Tinagba Festival


Every February 11th, Iriguenos celebrate Tinagba Festival to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. The festivities is characterized by a parade of farm carts drawn by "carabaos" as a way of giving thanks to the Almighty Lord for a bountiful harvest. Each barangay is represented by a cart uniquely decorated with farm produce from each respective barangay.

Tinagba 2000 was a success as usual, and attended by dignitaries from local (Mayor "Manny" Alfelor and his lovely wife, above picture) and national governments. Secretary of National Defense Orly Mercado and his beloved wife below, attended the celebration. 

Isn't it beautiful?
