Every year,
Barangay Sta. Ana, with its rich culture and wonderful tradition, is
celebrating the feast of our patroness St. Anne, most commonly known as Sta.
Anang Banak. This is our way of expressing our deepest gratitude
for another abundant and prosperous year, which is an indication of how
religious the people of Sta. Ana are. Centuries ago, people
celebrate it with a River Festival where fishermen would toss portion of their
fishes to the people beside the river, who in return, would toss back native
delicacies, fruits or other products towards the fishermen’s boat.
Last year,
collaborating with our Sta. Ana Chapel and some private individuals who showed
their support, we celebrated the BANAK FESTIVAL 2011, a 9-day long festivity
filled with worthwhile endeavors. Cooking competition, fun run,
photo journalism contest, clean up drives and street dance were only some of
activities that brought enjoyment to our ka-Barangays.
This
year, we are planning to have it bigger than what we had during the
previous. In line with the Department of Tourism’s Campaign,
It’s More Fun in the Philippines, this year’s theme will be “BANAK FESTIVAL 2012: Mas Masaya sa Sta. Ana!” This will be on July 18 – 28, 2012 at various areas
and activity halls within the Barangay.
