“The Kuratsa is a cultural tradition long practiced in Samar and Leyte, from the city centers to even the farthest barangays. It is not limited to fiestas but is performed on many occasions such as weddings, birthdays, school events, and other community gatherings.”
Office of Samar Gov. Sharee Ann Tan
Sigun iti kampo ni Tan, paset ti kuratsa ti maaw-awagan a gala wenno “money showering,” a mangisimbolo iti kinaparabur ken “community spirit.”
“We recognize that some may feel that public officials must avoid joining activities such as the Kuratsa in order to remain sensitive to the people’s concerns. We deeply respect this view.”
Office of Samar Gov. Sharee Ann Tan
“Governor Tan joins these cultural traditions not to display wealth or power, but to honor the Samarnon identity and to support the causes they represent, in this case, the local church and its communities.”
