Fiesta escapade in Lanao, Pilar,Camotes Islands,Philippines via Ormoc City

April 29, 2009

 

The fiesta is part and parcel of Filipino culture. Through good times and bad times, the Filipino fiesta must go on. Each town and barrio has at least one local festival of its own, usually on the feast of its patron saint, a thanks giving for peace and  bountiful harvest and  so that there is always a fiesta going on somewhere in the country. Fiesta can take place in any part of the year, but especially the month of May is the month of fiesta.

Once a year the entire town or barrio is decorated for the annual feast, in which there will be plenty of food and drinks for all. Preparations for the fiesta already start long before, preparing for the decoration, and saving for food and fattening the pigs., because a fiesta can be complete without a roasted pig “lechon” and plenty of beer, local and wine to match and everybody is welcome to dine and drink and no invitation is required.

Once a year, the entire town is decorated for the annual feast, in which there will be plenty of free food and drinks for all. Preparations for the fiesta already start long before, preparing the decoration, and saving for food, and fattening the pigs — because no fiesta can be complete without lechon baboy, roasted pig, and plenty of beer and tuba to match. Everybody is welcome, no invitations required.

 

We were invited to attend a fiesta celebration by my mother in law, in Lanao, Pilar , Camotes Islands, Philippines. We left Cebu with few relative via Ormoc City and rode a pump boat  to  the town of Pilar, Camotes Islands.
