Sabangan celebrates Gagayam festival

Sabangan Mayor Marcial Capyusen Lawilao extolled the youth sector with their sterling performances in showcasing Sabangan’s rich culture and traditional dances and music in the hope that they will be the cultural bearers of the highland town.

The Gagayam festival celebrated March 21, rekindled family ties and is a thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest in the municipality’s 15 barangays.

Students, tribal and farmer folks clad in their colorful ethnic regalia perform traditional dances and music of the Kankanaey tribe, featuring harvest, weddings, planting season and daily life scenes.
