“I’m delighted and extremely excited to be bringing such an extraordinary roster of international talents and artists to Koronadal for this year’s festival”, Mayor Peter B. Miguel said in a media interview. 

In 2015, Pyesta Kolon Datal made a big desirable twist in the history of Koronadal, captured the international spotlight and filled the streets of the city and the rest of its neighboring cities and municipalities.

The City of Koronadal is one with the CIOFF in promoting the preservation of cultural identity and serving the cause peace and non-violence. Further, it is one with the people of Region XII and Mindanao in packaging and promoting the place as a tourist destination. 

Hosting the 2nd CIOFF 2018 International Festival, the City of Koronadal will be a representative of peace and friendship that Mindanao offers and what its people continue to work and live for. CIOFF 2018 International Festival in the City of Koronadal will be a testament that will showcase not only culture and the arts from all over the world but the peace and security and opportunities in the region and the island. Not only for the locales to be educated and be entertain but the wide expanse and coverage that a CIOFF International Festival promotion will bring will also tell the world that the Philippines is definitely a destination that they should look forward to visit too.

“It is then very timely that we will continue to promote a peaceful Mindanao by inviting new social groups and artists from around the globe. We will have an inspiring journey and taste of folk art and folk culture through the diffusion of cultural heritage while promoting appreciation of their own cultural identity”, Mayor Miguel said.

Meanwhile, the International Folklore Festivals as the main asset of CIOFF organization aims to safeguard, to promote, and to diffuse intangible Cultural Heritage, mainly through such genres of expressions as music, dance, games, rituals, customs, know-how of handicraft and other arts. The festival brings together folk art performers in a peaceful and friendly atmosphere.

The 8-day festival is packed with full shows, pocket performances and lecture-demos in the city of Koronadal, the neighboring municipalities in South Cotabato and the City of Tacurong. Beyond the regular norms of street dancing, spectators will get to witness a tremendous display of folkloric presentations in a colorful celebration of. During the program, each group will present a 3-minute ensemble of traditional styles of expression through songs, music and dances.

Since security is essential for any successful festival, city Mayor Miguel made a pronouncement in a Monday convocation that he will not let up in its efforts to maintain and improve the peace and order situation of the city. “We will maximize the use of our police forces to prevent terrorism from spinning out of control”, Mayor Miguel said.
 
Further, Mayor Miguel urged Koronadaleños to abide by the curfew hours but encouraged continuance of business. “It is business as usual in the city, but always bring your identification card when going out,” the Mayor said in a radio pronouncement.

Meanwhile, Mayor Miguel is positive that the festival will deliver a big economic impact not just to the province but to the country as well.

Monies are spent on travels, tours, tickets food, accommodation and others will hugely increase financial benefits to the city and its neighboring towns and cities that will eventually carry significant influence within local, national and international economies. Further, the Mayor is positive with its big impact on the Global Tourism and Travel Aspects including a wide media coverage and promotion opportunities.
