DITO Telecommunity is proudly supporting this year's Peñafrancia Festival, a celebration which shows the deep faith and devotion of the Bicolano people to Our Lady of Peñafrancia. This year’s theme, "Se siempre la Reina!" or "Be Always the Queen!" celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Lady’s coronation.

In cooperation with the City Government of Naga, DITO shows its support for local festivals by bringing communities together and celebrating Filipino culture. To make this year’s festival more exciting, DITO will offer fun experiences and activities, including experiential hubs and dynamic performances to showcase the vibrant local talent that makes the Bicol region remarkable.

A standout feature of DITO’s support is the deployment of cell sites on wheels to provide stronger and more reliable network service. This technological boost is to ensure that participants and revelers of the festival will enjoy high-speed connectivity and seamless communication during the duration of the festival.

“We’re happy to participate and support this year’s Peñafrancia Festival as part of our continuous commitment to weaving stronger communities. This year, we’re bringing exciting activities powered by our next-generation technology to further energize the spirit of the festival and showcase more local Filipino talents,” said Evelyn Jimenez, DITO Chief Revenue Officer for Consumer Business.

sa Peñafrancia Festival Activities and Performances

The Arts Festival will be happening from September 15 to 21, 2024 at the Balatas New Development Complex, immersing attendees in a week-long celebration of local arts and culture. At the center of the festival is DITO’s Experiential Hub, offering interactive experiences and exclusive freebies with the purchase of DITO products, such as Level-Up mobile prepaid packs, FLEXPlan postpaid plans, and our exciting new DITO Home 5G WiFi products.

Festival goers can fully enjoy the “TODO NA DITO” Roadshow on September 21, 2024, featuring various interactive activities like TODO Gaming, TODO Sayawan, and TODO Kantahan Finals, where local talents will compete for the top prize. The Peñafrancia Festival will be even more memorable with its grand finale—the “TODO NA DITO” Concert. Performances include Ched Valencia and Calle IV, with MAKI taking center stage, known for his hits like “Saan?” and “Dilaw.” This highly anticipated concert will cap off the celebration with an unforgettable experience.

“We are excited to bring our “TODO NA DITO” Experiential Hubs, Roadshows, and on-ground events to the Peñafrancia Festival. It’s an opportunity for us to not only showcase our value-packed products, but also to celebrate the culture and spirit of the Bicolanos” Jimenez added.

Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to celebrate one of the Philippines' largest religious festivals together with DITO Telecommunity. Peñafrancia Festival 2024 is an experience you wouldn’t want to miss!
