.
03:51For example, there is a game called Gala.
03:55You can go to different places in the Philippines through digital games.
04:00This is fun!
04:01It's like a Filipinized video game.
04:04So last year, you reached 45,000 people who went to Pasinaya.
04:10So this year, how many people or audience do you expect?
04:15Especially all over the Philippines.
04:17Based on the number of people every year,
04:21we expect more than 55,000 to 60,000 people
04:25will go to different places in Pasinaya.
04:30Well, Sir Dennis,
04:32what else should our countrymen expect in Pasinaya 2025?
04:37Can you invite our viewers now?
04:40We invite our countrymen to go to the CCP Pasinaya,
04:45not only to the CCP Complex,
04:47but also to other places where it will be held.
