NextGen Day

For inhabitants and visitors in the province of Ilocos Norte, February will be especially memorable because there will be three unique holidays celebrated, including in this provincial capital and the nearby town of Sarrat.

Malacaang has proclaimed special non-working days in all of the provinces to mark the 205th anniversary of its creation on February 2, the Pamulinawen Festival in Laoag City on February 10, and the Binakol Festival in Sarrat on February 28.

To ensure smooth traffic in downtown Laoag during the month-long festivities of the Pamulinawen Festival, authorities have created a traffic plan.

According to the city government’s official Facebook page, traffic rerouting signs and traffic advisories have been put up in preparation for the civic-military parade on February 1.

According to the public advice, during the civic-military parade, grand parade, and street dancing contests, only light vehicles will be permitted to travel through the city proper.

The Laoag bypass route is available for use by northbound vehicles, including buses, trucks, and other long vehicles.

The Pamulinawen Festival has developed into a more magnificent celebration of the history and heritage of the city. It honors the feast day of Saint William the Hermit, the patron saint of adopted children.

One of the highlights of the foundation anniversary will be the much-anticipated cultural dance competition Tan-ok ni Ilokano (Greatness of the Ilocano) Festival of Festivals on February 24 in Ilocos Norte.

The event will bring together thousands of cultural performers and fans in the recently renovated Ferdinand E. Marcos sports stadium and will highlight the magnificence of the Ilocanos through distinctive festival dances from 21 municipalities and the towns of Laoag and Batac.

The Tan-ok month is the province’s largest effort to date to elevate the bar in cultural acts, enhancing the Ilocano sense of pride, unity, and greatness, provincial tourism officer Ianree Raquel said on Saturday. As a result, the province anticipates receiving more visitors this year.

In an interview, Raquel stated that the contingents, who are currently preoccupied with event preparation, are under the most strain.

Additionally, the event offers the chance for unpaid workers including designers, make-up artists, production personnel, and event organizers to generate extra money.

The town’s loom weaving industry is highlighted during Sarrat’s Binakol Festival, which is now in its eleventh year.
