Buglasan once more

Dumaguete City once again hosts the annual Buglasan Festival which this year happens from Oct. 13 to 29, 2006. The Province of Negros Oriental has always been proud of this celebration having successfully organized this event year after year. This year, the Province has earmarked Php 4.5M to ensure that this year's celebration is nothing less than spectacular.

Buglasan is derived from the word Buglas which means "reeds" in Visayan describing the abundance of this plant in times past. Fifteen towns or local government units will show their wares during this event, displaying the best that their municipalities can offer and vying for the honors and prizes which are most coveted year after year.

Gov. George P. Arnaiz is proud of the tradition which he spawned seven years ago when Negros Oriental Province celebrated the First Buglasan Festival. This event has proven to be an enlivening addition to the many tourist-drawing events which Dumaguete City is known for and this includes the crowd-gathering favorite, the Santacruzan in May that never fails to attract the celebrities from Manila.
