Bahag-hari Festival is a colorful celebration highlighted by street dancing, a parade of colorful floats, and a different kind of Moriones Festival. As indicated by an old story, the early pioneers of Pinamalayan originated from Marinduque. While on their approach to Mindoro utilizing their pontoons, they experienced turbulent climate and lost their course. They appealed to God Almighty for deliverance and direction so the climate cleared and a rainbow showed up upcoming. The team yelled ipinamalay signifying “it was made known”. They took after the course of the rainbow and arrived at what is presently Barangay Lumangbayan and built up the principal settlement which they named Pinamalayan.
