There will also be performances by Davao’s Joey Ayala featuring MSU’s Kapapagariya Ensemble on the 27th and one of Manila’s top bands, SugarFree on the 29th.
Also timed during the Munato Festival are the following – Sarangani Athletic Association Meet (November 26-29), the Groundbreaking of the Sarangani Provincial Employees Housing Project (November 27), and the inauguration of Sarangani Justice on Wheels (on the 28th and 29th).
