ABS-CBN’s early morning show Umagang Kay Ganda was here at San Pablo City to feature our Coco Festival. Winnie Cordero hosted the segment and it was aired live at ABS-CBN Channel 2.
The segment was shot at the Plaza’s main stage. There were a bunch of people on the stage including the winners of the recently concluded “Lakan at Mutya ng San Pablo 2008″. San Pablo City Mayor, Vic Amante, was also up there on the stage while street dancers perform below.
Very few people came to see the broadcast and the setup wasn’t very impressive. I don’t want to compare but the Pangisdaan Festival, which was being covered by GMA at that same time, looked more impressive. This is the 13th year of the Coco Festival yet improvements are so minimal, if there were any. In fact, the very first Coco Fest is still the best of them all but I guess it’s still early to judge the entirety of this one.
