00:00We Filipinos really love to have fun whenever we have something to be thankful for
00:07and we go through it in a proud way.
00:12That's why on the left and right are the festivals that take place anywhere in the Philippines.
00:18One of them is the Pagnahian Festival in Bingawan, Iloilo.
00:24Let's find out about the activities that take place on this festival
00:28and get to know the municipality of Bingawan better.
00:41Have you been to the town of Bingawan in Iloilo?
00:45This is a municipality in the heart of Panay Island
00:49that you can visit if you want a quiet and relaxing vacation.
00:55The municipality of Bingawan is a very young municipality.
01:01It was established in June 21, 1969.
01:07The best time to visit here is every June
01:10along with the founding anniversary of Bingawan and Pagnahian Festival
01:16which is the biggest celebration in the town.
01:20Based on our history, there was a fire in the community.
01:26So all the houses were destroyed.
01:33That's why the word Pagnahian was coined.
01:41One of the activities on this festival is the Search for Miss Pagnahian.
01:50Miss Pagnahian!
01:54Happy Anniversary to Miss Pagnahian!
01:59It is also the place where traditional Filipino games are played.
02:10LGU also invites bands and artists from Manila to perform.
02:21Donggaon na Bingawan was also established
02:26where the local government introduced some of the famous Bingawan
02:32who made their name in their area.
02:35These are just a few of the things you can experience if you visit this town.
02:41We celebrated the festival to promote cooperation and unity among our people.
02:48We got these traits from our ancestors in LGU.
02:54The five-time national awardee of the Seal of Good Local Governance
03:00given by our national government will be given back to our constituents.
03:05We thank the people of Bingawan for the unity and cooperation they gave.
03:12If you are not a fan of festivities and you prefer a relaxing getaway,
03:17there are organic farms in Bingawan that you can visit.
03:23They also cook local dishes so you can taste their local foods.
03:30LGU supports these farms and other farmers in the town especially when it comes to water issues.
03:37Bingawan actually was identified by LUA as one of the waterless municipalities.
03:42That is the problem here.
03:44My father established SFRs to help our farmers for irrigation of their rice fields.
03:55This is not the only thing that the local government of Bingawan focuses on.
04:00The local government unit does not only depend on the infrastructure, projects, buildings, roads.
04:07But we wanted to invest in human resources because that is the biggest resource that we have.
04:14We can do better through our initiative.
04:19We have programs and innovations for our constituents.
04:24Iloilo has always been known for cuisine and its famous cities.
04:28But there's more to explore in this province.
04:31And Bingawan is one of the beautiful places that you can visit
04:35especially if you want to experience the life of a farm and province.
04:40I would like to invite you to come to Bingawan.
04:44Mark Bingawan as your next destination.
