Batangas, being one of the most visited provinces in Southern Luzon, has quite a number of festivals. So to give you a short list of various festivals in Batangas, I made my own top 10 festivals (which I think are the most celebrated ones) that you, as a Batangueño, should take part in. Scroll down until the no.1 spot!

10. Sinuam Festival, San Jose – Poultry industry is San Jose’s main drive for its economic growth. Being the top producer of eggs in the province and also in the neighboring areas in the region, the people of San Jose derived their festival from a dish made out of their main produce – sinuam (egg soup). Sinuam Festival is celebrated on the 25th of April (San Jose’s foundation day) and just like any other festivals, street dancing highlights the celebration.

9. Sinukmani Festival, Rosario – Sinukmani is one of the famous Filipino meriendas (I even consider this a dessert) made of sticky rice cooked in sugar (I don’t know if they have other ingredients for this). Celebrated on June 9, Sinukmani Festival is participated by local folks, preparing and decorating their own sinukmani, making them visually and gastronomically enticing. This year’s celebration was an attempt to make a world record of the longest line of sinukmani ever made.

8. Tinapayan Festival, Cuenca – I love festivals that showcase local delicacies. Tinapayan Festival puts the spotlight on the hardworking bakers or panaderos of Cuenca, the reason why the town claimed the title “Home of the Bakers”. The festival includes bread-making contests and festive parade to present the finished products of the bakers and celebrated sometime in June.

7. Walistik Festival, Lipa City – I can’t remember the last time I went to see this festival. Walistik originated from the word walis (broom) and the Tagalog slang for incredible (walastik). This festival is being done on the second week of January or as part of the celebration of the city’s fiesta, January 20. How is this celebrated? Often with a street dance competition where walis is used as the main material for the dancers’ costumes.

6. Anihan Festival, Lobo – Lobo is famous for its white sand beaches and the Malabrigo lighthouse. But it was only last year that I learned that this town boasts of abundant produce such as tamarind (Lobo is the proud producer of tamarind wine), rice, custard apple (atis), corn kernels, and buli fabrics to name a few. A street parade and dance competition are the main events of the Anihan Festival (last week of September) – the people’s way of thanking God for a bounty produce.

5. Sublian Festival, Batangas City – This is a meaningful festival as it encompasses the cultural and religious oneness of the people of Batangas City. Sublian is part of the week-long celebration of the city’s founding anniversary, July 23. Subli is a ceremonial dance to worship the Holy Cross.

4. Balsa Festival, Matabungkay, Lian – When I was little our family would always have Matabungkay beach as our summer destination before other beach resorts started sprouting. And then the people of Matabungkay came up with a brilliant idea to attract more tourists – the Balsa Festival. Matabungkay beach is famous for the bamboo beach raft or balsa. As far as I know, the festival doesn’t have an exact date of celebration but it’s always held on the month of May.

3. Lambayok Festival, San Juan – Lambayok stands for the three main products of San Juan – lambanog (coconut wine), lambat (fish net), and palayok (clay pot). We had a very unforgettable experience of this festival last year that’s why it landed 3rd on my list. Celebrated on the second week of December, the Lambayok Festival shows off the creativity and camaraderie of the San Juan folks.

2. Kabakahan Festival, Padre Garcia – Padre Garcia is a town close to my heart (hahaha) and when the team went there to celebrate with the town folks in the Kabakahan Festival last year, we had a first hand experience of the hospitality of the Garcianos. This is one of the most notable festivals in the region and I must say, another world-class event, with a Wild Wild West vibe to it.

1. Parada ng Lechon, Balayan – Why it landed on my list’s no.1 spot? Because it always reminds me of my childhood, when our family would go there to celebrate this festival with my uncle’s in-laws. I remember how cholesterol and future heart problems were ignored back then, haha. But I don’t like being soaked with water during the parade, that was before. Now, let’s bring all the water guns out! I’m looking forward to see these roasted pigs clad in different costumes for this year’s Parada ng Lechon.

So these are the Top 10 most celebrated festivals in Batangas, at least for me. Thumbs up or thumbs down? Let me know!

Absolut Distillers, Inc. in Lian, Batangas and Nestle Philippines Lipa factory were among those industries cited by the DENR.

“These companies are a model when it comes to environmental performance. Aside from having no case filed against them with the Pollution Adjudication Board for the past three years, they are also in compliance with all applicable environmental laws,” DENR Secretary Lito Atienza said.

Other industries cited were the following: Analog Devices in Gen. Trias, Cavite; Nestle Phils. Cabuyao factory in Laguna; ON Semiconductor in Carmona, Cavite; ST Microelectronics in Calamba, Laguna; and PSI Technologies and Vishay Phils., Inc., both in Taguig City were given the awards earlier this week in ceremonies at the DENR office in Quezon City.

Meanwhile, PEPP is a program implemented by the Environmental Management Bureau (EMB), which pushes for “a paradigm shift in the environmental management strategy of the private sector” by encouraging them to undertake voluntary adherence to environmental laws and regulations.

PEPP’s objective is to support industries in the country as they move “towards self-regulation through improved environmental performance.” By providing them with a package of incentives and reward, the DENR hopes that business establishments, particularly small and medium enterprises, will adopt pollution prevention and cleaner production processes.

Batangas Gov. Vilma Santos Recto gratefully accept the check amounting to Php138,000.00 which will be used for the supplemental feeding program to be conducted under the said project from PAGCOR Tagaytay General Manager Mr. Jose Tulio and Ms. Marilyn Mahinan.

“Ako po ay lubos na nagpapasalamat sa inyo sa pagpili sa probinsya ng Batangas para sa pagpapatupad ng SAGIP MUSMOS project lalo na at ito ay makakatulong sa mga mahihirap na bata sa lalawigan,” Gov, Vilma expressed.

According to Mr. Tulio, the SAGIP MUSMOS project is part of their company’s commitment of bringing back to the public the gains of the PAGCOR and help provide a brighter future to the children of the province. He also acknowledged the initiative and support of DSWD bringing the SAGIP MUSMOS project to Batangas.

The theme for this year’s Nutrition month celebration is “Wastong nutrisyon kailangan, lifestyle diseases iwasan.” Asst Dir. Wilma D. Naviamos of DSWD Field Office IV-A, in her message stressed the importance of having a balance and proper diet to ensure lifestyle related disease such as diabetes, heart, lungs and liver ailments. She also acknowledged the value of giving support to poor families to ensure proper nutrition is provided to their respective family members especially the children as espoused by the SAGIP MUSMOS project.

Under the SAGIP MUSMOS project, 200 malnourished children with ages below 6 years old from participating day care centers from the municipalities of Rosario, Lian, San Juan and Nasugbu will be provided 1 meal a day worth Php30.00 for 5 days in a week for a period of six months. The check awarded covers only the amount needed for the 1st month of implementation.
