community to savor in “Philippines & Korea ‘The United’”, a film,
arts, parade, and traditional food, games and fashion show lined up from Sept.

Hatched by the Korean Community Association
of Baguio, the two-week cultural fare will open with a film festival sponsored

according to association vice-presidents David Kang and Steve Han during
their call on acting city mayor Daniel Farinas last Thursday.
The premier night at seven o’clock on Sept.

comedy, with about 200 government officials and representatives of the Korean
embassy and association in attendance.
The films scheduled on the 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.
runs, respectively, are “Highway Star (musical comedy) and “Bunt” (drama) on
Sept. 27; “Late Blossom” (drama-comedy) and “Jeon Woo Chi” (action fantasy) on
Sept. 28; “Barefoot Dream” (sports-drama) and Arahan (action-fantasy) on Sept.
29, “Jeon Woo Chi” and “Spellbound” on Sept. 30.
Action shifts to the SM Atrium evening of
Oct. 4 with the Korean Cultural Performance Night featuring K-pop dance, Korean
cultural instruments and comedy acts set at six o’clock.
“The United” peaks on Oct. 6 with a parade at
8:00 a.m. from Upper Session Road to the Baguio Convention Center for the Main
Event.
“This grand finale will have 14 booths for
the traditional food fair, traditional games, traditional rice cake making,
K-pop, Korean traditional fashion show, face-painting, traditional instruments,
Korean traditional wrestling and a job fair,” Han said.
“All the Koreans, Filipinos, fellow residents
of Baguio and visitors to our city are invited to this free-admission grand
finale,” Kang added.
Han said the two-week-festival is part of the
local Korean community’s contribution to enhancing the international cultural
melting pot that is Baguio.

These moneyed-koreans had the nod of city hall politicos to let poor-baguio city be used and even up to convention center, a center in which a normal pilipino could not be for sure having an approval from the city hall if requested. This aside from their business inflation here in pilipinas is all but just a manipulation to grease the baguio people, to ease the resistance against their big business plan of our(baguio folks)ATHLETIC BOWL! SIMPLY ASK HOW THE KOREANS TREAT OUR OFW KABABAYAN IN THEIR COUNTRY? WE THE PINOYS ARE THIRD CLASS HUMAN BEING IN KOREA BEING SO ABUSED AND HERE IN OUR OWN NOSES, WE ALMOST WANT KISSING THEIR ASSES INSTEAD OF KICKING!!!
