BASCO, Batanes- The municipality of Uyugan is set to celebrate town fiesta on May 10, featuring its 5th Kamanidungan festival. | |||
Kamanidungan, from the root word "manidung" which means to help, is a local term for cooperativism, concentrated on house making, a genuine traditional cooperativism that is still strong in Uyugan. | |||
The peculiarity of the traditional cooperativism begins with the provision of housing materials for a traditional house such as posts, lumber, cogon, reeds, nails, tying materials and stones by neighbors, town folks and friends, aside from the free labor. | |||
This year,the Uyugan festival will feature the pitching in of construction materials, the categorized subworkers, and the main laborers in erecting a traditional Ivatan house. | |||
Less abled men helped in the preparation of food for lunch, snacks and drinks. The animal to be butchered will be provided by the house owner, but rice, yam, camote, firewood and bread fruit leaves, wine, and other drinks are provided through donations from neighbors and the workers themselves. | |||
To be featured along with the Kamanidungan will be the agro-fair of their farm and home products for the public. | |||
Kamanidungan festival, along with Mahatao’s Rakanen festival, (vegetables as main product) last March 17 to 19, Basco’s Kulay Festival on April 16-19, Sabtang Mayes Festival (corn) on April 25 to 27, were being held as the prelude to Batanes Day on June 26. | |||
