LAGAWE, Ifugao-With the theme, "Kulpi . . . . . Pun-o-o-haan ta waday linggop ya kiphodan di nunboblayan (Unity for peace and progress)," people here will gather at the town center on April 27-29 for the “Kulpi ad Lagawe” to take a rest after the harvest season and to offer thanksgiving to Maknongan (God) for all the blessings bestowed upon this municipality.
Mayor Ceasario Cabbigat encouraged every Lagawean to join in working for a successful community festival. “Like in the early days of our forebears, we celebrate the tradition of “kulpi” with good will and sincerest prayers that the hard work and endeavors of people in our community may be blessed by Maknongan that more may share in our good fortune as a developing community,” he said.
The three days festival will showcase the best facets of the evolving culture. Cabbigat conveyed the message of hope that whatever the gains and developments established as a team in the community during his administration may continue, notwithstanding changes that are bound to happen.
On the other hand, Vice Mayor Martin Habawel said that the theme is very appropriate and relevant in the current conditions of the time. “The political and economic upheaval in the other countries is causing a vicious repercussion to other countries like ours that has an economy that is relying on it,” he said.
Moreover, Habawel said that with the blessings of the municipality such as the rich natural resources, an able populace and a rich cultural heritage, he believes that the municipality is capable to face the challenges of the times.
“The continuity of our unity and cooperation is really the essential element for achieving peace and progress of a certain community,” Habawel said. The common aspiration for a progressive Lagawe can be achieved by our individual’s commitment to do our own part as a vital member of the municipality,he added.
He disclosed that the participation of everybody in the various programs and activities of the Kulpi is a manifestation that the people here care for the municipality. He therefore urged everyone to let the essence of the kulpi reign in every citizen here which will serve as energy to propel everyone to a better and progressive town. (VDB-PIA CAR,Ifugao)
