The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Pasinaya operates on a pay-what-you-can, watch-all-you-can model, giving audiences unusually broad access to performances by CCP resident companies such as the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra, the Bayanihan National Dance Company, the Ramon Obusan Folkloric Group, and the Madrigal Singers, all within a single weekend

The mystery stays covered

Its structure spans four distinct components, Palabas for performances, Palitan as an arts market connecting artists with producers, Paseo Museo as a hop-on hop-off museum tour, and Palaro showcasing Philippine-mythology-themed games and comics, making it one of the most comprehensive open-house arts festivals in the country
