GLAN, Sarangani, Oct 11 (PIA)--The twelfth staging of the Lubi-Lubi sa Glan Festival last October 8, was a rousing success, with | |||
previous Lubi-Lubi combined. | |||
Throughout the week-long festivities, which hit the ground running on October 1, the festival area, particularly the party zone, was thronged with revelers out for a good time, and the kiosk operators and vendors had never it so good, making a killing from sales on foods, drinks and other fun items. | |||
“The festival mood was unprecedented. People from all walks of life, from far and wide, turned up in almost all events we had put on for this year’s celebration. I promise you we will go one better next Lubi-Lubi,” said Mayor Victor James “Tata” Yap, Sr. | |||

hilt. | |||

Another concert, featuring the town’s very own Glanians Band and sponsored by SMB/Coca-Cola, wrapped up Day 4. | |||

Center. | |||

On Day 8, Foundation Day, it was showtime, kicking off with a civic military parade at 7:30 a.m., followed by the spectacular Lubi-Lubi | |||
street dancing, the basketball final, a disco concert and a dazzling fireworks display that had the crowd "star-gazing" until the wee hours | |||
of the morning. | |||

North Cotabato. | |||
