Sabangan with
its Gagayam festival coincides with the annual fiesta in honor of the town’s
patron Saint Joseph the Worker. Gagayam as the word connotes refers to a coming
together of friends, of neighbors, of clans, of families, of the members of the
community to enjoy the camaraderie and belonging to each other. So the festival
theme “Sinang -adum ay dinatngan, wanden ta sumyaan” is much emphasized in the
Gagayam festival come March 27-30 this year that the people of Sabangan with neighbors
and friends come together to celebrate the event and a culture that cements
each other for progress, sustainable livelihood and unity.
For one, Sabangan abounds with coffee Arabica and bananas. From its
natural form need processing and packaging when these come in large volumes.
Further technical and capital aid to support peoples’ initiatives and effort is
needed to market quality products. A support that people, community-based
organizations, institutions, and government can collaboratively give.
