The drums beat, the sun flared, the crowd gathered and the dancers marched forward with their fancy, shiny festival dresses glinting in the hot afternoon light of Dipolog City. Zamboanga del Norte’s Hudyaka Festival commenced!

Hudyaka which means revelry in Bisaya is an annual festival that is attended by contingents from the whole Zamboanga del Norte province. The festival celebrates the founding of the province and the cities and municipalities of Zamboanga del Norte usually send in contingents to compete.

With prizes in six figures, there’s no reason for them not to. The festival is now on its 8th year and is hosted in rotation by the towns of Zamboanga del Norte. This year, it’s Dipolog City’s turn to host the Hudyaka Zanorte and we were lucky to be invited to witness the festivities.

The highlight of Hudyaka Festival is to showcase the extreme cultural talents of the people from Zamboanga Del Norte. It is undoubtedly the unique event in  which every Filipinos should be proud of. The finale of the event  is called the Hudyaka Zanorte Street Dance Parade in which we were excited about witnessing. Hudyaka is an old dialect which simply means “moments of Merry making”. Originally initiated by Governor Rolando Yebes and started in 2005 and almost a month-long celebration that focuses on educational and sports activities, live gala festival shows, music and art competition and a grand fireworks display show. Read More:  http://www.juanderfulpinoy.com/hudyaka-zanorte-street-parade/
