Every year, on the fourth Sunday of April, the people of San Jose City at Nueva Ecija dance through the main street to celebrate the Tanduyong Festival – a colorful, enchanting celebration of the blessing of the harvest of tanduyong, a kind of onion abundant in the area.
Known as the “Onion Capital of the Philippines,” the city is a leading producer of onion, garlic, rice and vegetables. During the festival day itself, the streets are filled with dancers wearing multi-colored native costumes – almost onion-inspired.
