LUCENA CITY, Quezon- The Pahiyas and Agawan festivals of the towns of Lucban and Sariaya are now featured in the Bureau of Domestic Trade – Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Calabarzon festival fair held at Trade and Industry Building, Gil Puyat Ave., Makati City.
Johnny Arcilla and Marian Capadocia flashed fine form and came away with a pair of straight-set victories to rule their respective divisions in the fifth Gov. Anacleto Alcala Memorial Cup tennis tournament at the Lucena City Tennis Club in Lucena City yesterday.


According to Alberto Bay, Jr., Quezon provincial tourism officer, the festival fair will run from May 2 to 30 where the unique custom of drinking lambanog (coconut wine) will be presented.
The top-seeded Arcilla clipped doubles partner Patrick Tierro, 6-3, 6-3, to complete his domination of the men’s side of the week-long event held as part of Rep. Irvin Alcala and Vice Gov. Vicente Alcala’s sports development program in Lucena.


“The province is known for ‘lambanog’, and many women in the towns of Sampaloc, Mauban, and Tayabas are also known as good lambanog drinkers,” Bay said
The second-ranked Capadocia, on the other hand, quashed Marinel Rudas’ bid for another upset with an emphatic 6-2, 6-1 victory in the women’s final of the tournament sponsored by Pueblo Por La Playa and St. Jude Satellite City.


Bay added that the festival fair will help to boost the tourism industry in the province.
Arcilla, a many-time PCA Open champion, imposed his will early and never gave Tierro a chance to retaliate, closing out his campaign in the week-long Group B event the way he started it – in one-sided fashion.


Also featured in the fair are the local produce like langgonisa, "pancit habhab," "budin," "apas," and some One-Town, One-Product (OTOP) products in the province.
The 31-year-old Arcilla opened up with a 6-0, 6-1 romp over Jerry Pacaigue then swept past Kristian Tesorio, 6-1, 6-1, Alexander Lazaro, 6-2, 6-2, and Rolando Ruel, 6-0, 6-2, to set up a title duel with Tierro.


On May 15, the Pahiyas festival of Lucban, Agawan festival in Sariaya; Baluarte’t Arangya festival in Gumaca, and Mayohan festival in Tayabas are simultaneously celebrated in the province.
Capadocia, meanwhile, proved too tough for Rudas with the 16-year-old find, also the reigning PCA Open ladies champion, breaking Rudas early to gain the momentum in the first set before re-asserting her might in next to wrap up the crown.
 
It was a sorry setback for Rudas, who primed herself up for the crown with a 6-2, 5-7, 7-6(5) win over top seed Clarice Patrimonio in the semis. But Capadocia proved up to the task, outclassing Rudas with her forehand winners and solid baseline game to clinch the victory.
