Bulacan honors Farmers, Fishermen with “Bahay Kubo, Bahay Gulay”
 As part of the celebration of Singkaban (Sining at Kalinangan ng Bulacan) Festival, the Bulacan Provincial Government held “Bahay Kubo, Bahay Gulay” with the theme “Pista sa Nayon: Handog sa mga Magsasaka at Mangingisda” at the HBCC Pavilion, Capitol Compound last September 10. The Carabao Festival and Obando Fertility Dance Parade highlighted the event later that day. Bulacan Governor Joselito Mendoza formally opened the occasion with a message of thanksgiving to the farmers and fisherfolks who contribute a great amount of effort for the realization of the province’s goal- to give every Bulakeño family adequate food on their plates. The celebration aimed at giving honor to farmers, vegetable producers and fishermen in the province by showcasing their fruits of labor. The event displayed different towns and municipalities in Bulacan with their nipa huts filled with different vegetable products. Every bahay kubo which serves as booth has its distinction from each other. The team from Plaridel even had its accompanying music to get the people’s attention. Carabaos with their karitelas and fertility dancers lined up and occupied the compound with Drew Arellano at the near end of the motorcade as he covered the said festivity for Unang Hirit, a local morning tv program aired at GMA channel 7. After the parade, devotees led the procession of the image of the Sta. Clara, the main attraction of the Obando Fertility Dance. (Mar Florence C. Sebastian) Possibly Related Posts:
