DAPITAN CITY, Philippines (Mindanao Examiner / May 6, 2011) – Zamboanga del Norte province in the southern Philippines is all set for the grand celebration of the Hudyaka Festival and thousands of local and foreign tourists are expected to flock to the historic Dapitan City.
Tourism officer lawyer Ivan Patrick Ang said systematic preparation has been done by the provincial and city government for the month-long celebration. The province is also hosting the Palarong Pambansa.
Ang, who is also the deputy chairman of the Palarong Pambansa Executive Committee, said the festival will also showcase various programs that feature Zamboanga del Norte’s culture and heritage.
Display booths for agro-industrial showcase have been set-up near the Dapitan City Aquamarine Park and are expected to attract traders and investors from all over the country.
“This must be a more than imposing event considering the fact that a national school sports festival is incorporated in a grand celebration of the Hudyaka,” the official said. “It is worth noting that Hudyaka Festival forms part the cultural identification of the province of Zamboanga del Norte and help enliven the economic activity of thousands of local investors during the conduct of this much-awaited tourism event not only in Mindanao, but the whole country as well.”
Hudyaka – more than any celebration
Hudyaka is a Visayan term which means vibrant, full of action and merrymaking of the people to celebrate a festival. The word fittingly described the yearly celebration of Zamboanga del Norte’s founding anniversary that falls every summer vacation in which the provincial government finds the event a perfect medium to offshoot its offer to push tourism development.
Hudyaka Festival is considered to be the mother of all festivals in the province and features various interesting jovial celebrations of the 25 municipalities and two cities that converge in a single revelry.
“It’s more than a celebration. The festival does not only bring people closer together but it also boasts the economy of the province,” Ang said.
While festival-goers value its social benefits, exhibitors and business operators also expand profitable advantage. Hudyaka serves as an element to the advancement of the province considering its intense economic and cultural contribution.
“The province cannot be of success if we cannot offer alluring choices to our guests. With much enthusiasm, we have different categories and activities for you to choose from, may it be from sports inclined individuals to party enthusiasts, or you may be bold and daring, there is nothing you can ever ask for, all the fun and excitement, surely this place in the Southern part of the country will be your best destination.”
“It offers a lot of exciting summer sports events – scuba and skin diving, breathtaking zip line adventure, swimming, beach volleyball and a lot more activities that will make your summer worth fun and memorable,” he said.
Perfect summer destination
And if traveling is a passion for many people, the province is a must travel destination this summer.
