PAPAG AT BILAO FESTIVAL
The Concept of Bilao Festival originated as a salvo
to the celebration of Araw ng Parokya on August 31, 2002. This is a joint
effort of the Parish of St. Catherine of Alexandria, headed by Msgr. Antonio
Obeña and The LGU of Pagbilao, Quezon headed by Mayor Romeo R. Portes. The
responsible brains for the Street dancing and showdown competitions were:
Casiano M. Ayapana from the LGU, the late Engr. Christopher Ayaton, and Rowena
L. Arcelo representing the Parish of St. Catherine of Alexandria.
During the pioneering stage, there were 15
participating groups and composed of religious organizations, schools,
barangays and civic organizations. The Team Energy Corporation co-sponsored the
festival.
From the on participation to the Bilao Festival
tremendously each year. In 2008, however, the religious counterpart ceased to
celebrate with the LGU, instead had its own celebration of Araw ng Parokya.
This promoted the LGU to carry through the festivities as part of the tourism
development.
It showcases the rich resources, traditions,
values, aspirations, customs, history, culture, and arts of the municipality of
Municipality of Pagbilao, Quezon through dances, colorful costumes, and extra
ordinary props all derived from local materials.
