Mambajao town mayor Ma. Luisa D. Romualdo led the traditional breaking of pots as "pabuenas" that contains lanzones, coins and water during the opening of 32nd Camiguin Lanzones Festival
A LONGER and grander caravan around the island's 64.08 kilometer circumferential roads jovially opended the 32nd celebration of the Camiguin Lanzones Festival on Sunday October 16, 2011.
At the Camiguin Tourism Center, Governor Jurdin Jesus M. Romualdo cut the ceremonial ribbon to formally open the festivities. He was assisted by Vice Governor Leo G. Lasacar and witnessed by town and provincial officials in this “island born of fire,” also known for its natural wonders and sweetest lanzones-bearing trees.
Slated from Oct. 16 to 23, the event showcases Camiguin’s native fruit at the Agro-Industrial Technology Trade Fair dubbed as "UGMAD," which means “to till’ or “to cultivate” in the local dialect.
