Unique decors anyone? You do not have to go far searching for sources of Filipiniana figurines (Sunduan, Komedya, Sayaw ng Pagbati and Binibining Parañaque dolls); Advent, scented and decorative candles; Christmas angels and Yuletide decorations. The city government’s Livelihood Resource Management Office (PLRMO) continues to organize, train and assist community groups in putting-up area-based income generating projects. Through the years, under City Mayor Jun Bernabe’s “Tatak Parañaque-Gawang Parañaque Entrepreneurship Program”, these beneficiaries have gained expertise in the production of handcrafted ornaments as well as the trust and goodwill of novelty stores and décor exporters.

SUNDUAN Is a fiesta tradition that honors the barangay’s patron saint by a parade being participated by young men and women dressed in traditional Baro’t Saya and Barong Tagalog. Sunduan is a Tagalog word that means to fetch and literally that is what the tradition is all about, fetching the beautiful young ladies and their escort from their houses by the brass band and parading them around the barangay until they end up in the barangay’s chapel courtyard. Each pair carries a charming parasol to shield them from the afternoon sun.. Barangay La Huerta is particularly noted for their spectacular Sunduan parade. “Tatak Parañaque – Gawang Parañaque Entrepreneurship Program” HON. FLORENCIO M. BERNABE, JR. Mayor – City of Parañaque
