While it may\nseem like the usual park development, it actually not just another\ndevelopment project spearheaded by the local government. Here\u2019s\nwhy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s\nwith \u2018Pasilong sa Naga\u2019?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Pasilong\nsa Naga\u2019 is a P10.5 million park development project that aims to\naddress the need for more open spaces in the city. According to Mayor\nKristine Vanessa Chiong, this was initially conceptualized after the\ncity applied for financial support from the Department of Interior\nand Local Government for the creation of new parks and open spaces in\nthe locale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After\nthe approval of Chiong\u2019s request, she immediately communicated with\nthe world-renowned Cebuano industrial designer, Kenneth Cobonpue, and\nsought help from the city officials to make the project come to\nreality.  \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How\n\u2018Pasilong sa Naga\u2019 was Designed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Conbonpue\nshared how he translated \u2018Pasilong sa Naga\u2019 \u2013 or \u201cto find\nshade in Naga\u201d in local dialect \u2013 into a design that features a\nseries of interlocking rings that represent circles of life, like\nnature\u2019s way of taking and giving back to earth. This further\nemphasizes the unity in the city\u2019s political and cultural\nlandscape. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\naforementioned rings would come in various scales, to turn into\nwinding paths \u2013 elevated walkways, fountains, benches, and rest\nareas \u2013 looping around the whole vicinity of the park. Conbonpue\nalso highlighted that there would be no existing trees that need to\nbe sacrificed for the said development. In fact, they are planning to\nadd more trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This\nis the Cebuano designer\u2019s first park to design for a local\ngovernment. He mentioned that he had been tapped by many institutions\noutside the country but it was only the City of Naga that agreed to\ndesign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\ncity mayor hopes to inspire more towns and cities in the Philippines\nto also invest in design for public spaces \u2013 to engage and entice\nmore people to support the local tourism industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nDepartment of Tourism Secretary Bernadette\nRomulo-Puyat, who was also present during the city\u2019s 11<sup>th<\/sup>\nCharter Day, also shared that the project could be a model for\nsustainable tourism. <br>\n<br>\n<br>\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you haven\u2019t heard about it, Pasilong sa Naga is another attraction that is soon to open in the industrial city of Naga.
