Tanghalang F.A. Vierneza, named after the Former Mayor Fely A. Vierneza. San Pedro, Laguna’s town plaza held a lot of events such as Sampaguita Festival, Hiyas ng San Pedro (Beauty Pageants), Medical Missions, and every Christmas, schools within the town perform on stage and yours truly did perform once for our schools presentation called: Liceo Night. It’s a nice experience, though my voice is shaking because it’s my first time to perform with a large number of people in the crowd but then it was amazing to stand on stage and be able to see the beauty of the town. It was amazing. J *sigh* memorieeeeeees! Well anyway, moving on, lots of artists in the country have performed in this very stage (including ME! Kidding aside :D) such as the towns very own: Paw Diaz (from ABS_CBN’s Star Circle Teen Quest in 2004), Jan Manual (from GMA’s Starstruck) and the international singing sensation: Charice Pempengco. I remember that when Charice performed she was only a little kid and we called her “Lucky Me Girl” and now, look at her, she’s indeed a big star already. We are very proud of her. Aside from the town’s pride, some local artists performed here, as far as I can remember, to name a few, they were: Rico J. Puno and Marc Logan (As a judge at Hiyas ng San Pedro). Aside from those artists, how can I forget my very close encounter with the former President of the Republic of the Philippines, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. I was a gradeschool student that time so it was a big deal for me, haha J I even shook her hand J

In addition to that, different TV Stations have visited the Plaza to cover the towns very famous: Sampaguita Festival. As I have said in the past articles, San Pedro, Laguna holds the record for The Longest Flower Medallion in the World Made in Sampaguita Flower. Amazing right? LOL! WTF? That’s why San Pedro, Laguna is called “The Sampaguita Capital of the Philippines.

You can see here also the statue of our National Hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. As we all know, that he came from the province of Laguna, and we are very proud of that. :)

So come now and pack your luggages, christmas is drawing near, and i'd be happy to accompany you to experience the beauty of San Pedro's toen plaza :)
