The festival is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and vibrant community spirit of the municipality. During its fifth staging, the festival continues to uphold its mission of promoting unity or “Bayanihan” among its people while showcasing the diverse cultural activities and locally made products that define Buguias.
With the theme “Albubo Para Si Pansigedan di I-Buguias,” the week-long celebration aimed to deepen the sense of solidarity among residents and visitors alike.
Residents and tourists were treated to a colorful display of dance performances by different elementary and high schools in the municipality. These dances, steeped in tradition and symbolism, not only entertained but also served as a reminder of the community’s cultural roots.
These cultural presentations provided insights into Buguias’ history, customs, and values, further deepening appreciation for its heritage. (Text and photos by Roderick Osis)
