Basaynon Ka, Hadto Man or Yana

There are definitely a lot of changes that are continously going on. In the past fiestas or mga kadamo were different, compared to how they are celebrated today.
HADTO: an mga tagbalay an nagaandam ngan nagluluto para han patron!
YANA: na hire na hit caterer, or nagpapacater na!

HADTO: gin lalabhan nga gin armidol it mga mantel para paggamit hit lamisa
YANA: nagpapaskirting na!

times have definitely changed, but one thing is for sure, the spirit of celebrating times like patrons or fiesta are still being followed even until today, honoring the feast of St. Michael the Archangel.

Although many of us have moved outside of Basay or have found a new home here in the US or Canada, we continue to follow the tradition. The fiesta in the Philippines may not be held at an ancestral home (like how many celebrate it back in Basey), or there may not be a fair to go to, or lega ha basketball court kada kulop, irignum with the barkada, lechon for everyone to feast one... but we definitely strive and make the most of creating the same festive atmosphere here in the US & Canada.

Definitely make the most of things, and keep that festive passion with you, kay Basaynon ka, HADTO man or YANA!
