Higantes Festival 2018

November 20, 2018 in Events, Philippines, Rizal, Travel
The Municipality of Angono popularized the “Higantes Festival” as part of its “One Town, One Product” campaign of the Department of Trade and Industry. It eventually got listed in the recognized festivals of the Department of Tourism. The celebration includes a parade of several Higantes to honor San Clemente, the Patron Saint of Fishermen. The Higantes are made of paper-mache that measures four to five feet in diameter and ten to twelve feet in height. Traditionally, it began in the last century when Angono was a Spanish Hacienda.

Higantes Festival of Angono is one of the much awaited festivals in our country. It is now promoted as tourism-generating event in the country. This attracts numerous tourists from all over the world and it was a privileged for me to witness the festival parade last November 18, 2018! It was part of our activities in promoting Luzon’s Culture and Heritages which I will be elaborating on my future articles. For now, let me share you these photos I took during the Higantes Festival Parade. Enjoy!

    I remember when back in my elementary days, we also have these giants walking in town during the barangay fiesta. Now, I only see them on TV. I'm glad to know there is still a place to see them.

    One of the reasons why I want to visit Angono is the Petroglyphs and Higantes Festival. I hope to see the festival myself someday

    I love the photos. As a travel blogger, it's also my dream to cover one of the festivals in the city or province. It looks fun and it is what makes their culture unique. Did you also have a foodtrip in Angono? Would love to hear your experience too. More power! 😉

    I'd been reading about the Higantes Festival. Good to know they're giving it more attention today! I hope we can attend in the future. P.S. Weird to see Naruto and other characters there! I hope they re-consider that to keep its authentic, traditional feel.

    The festival is very bright and fun, so a lot of people who visit it with their children celebrate such a positive mood.

Good, high-paying jobs await qualified tech-voc grads. If only they’re given proper incentives, multisectoral support and a supportive policy environment, the tech-voc track can also be a viable alternative for young Filipinos who wish to lead productive lives. 

We may still have a long way toward strengthening our tech-voc ecosystem in the country, but with a little help and support from the government, industry, and academe, we are making crucial inroads that lay the foundation for the future. As we promote tech-voc to the youth to undergo tech-voc training, we hope that tech-voc professionalism and licensing will soon be implemented as well.

Check out this article: https://www.nicolesanmiguel.com/tech-voc-philippines to learn how we can reshape the tech-voc programs in the Philippines.
