5th Belenismo sa Tarlac 2011

This is the fifth year of Belenismo! Thank you Tita Isabel and Isa for making me a part of this Christmas tradition.  I am truly honored and blessed.  Belenismo is a project that is born out of your love for Jesus and the Holy Family.

There were 148 Entries this year among the 3 categories – Monumental, Grand Monumental and Parish.  Then there are the dioramas with 50 entries.

 Congratulations Tita Isabel and Isa for al your effort in making this an annual tradition.   As always your Belen is so beautiful, thank you to Ding Mercado, who tells me that whenever he is working on his design and the Belen that he does it with much love.

I will never be tired seeing all the beautiful Belens the people of Tarlac work so hard to put up during Christmas.  I feel their energy, spirit and love when they proudly present their labor of love.  Thank you Tita Isabel and Isa for bringing that spirit to the hearts of everyone who come to see all the belens. I wish more people could come and see them live and not only in photos.

San Clemente Municipal -This was the first Belen we visited and it was really really beautiful!

Anao Municipal – One of my favorite Belens which is like Fabergé eggs.  The hanging chandeliers looking like stars are made out of recycled soda plastic litro bottles.  How creative!  It’s even much better in person

Jeffrey Valencie Residence – This was a treehouse belen.  We were all amazed at the simplicity of it and yet how beautiful it still was.  This was displayed in the front of the house of the owner who designed and made the Belen
