tinagbaNestled south of Pili, capital town of Camarines Sur, Iriga City is a thriving commercial and agricultural center in the Rinconada district of the province. It is the birthplace of Nora Aunor, the country’s first and only entertainment superstar and other movie stars like Zaldy Zhornack and Jaime Fabregas. It is also the hometown of Justice Secretary Leila de Lima.

Recently, Iriga held the annual Tinagba Festival, also hosting the “Festival of Festivals Showdown” that saw the best of the Bicol region’s festivals in a street dancing competition.

RIGA CITY – City government officials, led by Mayor Madelaine Alfelor-Gazmen, conducted early this week an on-site inspection of a digging site in barangay Sta. Teresita here. A pit, estimated to have already reached a depth the equivalent of a four-storey building and which has two forked tunnels, is believed to be for treasure hunting.

IRIGA CITY – Mt. Iriga is an active volcano and if it is going to erupt, it will not be without warning signs, a Philvolcs volcanologist said here on Monday (March 28, 2011). “There will be indicators, like changes in the surrounding vegetation, or the edifice of the mountain. People will notice. We assure that if it is going to erupt, it will not be undetected,” said Eduardo P. Laguerta, resident volcanologist of the Philvolcs based at the Mayon Volcano Station in Legazpi City.

Bicolano legend tells of a people who lived under the shadow of a mighty mountain where the gods were said to reside. Here they spent their years giving birth, nurturing, planting, harvesting, dying. They endured the elements, fought wars against neighboring tribes, and survived the challenges of a pre-historic existence. But a time came when, no matter how hard they labored and toiled, the land refused to yield its fruit. The sun burned and the dry ground cracked under its glare. In desperation, the people begged the gods for mercy.

TINAGBA FESTIVAL

A tradition of the first harvest offering coinciding on the feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes. Derived from the early rituals of the ancient Bicolanos offering their harvest to their own gods as a form of thanksgiving and to seek favor for a more bountiful harvest throughout the year. A long parade of colorfully and grandiosely decorated bull and carabao carts, carrying newly harvested crops, ending with a mass before the Emerald Grotto at Calvary Hills. Here all the offerings are blessed, then distributed to indigent families.
