Nothing\ncan stop Filipinos from celebrating festivals. It has become an essential part\nof the Filipino identity to rejoice over achievements by gathering together as\none big family. But what makes every festival worth looking forward for is the\nsumptuous food prepared during this long-awaited agape. While most festivals\nare dominated with lechon,<\/em> adobo, humba,<\/em> menudo, crispy pata, and many\nother greasy and fatty dishes, there\u2019s one town in Cebu that celebrates it the\ngreen way \u2013 Dalaguete.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfectly\nsituated at the highlands of Cebu, Dalagute is considered as the \u201cVegetable\nBasket\u201d of the province. Its weather and geographical location makes it\nsuitable for planting cabbage, lettuce, carrots, cauliflower, and many other\nvegetables in the area. These crops are highly valuable for trading and\neconomic stability not only of the municipality, but also of the neighboring\ncities that depend on Dalaguete for sustenance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\nthanksgiving for a year of bounteous harvest, Dalaguete celebrates Utanon Festival<\/strong> every February 9 and 10\nin honor of their patron saint, San Guillermo de Aquitania, whom they believed\nto have blessed the town. The term \u201cUtanon\u201d was coined from the local term\nmeaning \u201cvegetables\u201d. This celebration is highlighted through street dance and\nshowdown competition to market the vegetable industry of the municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With\nmore tourists coming to Dalaguete to visit Osmena Peak and its neighboring\nsummits, may people become aware of how rich and diverse is the agricultural\nsetup of our country. May Filipinos take part in the promotion of agriculture\nas it sustains the backbone of our economy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
