aliwan 2009…lambayok festival  

Sorry for the hiatus… my laptop crashed on me… so i had to bring it to a repair center… it’s working perfectly now… thank God. :)


Lambayok Festival of San Juan Batangas

This festival showcases the three major industries of the municipality – lambanog, palayok-making,  along with the growing resort sector.  Their festival promotes creativity, ingenuity, and hard work.  The core theme of their presentation revolves round the lambanog, often called the poor man’s drink because of the abundance of coconut and the relatively cheap distillation process it goes through.

Tribu Mangangarit will depict the popular ‘tagayan’ – a tradition of simplicity handed down from one generation to the next.



Mangangarit are workers who climb the trees in the afternoon to prune the flowers and gather the sap in bamboo receptacles.






Their float, aptly called lambanugan, was crafted from various materials from the coconut tree, and shows how and where lambanog is processed.
