Begnas Festival is a yearly tribal festival of the province usually held during the months of October or November.

There is a saying that says, eating with own hands makes the foods more delicious and tastier.

The Begnas Ylocos Festival of the province of Ilocos Sur showcases the traditions and customary practice like the dancing tadek, singing salidummay, playing abistong and drumming the gongs as part of the one day program.

Yes, everyone ate with their hands and using the banana leaf sheath as the plate.  Read More:  https://saluyot.wordpress.com/tag/begnas-festival/
