P’gsalabuk is a Subano term that means “togetherness”. In the festival, the City Government of Dipolog aims to showcase the myriad interplay of culture: Muslim, Lumad and the varied and diverse culture of the settlers from all over the Philippines as well as the Spanish, Chinese, American and other Asian culture that have been so meticulously woven and shaped into what is known as the unique Mindanao Tri-people Culture.

The festival will feature street dancing in the main avenue of Dipolog City. This will then culminate in a cultural presentation depicting dances involving the different types if people in Mindanao. The concept is “Unity in diversity among the tri-people” because as the objectives state, it aims to promote peace and harmony among the three people who call Mindanao their home. Literally translated the festival’s title means: “togetherness among three people with diverse culture.” Read More: https://mydipolog.wordpress.com/2012/06/07/pgsalabuk-festival/
