Aliwan Fiesta 2009: Ibon-Ebon Festival Pampanga

Candaba's Ibon-Ebon Festival is held on the first weekend of February to show wildlife protection in a sustainable environment. The townsfolk began celebrating the peak season of migratory birds, with the opening of the Candaba Swamp Wildlife Reserve as a new tourist destination. Candaba also happens to be the top producer of duck eggs which are usually made into balut, itlog na maalat (salted eggs) and a gourmet specially called burong ebon. The festival itself features bird-watching tours and an agro-trade fair with side activities like boat-racing, kite-flying, duck races, itik-cooking contest and the search for the best-dressed itik. The Ibon-Ebon float laden with bird-like objects representing both the Candaba's environmental concern and agricultural productivity - striking the balance of people's needs and sustainability. Kite-makers, parol-makers and other Kapampangan artisans designed the float, which also shows a representation of ther patron saint - San Nicolas de Tolentino.

Kahit tanungin mu ang taga pampanga im sure they dont care about the best tourism events title, mas alam nila ang SINULOG infact pampanga sent a contingent in SINULOG 2006 headed by former governor Mark Lapid. Lol! Mas maganda pa panoorin ang ibon-ebon kaysa dinagyang!

HAHA D NGA KAU NAKAPWESTO SA bEST TOURISM.. ATLEAST KAMI MY PLACE PA DN SA ALIWAN EH KAU MY PLACE B KAU SA bEST TOURSIM D BA WALA?

[FestivalQueen01]

Cheskabitch is not a CEBUANO but an ILONGGO. She is using SINULOG and sinisiraan ang ibang festivals to create a BAD IMAGE against CEBUANOS. This insecure loosers are just sour graping because their beloved dinagyang festival lost to SINULOG 3X in a row making us the 1st hall of famer in ALIWAN. Cebuanos dont act like this, sinisiraan lang talaga kami

[FestivalQueen01]

Oh how desperate of u 3buLUNOK sinisiraan mu pa ang mga CEBUANO dito. Hindi utang na loob nila kung tinulungan sila ng music director ninyo, coz he was hired & besides no offense pero hindi naman kagandahan ang musicality kaya cguro hindi sila na salo sa TOP 10. I would suggest kung gusto ninyong mapasok sa TOP 10 sa ALIWAN hire a cebuano choreographer and musicians, ABUYOG, LAPAY BANTIGUE & SILOY SA ALCOY are all trained by CEBUANO choreographers & their music was composed by CEBUANO musicians
