Don Honorio Ventura State University (DHVSU) partnered with the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to revive a rich cultural heritage through a three-day Seminar Workshop on Capampangan Zarzuela held at the University Hostel on August 16-18.

As one of the parts of the Edutourism program, the activity aims to rejuvenate the once-famous tradition in the town of Bacolor, Pampanga where it will be transformed into a Neo-Classical form.

With the theme “Bringing Back Arts and Culture on Local Repository,” the workshop brought together the members of the DHVSU Guintung Siuala Singers and selected teachers from the Department of Education - District of Bacolor as participants.

Mr. Andy Alviz, Director and Founder of ArtiSta.Rita Foundation Inc., and Mr. Randy del Rosario, Musical Director, Playwright, and Co-founder of ArtiSta.Rita, shared their expertise and insights to the participants.

The said program was initiated by the DHVSU Office for International Partnerships and Programs headed by Dr. Mildred M. Crisostomo.
