Adivay 2012, Celebrating Benguet's 112th Foundation Day

By -
Another month long cultural and community event is scheduled this November in LA TRINIDAD, Benguet, in celebration of the Province's 112th Foundation Day dubbed as Adivay Festival.

Adivay is an Ibaloi term meaning coming together. This year's theme “Accelerating Response to Social Challenges,” kicked off on November 8 through an ecumenical service and a press conference at the Ben Palispis Hall of the provincial capitol.

Governor Fongwan highlighted the events that are to follow at the press conference which was followed by media presentation of the Miss Benguet candidates where journalists voted for the darling of the press.

The main event will be on November 23, the foundation day itself, which was declared a special non-working holiday in the province by virtue of Proclamation No. 485. There will be a cañao, an indigenous thanksgiving rites and other activities such as civic parade, a day for Overseas Filipino Workers and “I-Benguet ay nan abroad” (migrants abroad) who are welcome to join the activity, battle of the bands, and fireworks.

Here's a complete list of the month-long activities.

Strawberry Lane: A Fair name for a Trade Fair at the Strawberry Festival

By -

One of the unique innovations during the Strawberry festival is the Strawberry Lane which offers variety of strawberry inspired products from donuts to facial scrub. What was removed from the Baguio Panagbenga Festival which was the flower inspired foods fair, La Trinidad picked up. Chairperson Municipal Agriculturist Fely Ticbaen said that “the trade fair is to showcase different entrepreneurs producing strawberry based products.” Many who participated continued the product that won a Guinness World Record in 2004 when La Trinidad showcased the biggest strawberry shortcake. Different versions had been competed against each other for the best strawberry shortcake since then and some are currently offered at the Strawberry Lane. Normancita Obar also known as Menchi, an entrepreneur of Menchie’s did not only offer cakes but it also produced its unique version of strawberry donuts. One of the sponsors of the activities, she operates her business at home and her cakes can be ordere...

8 degrees Pastries something not to be trifled with

By -

Eight degrees may not be the coldest temperature in Baguio (it was 6.1 recorded in 1961), but it is a place to visit when it comes to pastries and coffee in the City of Pines. A great cafe at the Azalea Residences that uses the local produce like strawberries and carrots for pastry ingredients. In here (like any other cafes) you will encounter strange words like fritzer and trifle.    What in the name of %$#@ is a trifle? As far as I know, the dictionary's description is some sort of a thing of little value or importance. Never thought it has a taste. Well, yes it does and there are even different tastes depending on the ingredients. For the ignorants like me who have no idea what a trifle is, here's wikipedia's description: Trifle is a dessert dish made from thick custard, fruit, sponge cake, fruit juice or jelly, and whipped cream. These ingredients are usually arranged in layers. Now that we're clear on that, where is that trifle that we...

The Sta. Fe Ridge - A walk in the clouds

By -
Image
Benguet is fast becoming the hiking capital of the Philippines and another trekking destination is officially added to its attractions. Just a 35-minute drive and a 2-hour hike from the City of Baguio await this awe-inspiring grassland ready for great adventures. Now being promoted as Mt. Ulap, the Sta. Fe Ridge in Ampucao, Itogon has been a favorite hiking destination to those who know the place. The municipality of Itogon and Barangay Ampucao officially launched Mt. Ulap a dven ture last Saturday, October 31. Reaching Mt. Ulap will take you about 2 to 3 hours trek entering at the Tutumbek woodlands and pass through the vast grasslands of the entire Ridge. Like the more popular Mt. Pulag, in Kabayan, the Sta. Fe Ridge features various characteristics; it has 3 peaks that exhibit diverse landscapes and distinctive rock formations that are great photography subjects. The whole mountain showcases a post-card-perfect scenery. All of the three peaks offer 360-degree vantage...
