It's more fun in PATNONGON!: Udyakan Festival 2012!

I was out of town last weekend. I went home to celebrate the yearly event in our town the Udyakan Festival 2012! When I was traveling way back home I can feel the happiness and excitement because there are a lot of people telling me that this was a great event compared to the past year’s events. Udyakan Festival is celebrated at Patnongon, Antique during the last Monday of the month of February. The people are gathering together to witness the promising events like the Mardi Gras competition, the Street Dance Competition, Fire Dance Competition, Parada kang  Karusa Competition, etc. This event also includes the showcasing of the handicrafts or delicacies in every barangay in our town.


Base on the theme: “Manggad kag Bugal kang mga taga Patnongon’’, every Barangay has their own float expressing their livelihood. I am so flattered to see my fellow Patnonganon’s who’s been there helping to build these amazing floats. This was the first time to include this kind of competition (Parada kang Karusa Competition).

On the evening of that day (02/25/12) is the Fire Dance Competition, there are approximately 8 thousand people who are there witnessing the exotic fire dancing team. There are 4 teams who will be competing for the title. You can see at the faces of the people that they are so happy on the so called event.

This event serves as reunion to all of us because this is just the time that we will be reunited again after a couple of months coz’ almost all of us are studying in different places. We had a lot of fun! we ride on the Golden Swan, Ferris Wheel, etc. we spend time talking and talking and talking! J
