HALINA SA LUCBAN's PAHIYAS FESTIVAL 2006 The most attractive and the most well-known of all SAN ISIDRO LABRADOR FIESTAS is, of course, LUCBAN's PAHIYAS, which is held from May 10 to 16. Houses competed with the most eye-catching and original decorations. Indeed, making the Pahiyas (which means "to decorate") competitive in recent years has given people impetus to participate and create grander or more inventive designs. O course, everywhere the fiesta's traditional decorating item reigned: The kiping! Kiping is rice wafer made by steaming brightly colored rice batter over fresh leaves and then drying them. One cannot call Pahiyas the Pahiyas without the kiping. When God gave out the gift of creativity, the people of Quezon must have been in the front row. Once you experience the fiestas here, you immediately appreciate the artistry that abounds. Tara na, pasyal tayo! Visit: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/biyahero/ http://biyahero.blogs.friendster.com/
