The Bulawan Festival, an annual celebration of thanksgiving that also showcases ComVal’s culture and tradition and progress, took its name from gold mining. ComVal is located in Mindanao’s “Mineral Corridor” and its robust economy was partly propelled by mineral produce in barangay Mt. Diwata (Diwalwal) and other gold-rich barangays.  Read More:  https://davaocinto.wordpress.com/2016/03/09/compostela-valley-bulawan-festival/

With its vast gold deposits, Davao Region’s Compostela Valley has gained the title “Golden Province.”

But behind the minerals their mountains possess, the province is also home to different tribes practicing culture that share the same value as the bounty they hold.

To show gratitude to God who blessed them with such fortune, the province celebrates with its people through the Bulawan Festival. The festival, which is on its eighth year, is celebrated in the same week of its 20th Founding Anniversary on March 4-8.

Growing green for good governance is the theme for this year’s celebration, giving emphasis on initiating more programs for the environment despite the province’s continued development. Read More: https://www.sunstar.com.ph/article/422481
