Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon has invited young adults of the city–specifically those who have turned or are turning 18 this April–to join the month-long celebration themed “R-18: Main Character Era,” aimed at teaching responsible adulthood while enjoying the privileges of being a legal adult.
“R-18 Month” is the Muntinlupa version of coming-of-age celebrations in other cultures such as those celebrated in Japan and Korea.
The celebration opened with a spate of film showings April 13, 18, and 19 at the Museo ng Muntinlupa, followed by a fair and dance competition on the 20th at the Muntinlupa Sports Complex.
Also held on April 20 is the Main Character K-Pop Random Play Dance at the Central Park in Filinvest City in Alabang, and a Youth Empowerment Forum scheduled for April 26 at the Ayala Malls South Park Activity Center.
