The Higante Parade in the afternoon of Wednesday, January 11 was a box office hit. Through their creation and imagination, they expressed via their respective “Higantes”. These municipalities represented in the parade exhibited their artistic skills.
Inspite of the P250,000 funding of the Higante Parade, some Municipalities did not participate. They are Balete, New Washington, Ibajay, Makato, Altavas, Lezo and Banga. Lezo though sent a contingent.
But for only one thing. The parade was scheduled to start at 2:00 o’clock in the afternoon, yet it started late. The last Higante arrived at Pastrana Park at 5:15 in the afternoon. Nevertheless, the people patiently waited along the route to see the giants.

The participation of Libacao in the Higante Parade demonstrated its strong quest to have more tourists to visit and see Libacao. Dancing with Datu Lubay are the hospitable Libacaonons contingent. Some of them carrying posters which portray the verdant hills, waterfall and cascading clear waters in its river so thrilling to navigate.

Fiesta is highly associated with business, prayers, foods, drinks, revelry, the Sr. Sto. Niño Ati Atihan Festival included.
This year, hundred of thousands, maybe million pesos were spent for uniforms of the devotees of the tribal groups. Cloth manufacturers made a good business of festivals; the artists too made money out of fiesta. Street dancing is merrymaking at Magsaysay Park and at Pastrana Park. There are food and drinks both in the houses and by the roadsides including in hotels and restaurants. There are prayers in the church, “paeapak” novena and religious procession. Hence, festivals portray the economic, social and cultural levels of the community and people. The hosts must show their best in all these aspects. /MP mailto:madyaas_pen@yahoo.com
