    The Hermosa Festival also known as Zamboanga La Hermosa Festival or popularly known as Fiesta
    Pilar a month-long festival held each year in the city of Zamboanga,[1] the city center of Zamboanga Peninsula
    Region in the Philippines. It is one of the Oldest Festival in the Country and the most awaited Event in the

    The Festival is being held in honor of the miraculous image of Our Lady of the Pillar (Spanish and
    Chavacano: Nuestra Señora del Pilar), the patroness of Zamboanga City which is held in every 12 October. It is
    also the patroness of Zaragoza in Spain, the sister city of Zamboanga in Philippines.[2]
    In the Spanish Era, Zamboanga was an integral part of Spanish Colonization. In 1635, the Spaniards built a
    fort in Zamboanga named ‘Real Fuerza de San Jose in Brgy. Zone IV area to secure them against the attacks
    of the moro warriors. Spaniards held the city as a seat of government and became the cultural center of the
    south, and was deeply seated in Hispanic heritage and tradition.The Zamboanga La Hermosa
    Festival embedded in Zamboanga’s rich history of devotion to the Nuestra Señora del Pilar that is
    supplemented by rich legends.
    In 1734, The Lady’s was brought to the fort as a front piece for the main entrance. The western side of the
    fort was converted into a shrine for The Lady when the fort was rebuild in 1860 and the fort was
    renamed Real Fuerza de Nuestra Señora Virgen del Pilar and some also called the fort as Real Fuerza de
    Nuestra Señora Virgen del Pilar de Zaragoza because of the same name of the Basilica in Zaragoza, Spain.[3]
    The city’s devotion to the Lady of Pilar was legendary, because of the wealth of stories, miracles, and
    apparitions surrounding the virgin for the past few years in the city as people what believed.[4]

    PISTA NG LANZONES / LANZONES FESTIVAL

    Ang Lansones Festival ay isang taunang selebrasyon ng pasasalamat dahil sa masaganang


    ani sa Isla ng Camiguin. Ang bayan ng Mambajao ang nagdiriwang nito tuwing ikatlong linggo
    ng Oktubre, sa panahon nang pag-ani sa prutas na lanzones.

    Lanzones sa Camiguin

    Ang lanzones ay isa sa mga tropikal na prutas na matatagpuan sa gitnang-hilagang


    baybayin ng Mindanao. Ang prutas na ito ay may kulay na pale brown at ang laman naman ay
    translucent. Nahihinog ang lanzones tuwing ikatlong linggo ng Oktubre.
    Ang Camiguin ay isa sa pinakamalaking pinanggagalingan ng lanzones sa Pilipinas, at
    ang prutas na ito ay ang kanilang pangunahing kabuhayan at pinakamahalagang industriya.
    Sinasabing ang pinakamatamis na lanzones sa Pilipinas ay nagmumula sa Camiguin.

    Selebrasyon

    Ang mga lokal na mamamayan ng Mambajao, Camiguin at mga turista ay nagsasaya sa


    isang linggong selebrasyon na may iba’t ibang aktibidad na nagpapakita ng yaman ng kultura ng
    Camiguin. Kontribusyon na rin ito ng mga mamamayan upang makilala ang Mindanao bilang
    isang cultural tourism destination. Ilan sa mga ito ay ang sayawan sa kalsada, parada ng
    lanzones, agri-cottage industry products exhibits, at beauty pageant (Mutya ng Buahanan).
    Bukod dito, inaabangan din ang taunang barangay beautification contest, indigenous sports, at
    iba pang pagpapamalas ng lokal na kultura.

    Tuwing pista, ang mga kabahayan, poste, at maging ang mga tao ay nilalagyan ng mga
    palamuting galing sa lanzones.

    Alamat ng selebrasyon

    Pinaniniwalaan na ang selebrasyon ay nagsimula sa isang lokal na alamat tungkol sa


    mag-asawa na humiling na magkaroon ng anak mula sa diwata ng puno ng lanzones.
    Ipinagkaloob ng diwata ang hiling ng mag-asawa at binigyan sila ng isang malusog na batang
    lalaki, ngunit nakalimutang magpasalamat ng dalawa. Isang araw, isang babae ang lumapit sa
    bata habang siya ay naglalaro. Biglang tumumba ang bata at nawalan ng malay. Naisip ng mga
    magulang na ang diwata ang gumawa nito sa bata. Kaya naman nag-alay ng ritwal ang mag-
    asawa upang makipag-ayos sa diwata, at hindi nagtagal ay gumaling na ang bata.

    Sa sumunod na taon, inimbitahan ang mag-asawa sa kabilang baryo para sa isang ritwal
    ng pasasalamat. Mula noon, ang ritwal ay naging isang taunang pista na sa Camiguin. Ito ay
    ginagawa upang alalahanin ang mga seremonya na ginawa ng kanilang mga ninuno sa isla para
    sa mga diyos na nagbibigay ng magandang panahon at masaganang ani.

    F’lomolok Festival in Polomolok


    The name Polomolok was derived from the B’laan term “FLOMLOK’ which means hunting grounds. In the
    early years, the place where the Poblacion is presently situated was known for its abundance of wild life.
    There were no roads and the lowlanders befriended the B’laan highlanders and utilized them as guides.
    Aside from a rich hunting ground, Polomolok had so many creeks with free flowing water coming from the
    hillsides. Those cool and clear flowing water encouraged foreigners to settle in this place.

    The people of Polomolok celebrate this by showcasing the local products and a mix of socio-cultural
    activities. Home to one of the world’s largest pineapple plantations, Polomolok commemorates its
    foundation from September 2 ndto 16 th with true South Cotabato flair.
    Flomlok Festival is taken from a Blaan tribe which stands for hunting grounds.
