The prior political administration belonged to a clan that earned their millions in cane sugar and pineapple crops, and they also thought it had been appropriate to celebrate that boon in some sort of a event patterned after Cebu’s Sinulog.
Prior to the pineapple crops celebrations, festivals often looked dull and colorless, with the most common and simple parades and floats, capped with a nights eating and drinking with barangay officials. The Pineapple Event introduced street dancing, borrowing Sinulog’s famed drum pulsed beats, and gracious offerings to the Sto. Niño. The existing administration decided goodbye and bid farewell to the past styles of festivals, and declared they should rather celebrate not just its abundance in pineapples and cane, but to be thankful in many other regards as well.
Tugob means “abundant” found in the Visayan regional dialect. The event aims to showcase the 11 products discovered to be abundant gifts to the metropolis namely: steam, normal water, pineapple, sugarcane, cassava, seafood, livestock, coconut, fruit and vegetables, rice, and also sand and gravel. To translate the products said to be so important to the city, thanks is given directly via a festival, and several schools of the metro Ormoc area, have been tapped to depict them all artistically.
Among the highlight of the function is the Ms.Tugob Queen Event. There have been nine crops depicted as fabulous and ravishing females, vying for this year’s Miss Tugob Queen Award. The lass from Western Leyte University was crowned who represents the crop of the sugarcane, and was as well the recipient best in Festival Outfit, Solo Performer and Creative Presentation.
Another highlight of the festival would be the street dancing where it takes part at the key streets each morning. The ultimate dance showdown happens at the open discipline of Ormoc Central School. At the end of which the best dancers win an award for their efforts.
Among others, you will have gun sporting contests sponsored by the YMCA, professional skateboarding from local skateboard enthusiasts, and soccer events from the Ormoc Sports Aficionado groups. The Ormoc Yard Club may also present a yard show, while the Metro Agriculture and Services Business offices will also offer an Aqua and Agriculture Trade show wherein a contest in landscaping and booth exhibits may also be featured.
Addititionally there is the sky diving activity pu on by the Cebu Parachuters Club where in fact the participants will show their skills at the plaza.
The Ormocanons trust that Tugob Festival, if held annually, will eventually turn into a tourist attraction for the city in as famous a brand as Sinulog at Cebu City, and the Masskara Festival held at Bacolod Negros.
Tourists are always welcome to go and enjoy the hospitality of the peoples of Leyte.
