First 'Rambak ni Mannalon' kicks off in Luna, Apayao

Luna, Apayao – What is a better way to acknowledge farmers' contribution to society other than to hold a festival for them?

On July 31, the Municipality of Luna officially launched its first-ever ‘Rambak ni Mannalon’ at the BGVJr Memorial Sports Center in Poblacion.

Highlighting the kickoff program was the parade of floats adorned with crops and other raw materials found in the community. There was also the opening of the agro-tourism trade fair that showcases the products of the people of Luna.

During the opening program, Mayor Josephine Bangsil emphasized gratefulness for the many things farmers and residents can boast of and still enjoy in said town, reminding the people of resilience amidst their experience with Super Typhoon Egay which brought havoc and devastation to their crops.

She lauded the work and existence of farmers, saying they are the top contributors to the socioeconomic progress of Luna.

The ‘Rambak ni Mannalon’ will run until August 02, 2023.
