Palm Grass Hotel to mark Leon Kilat birthday and KKK founding with poetry nights
THIS July 2018, the 126th anniversary of the founding of the Katipunan and Cebu Katipunan leader Leon Kilat’s 145th birthday will be celebrated by Palm Grass, the Cebu Heritage Hotel with “Bayan, Balak, Alak”, a two-part poetry night.
On July 7, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., the founding of the KKK by hero Andres Bonifacio will be commemorated at the hotel’s library restaurant, Kapihan ni Lumaya.
The second part of the event will happen on July 31, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., four days after Tres de Abril hero Leon Kilat’s birthday.
It will be at Palm Grass’ roofdeck bar Hardin Dagami.
“Bayan, Balak, Alak” is open to both seasoned and contemporary Cebuano poets who want to share their Filipino or Bisaya poems about the country and society.
As the only heritage hotel in Cebu, Palm Grass pays tribute to the legacy and sacrifice of local heroes by naming floors, rooms, dishes and drinks after them.
The hotel also honors the descendants of Cebuano Katipunero heroes with the Kaliwat Ko’g Katipunero card (KKK) that gives special privileges and special room accommodation rates to members.
The Katipunero descendant must only present a valid ID or any supporting documents that connect the bearer to a Cebuano Katipunero and shall pay an amount of P200 for a lifetime membership.
