Sugbo Festival is celebrated by the seven barangays of Hitoma in Caramoran that produces sugbo or tiger grass, a bamboo-like perennial grass used to make brooms. Celebrated every month of May coinciding with the Hitoma barangay fiesta, it is being institutionalized with the support of the provincial government, LGU of Caramoran and national line agencies to promote the commercial development of the local lasa or tiger grass industry and to create signature products from tiger grass. – Read More: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catanduanes

Sugbo festival painted a clear picture of how agri-business trends work for the marginalized farming sector. For example, the street drama has shaped a significant niche in the province. Others went on to stage their own mini-festivals that were basically attuned to their agri-business endeavors.

Come every month of October then, the scenario had drastically evolved into a sort of “product-tourism focused” parade. It became the theme of the culminating festival–the Catandungan Festival, which marks the province’s foundation anniversary. It highlights all the eleven municipalities’ best crops and tourism prowess staged in a diorama of artful street presentations.
