Primavera Residences Sponsors This Year’s Manresa Days, Awards Dance Contest Winners

 manresa2

Xavier University College of Agriculture annually celebrates Manresa Days to present to the public that agriculture is still our country’s backbone and plays a vital role in our food security and economy. Manresa Farm, located in uptown Cagayan de Oro in front of SM CDO, was open to the public from August 20-24, 2014 to commemorate the annual Manresa Days.

Agriculture majors from different areas in Northern Mindanao and adjacent cities participated in the event, showcasing agricultural products to the public. The highly-anticipated Rodeo sa Ateneo drew in rodeo enthusiasts from Camiguin, Bukidnon and some parts of Mindanao competing along with the rodeo group formed by Xavier University students.

The multi-awarded eco-friendly development Primavera Residences, a major sponsor of the Manresa Days and a staunch advocate of  environment conservation finds itself quite aligned with the community of agriculturists whose concern for the environment is their topmost priority.

During the opening program last August 20, the Manresa Farm Cuadra was crowded with agriculture professors and staff, families and other students who supported their own departments’ groups in the contemporary dance contest.

Three teams competed with each team consisting of 10 members. The teams should be able to interpret the Manresa Days’ theme, Agriculture at the Center, through their dance number.
