Bon Odori is finally back to being held in Cebu after three years. The beloved Japanese Summer Festival took place on May 6 and 7, 2023, at the Puregold open lot in the North Reclamation Area.

The cultural links between Japan and the Philippines are often celebrated throughout the country, and Bon Odori is one occasion that acknowledges the contribution of cultural exchange to this connection. This celebration, which occurs every year in different regions of Japan, has also spread to the Philippines, especially to the city of Cebu.
The Cebu Japanese Association is in charge of organizing the Bon Odori events in Cebu. The Japanese community on the island is using this event to introduce the local population to their culture. It gives Filipinos the chance to gain better knowledge of Japanese culture and customs. The event had a three-year long hiatus due to some of the members in the community having to go back to Japan during the pandemic.

Fortunately for us, it is finally back with a triumphant return! Several entertainment facets included Japanese vocalist SHOGO (175R) along with the appearance of Japanese YouTuber Fumiya, and more. Contests were prominent as well for karaoke, cosplay, and beauty. Among other activities, there was a fireworks display with the Bon Odori dance as one of the main attractions of the event. Everything was accompanied by traditional Japanese cuisine, beverages, and games.
A wonderful instance of how cultural interaction can improve international relations is the Bon Odori festival in Cebu. The event offers a venue for Filipinos and Japanese to come together, celebrate their common heritage, and develop new bonds. It is a testimony that despite differences in culture, people can unite through celebration, music, and dance.
For everyone interested in Japanese culture, Bon Odori is a must-attend event. It is also a wonderful chance to recognize the close ties between the Philippines and Japan.

“I felt like there are a lot of people who need to know the basics of freelancing. A lot of people, especially my Mom friends, keep asking me how I started”, Kris expressed.
The book covers Kris’ experiences as she started as a freelancer and other topics related to online freelancing, such as:
Basics of freelancing
The difference between traditional and digital freelancing
Pros and Cons of Online Freelancing
What to Expect
Skills you can work on to start your freelancing journey

Starting was not easy for Kris as well, but she hustled to help take care of her late father with his medical bills while building her business. She also experienced many ups and downs, especially during the onslaught of Typhoon Odette.
Kris shared how typhoon Odette affected her online business. She lost clients because of the signal loss. But she built her business again, and it all worked out from there.
With her experiences and struggles, she wanted to make something to give back to the community, and alas, she thought of launching her own freelancing guidebook. When asked why she chose to do a book and not an online course, Kris said she wanted to make something people could get back to at any time.
“I chose to write a book cos it’s easier, it’s something people can get back to, and they can bring it everywhere. It’s easier for those who do not have internet as well because they can access the book any time.”
