The different City Government sponsored activities are the Drum and Lyre competition (secondary level) and the city–wide cheer dance competition on February 20 at 1pm at the City Coliseum; the Zamboanga Film Festival (Free Public Screening), on February 23-25 at the Cinematheque Zamboanga. The Awards Night will be on Feb. 25 at the Centro Latino.
Other activities organized by the City Government include the Grandiosa Venta de Mercado from Feb. 19-26 at the Plaza del Pilar and the Kasalang Bayan on Feb. 27 at the City Hall lobby. Here is the poster design and full schedule for #DiadeZamboanga.
The poster design features a typographic illustration of the word ZAMBOANGA. Each represents some elements that make up the city. Z shows the logo of Zoom In Zamboanga, the campaign we launched way back in 2013. The green represent the field where a football player is playing. This is one of the sports during the Juego na Dia de Zamboanga. A takes the shape of the City Hall, the symbolic landmark of our city, built in 1905. A couple stands in front of it symbolizing the Kasalang Bayan which is a mass wedding for its employees.
M resembles the arches in the entrance of Paseo del Mar, a popular destination for locals and tourist to witness the beautiful sunset and dine at the restaurant and bars. There is also a huge dancing fountain found in the middle of Paseo. B looks like a film camera symbolizing the Zamboanga Film Festival, which for the first time will be hosted by the City Government. The upper arch of B shows an archer with a bow an arrow symbolizing yet another sport in Juego na Dia de Zamboanga.
In the middle is the official seal of the city in a circular shape. The second A shows a hand holding the version of Halo-halo famous in Zamboanga, the Knicker Bocker. There are also scales which is inspired by the Dragon since Chinese New Year is also part of the celebration. N shows the drum and lyre which is one of the competitions. The middle stroke is in a form of a Vinta, a symbol of Zamboanga. The last stroke is inspired by the heritage lamps that can be seen in many landmarks in the city.
A cheerleader with one arm on her waist and the other up in the air forms G. The lower stroke resembles the sea and the Cawa-Cawa Boulevard with the heritage lamps, too. The cheerleader with vibrant energy shows the optimism of the Zamboangueños, and it's one of the competitions that is highly anticipated durin Dia de Zamboanga. And finally, the last letter, A, is in a form of a teepee, which is found at Pasonanca Park. Trees are also seen behind, which is a symbol of nature that we truly treasure here in the city.
