Lanzones, the pearl of Camiguin – a
sweet round yellowish grape-like fruit dominant all over the island. Craved by
visitors, wanted by tourists, and fancied by international tourists, cultivated
and nourished by the very own hardworking and compassionate Camiguingnons. Its
abundance and sweetness like no others turns Camiguin into a wonder.
As a
return, Camiguingnons rejoice and celebrate annually the Camiguin Lanzones
Festival. A week-long celebration of series of events concerning mainly to the
blessed fruit.
Then,
places start getting crowded… Crowds getting wild… Drums sounding “Trak… Tak…
Tak… Boom… Boom!, Dancers dancing meritoriously amidst undeniable pain,
Festival Queens and Diwatas waving gracefully with shimmering, elegant dresses
beaming with confidence, poise and beauty.
Contingents
dances merrily along the street under the scourging heat of the sun,
unflaggingly trying to stand out amongst other competitors wanting to leave a
mark, making its Alma matter proud and leaving the viewers stunned by their
mesmerizing performances.
Tension rises as the dancers unleashed their
incomparable and strenuous drama making the crowd thunderous and noisy. Its astonishing view but from afar solaces one who is succumbed with
great burden and brings smile to an innocent child.
Camiguin Lanzones Festival is merely not just
a celebration. It is a symbol of unity among all. Witness Camiguin’s Lanzones
Festival, an event that can change your life.
