CITY OF MATI, Davao Oriental- Now on its 11th year, the Sambuokan Festival emerges as one of Mati City’s top crowd drawer that has started to carve a name in the local, as well as in the national tourism scene in the country. | |||
Sambuokan has depicted the transformation of Mati from a small and quiet municipality in the festival’s early days to the very promising component city that it is today. | |||
“True to its essence, Sambuokan Festival is indeed a manifestation of unity and brotherhood for all Matinians. We have been through a lot, particularly in our struggle for citihood, and in the tough times, we managed to conquer it all because of our unity, for our love of Mati,” Mayor Michelle Rabat explains. | |||
Conceptualized to be a simple celebration for the Founding Anniversary of the municipality of Mati, it eventually became a street dancing extravaganza participated by the different schools in the city, and from the neighboring municipalities. | |||
The body movement of the performers, their every move, and the facial expressions reveal a language of pride for the richness of Mati’s culture and its abundance in natural resources. | |||
For this year, Sambuokan’s festivity runs for ten days, starting on Oct. 20, 2011. | |||
The Sambuokan Festival starts with the Seminar on Best Practices for Business Establishments, Tree Planting Activity, Anito Run for Pawikan sa Dahican 2011, Concert at the Bay, Lanog: School Band Showdown, Amemdo Inter-Office Sportsfest Opening, Lakanbini ng Sambuokan 2011 Presentation and Fashion Walk, Lakanbini ng Sambuokan 2011 Finals Nite, Engkuwentro sa Baywalk 2-Amateur Boxing Invitation, Mati’s Got Talent, Bodybuilding 2011, Bugno ng Gintong Kamao-Mindawide Amateur Boxing, Tourism Business Encounter-May Asenso sa Turismo Cooperative Day, 2nd Annual Skumboarding Challenge, Dance Craze Contest, Sambuokan Thanksgiving Mass, Foundation Day Programme, Pasa PlatoUltiMati, Dahican Beach Party, and highlighting the festivity is the Indak-Indak sa Sambuokan Street Dancing Competition on Oct. 28, 2011. | |||
Since Mati’s citihood was sealed with the final decision of the Supreme Court upholding the constitutionality of the citihood of the League of 16, Sambuokan Festival is now on its own a stand alone festival, after it shared festivity with the foundation day of Mati, then a municipality, for many colorful and productive years. | |||
“Though Sambuokan is now on its own, but the real essence stands still, and that is our unity. We have proven that though our unity we can do and achieve a lot. And this is something that we can be rest remembered of. Also, the festival serves as a tribute to the forefathers of Mati, like the former Mayor Paking Rabat and former Assemblywoman Edith Rabat who contributed to its progress with their vision and love of Mati,” she added. | |||
Celebrating Sambuokan Festival is a showcase of gratitude, as it goes down to the history of Mati as a legacy beyond putting into oblilvion. | |||
“Let us celebrate Sambuokan as a fitting tribute to Mati, and as a constant reminder to all Matinians that in unity, there is strength, and we should not let our strength be toppled with challenges, with just a few who look at life differently. The Sambuokan spirit is always positive, full of hope, and never give up on what seems to be impossible,” Mayor Rabat concluded. | |||
