Vamos a Belen : Sama-samang Paggunita at Pagdiriwang – Belen Exhibit
A virtual exhibition of various ‘Belén’ collections of Ramon A. Obusan along with the Belén setup from different communities in the Philippines on December 28, 2021 @ 7:00 PM
Belén is a tableau representation of the nativity scene or the birth of Jesus Christ. Only a few people know that Ramon A. Obusan has an enormous Belén made from different ingenious materials collected from his local trips and international travel.
As Christmas practice, communities and parishes do not neglect to display their pleasing Beléns in different sizes and motifs that we hope will not vanish in due course. The project collaboration between Camareros de Quezon, a community-based organization based in Quezon Province, and the Ramon Obusan Folkloric Foundation Inc aims to revive and show the public the value and significance of Belén in Philippine Christmas tradition.
