MisOcc celebrates good harvest, progress with Perangat Festival

 

Subanen cultural heritage is alive and thriving in Misamis Occidental as shown in the second Perangat Festival — the heart of the province's 94th Anniversary Celebration. The Festival is also a thanksgiving event for the abundance of blessings among the Subanen tribe and Misamisnons.


OROQUIETA CITY, Misamis Occidental--Honoring the bountiful harvest and progress of the province and its agro-industrial produce, traditions, and tourist attractions, the province of Misamis Occidental celebrated its colorful culture in the 2nd Perangat Festival 2023 held at Misamis Occidental Provincial Athletic Complex (MOPAC) Grounds, Oroquieta City. 

The Perangat "Pag-asenso" festival featured the Subanen Tribe's traditions, culture, beliefs, and a thanksgiving celebration for the abundance of blessings among the Subanen tribe and Misamisnons.

Perangat Festival could not be possible without the strong leadership of working Governor Henry S. Oaminal with the full support of the provincial and local officials.

As the province celebrates the Perangat Festival, Vice Governor Rowena Guttierez asked for God's guidance and prevent the province from misfortune and calamity.

“Atong hiusahon ang matag usa kanato dinha sa pamilya, barangay, local ug probinsya aron makab-ot nato ang tinud-anay nga diwa sa kalinaw, kaanggayan ug progresibo sa kinatibuk-an alang sa mas paspas nga pagkab-ot sa atong governor,” she shared.

(Let's unite each of us in the family, barangay, local, and province so that we can achieve the true spirit of peace, equality, and progressiveness in general for the faster achievement of our governor)

Despite the challenges of the province, Guitterez shared that the evil acts were intended and done to intimidate the leaders as well as to block and prevent the development of the province.

“With the challenges we are facing today, let's pray together that all of this will be given peace and development despite the assassination attempt of Gov. Henry Oaminal and the death of my late husband Michael Gutierrez," the vice governor said.

Perangat is a Subanen word that depicts the province's tagline towards achieving tourism vibrancy and progress as a whole while at the same time understanding the Subanen tribe's culture and heritage.

This festival serves as a reminder of the Philippines' unique traditions and costumes while also providing an opportunity for cultural exchange and understanding among different communities.
