Bambanti Festival 2018 parade- Balitok ti Alicia Champion

alitok in Ilocano means gold, from which the festival Balitok ti Alicia drew inspiration as they gratefully celebrate the golden era of the town of Alicia, Isabela. Being one of the prime palay producers of the province, the festival honors rice as the golden grains that helped this humble town, formerly called Angadanan Viejo, to become a prominent business hub in Central Isabela. It shows how its hardworking people put their heart in the tedious, muscle numbing work in the fields for the golden grains to be served on the tables for the whole year.
