Dagupeños join the whole Filipino-Chinese Community in welcoming the Lunar New Year 2025, the Year of the Wooden Snake, starting with a motorcade along the central business district on January 28.

Mayor Belen T. Fernandez led the celebration, along with Vice Mayor Bryan Kua, Councilor Michael Fernandez, Councilor Jigs Seen, Councilor Dennis Canto, Councilor Marcelino Fernandez, Councilor Bradley Benavides, Engr. Karlos Reyna, Atty. Joey Tamayo, Marvin Fabia, Joshua Bugayong, Danee Canto, Dr. Jalice “Jaja” Cayabyab, and Bonuan Gueset SK Chairman Tala Paras.

Traditional Lion and Dragon Dance kicked-off the celebrations during the colorful parade and a performance at the city plaza by the Dagupan Panda Lion Dragon WuShu Team.

Mayor Fernandez defined the Wooden Snake as transformation and evolution which brings growth, hope, good fortune, “Yun ay tamang tamang po na theme ng ating unliserbisyo.”

In the message of the local chief executive, she also encouraged everyone to be positive as she recalled that this year has more to offer for the city ensued by the fast approval of the 2025 Annual Budget, alongside the projects which are ongoing and for implementation.

“Kaya ang pasok po natin ng 2025 Chinese New Year, para sa akin, ay napakaswerte po,” she added.

The celebration also features Food Bazaar from January 28-30 where guests can get a taste of an equally lucky and ‘unli’ traditional tikoy (sticky rice cake), sweet pastries, and treats made for sharing for Dagupeños and the whole Filipino-Chinese Community.
