BEARS IN FLIGHT KITE FESTS NATIONWIDE
Cebu City, Feb. 13, 1998 - All is set for the biggest kite-flying competition in the country, the "Bears in Flight Kite Flying Festival" at the Cebu City Sports Complex this Sunday.
The kite contest has become a much-awaited summer event that promotes Filipino creativity, wholesome competition, family togetherness and tourism. It has consistently attracted thousands of spectators and participants.
This year's theme is "Mula Baguio Hanggang Davao, Ipagmalaki ang Saranggolang Pinoy" which highlights the kite-making and kite-flying skills of the Filipino.
Launched in 1991, the "Bears in Flight" used to be held only in Manila, until its success brought it to Cebu, Davao, Baguio, Cagayan de Oro, Iloilo and Bacolod. Last year, the kite festival was held in six major cities. Pampanga will host one this year, as the seventh venue for the annual event.
The kite flying festival will be held in Davao City (March 1), Manila (March 15), Cagayan de Oro City (March 22), Bacolod City (April 5), Baguio City (April 19) and Pampanga (May 3).
