TUBOD, Lanao del Norte, Nov. 3 (PIA) -- A centralized distribution of beef will highlight the observance of the Eid Al-Adha Korban “Beef-Sharing” festival, here, on Sunday, Nov. 6.

A major highlight of the event, the beef distribution, which will take place at the Sagadan Trade Center in Tubod Agora Market, will start at 9:00 a.m. and holders of beef coupons will be entitled to 2 kilos of fresh beef.

The celebration of Korban ‘Beef Sharing” is spearheaded by the Provincial Government of Lanao del Norte in cooperation with Pacific Dialogue Foundations.

Gov. Mohamad Khalid Q. Dimaporo said Eid Al-Adha, also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice,” is the second most momentous festival in the Muslim calendar.

He said the Eid Al-Adha is an Islamic celebration to commemorate the willingness of Prophet Ibrahim to follow God’s command to sacrifice his son Ishmael.

Dimaporo said Lanao del Norte, the Land of Beauty and Bounty, is the first province in the Philippines that will celebrate this very significant festivity through meat sharing with its constituents. (PIA-10)
