Festival of Gold

Held at Ginintuang Bulwagan, Paracale, Camarines Norte
Every year, from the last week of January to the second day of Febraury, the municipality of Paracale in the province of Camarines Norte, is celebrating their very own festival just like any other places here in the Philippines, the Pabirik Festival. Pabirik Festival is the most awaited festival for every Paracaleño for this is where they can showcase their creativity, talents and culture. This festival is the festival that reflects the gold mining practice of the Paracaleños. But not just because of that… the municipality also hold these week – long event to solemnize the Founding Anniversary and honor their Patron Saint Nuestra Seniora De Candilaria or most popularly called as ” Inay Candi”. The festival is stuffed with variety of activities that the local government have prepared, like the Search for Miss Paracale,the DBC and DLC Competition, and many more. The main event of the festival is the Pabirik Festival itself where the participants are from the different schools in the district. They all come together to compete on the Street Dancing Competition and afterwards exhibits the past culture of Paracale. The history from where the Paracaleños are living peacefully to the invasion of the Pirates and finally, to the sacrifice of Inay Candi that leads to the restoration of the bountiful living of every Paracaleños. Paracale is also open to the merchants from different nations where they are able to trade their products and are located along the roads of Paracale. Pabirik festival is not only for the Paracaleño’s to see and be enjoyed but also for the other visitors from different places with different races who can witness these wonderful event, so on behalf of my fellow Paracaleños , I am inviting you to come and visit the Gold Town of Paracale. This may be over for these year but surely there will be more festivals for the upcoming years.
Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
