The First Lantern Festival in San Pablo City


For many San Pableño, the First Lantern Festival held at the SM City San Pablo last Sunday evening  was an experience particularly among young adults who came in with small pieces of paper where they wrote their wishes to be attached to the lantern that they entered in the festival, an event brought to the city by K. Gachitorena and Rachel Alvero that attracted not only photo enthusiasts from far and near, but but multitude of families from the city and adjacent municipalities. To many Asians, Lantern Festival is regarded as the Chinese version of Saint Valentine’s Day , for this is a celebration of love and affection among lovers as dictated by the Chinese tradition and culture.

DOÑA LEONILA (MINI-FOREST) PARK

What is now known as Doña Leonila (Mini-Forest) Park overlooking the Sampaloc Lake is actually a portion of the site for the City Hall Complex purchased in 1937 by the Municipal Government of San Pablo headed by President Inocencio Barleta, which was partly developed after the termination of World War II under the administration of appointed City Mayor, Dr. Fernando A.

Hernandez, then club secretary of the local Rotary Club and Chairman of the City Beautification Committee, constructed some park structures at the park, with the fountain featuring the country lass with agriculture harvest as centerpiece.
