Belenismo sa Tarlac: The Art of Making Belen
Date 1st Saturday of December (awarding)
Venue Province of Tarlac
Description The campaign to create an annual tourist attraction for Tarlac and at the same time develop a Belen-related cottage industry while preserving the religious importance of remembering the birth of Jesus Christ has gained ground with the launch in December 2007 of "Belenismo sa Tarlac," a project initiated by a group led by Ms. Isabel Cojuangco-Suntay that seeks to transform the province into the "Belen Capital" of the Philippines. Belenismo in Spanish means "the art of making Belen, a representation of the Nativity scene in which the Holy Family (Joseph, Mary and the infant Jesus) is visited by the three wise men who came to the manger through the guidance of a star. During the Yuletide season, entries to the competition ranging from larger than life-size, personal, monumental, to dioramas are displayed in various places around the province while the smaller dioramas are housed at the Museo de Tarlac.
