00:00The problem with the wind, back in the days of Porak Pampanga,
00:03is now considered a blessing.
00:05And in the first instance, they called it the blessing of the wind.
00:09That is the true story of Jem and Sinas.
00:11Jem?
00:15Mga Pabengi, Kuya Kim, and let's go to Porak Pampanga
00:20to witness their first ever A-Blast-Ningbalas Festival
00:24aside from their rich sand industry.
00:26We also witnessed the talent and culture of the Porakenyo.
00:31And the news here in Porak Pampanga.
00:35Happy and full of hope,
00:37this is how the Porak Pampanga people called their first ever A-Blast-Ningbalas Festival.
00:43In a cultural performance,
00:44the participants showed their rich culture and colorful province.
00:50The A-Blast-Ningala in a Kapampangan phrase
00:52means the blessing of the wind.
00:55Porak is one of the municipalities in Pampanga
00:58that was almost completely destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991.
01:02The problem with the wind back then
01:04is now considered a blessing by the people of Porak
01:06because it is now giving them a livelihood.
01:09It's a celebration of our local culture,
01:13our sand industry, and our artistic talents.
01:16This is a platform for us to let the public know
01:22that Porak has this kind of wealth.
01:26Porak is also known for their sand trail adventures.
01:29That is why this festival is divided into 4x4 vehicles.
01:35Aside from the decorated track show that is used to carry the sand,
01:38the RC Rock Rollers are also known for their cuteness.
01:42The feeling of building a project rig is different.
01:46Of course, it is relaxing.
01:48First, this is an outlet.
01:50We can connect this to our work and problems.
01:55In this kind of entertainment,
01:56food and trade fairs are also a must
01:58where the products of the ITA community
02:01and some of the young artists' masterpieces are displayed.
02:04This is the place where they used to ask for help.
02:07Now, they are very grateful.
02:14Brother Kim, the celebration is still going on.
02:17The people here are waiting for the hot air balloon.
02:20It's already here, but there are more things to do here
02:23like a free concert.
02:25Later, there will be a fireworks display.
02:28Live from Porak, Pampanga,
02:31I am JM Mencinas, and that's the story of...
02:37Thank you very much and happy weekend, JM.
02:47Thank you very much.
