We happily followed the invitation to visit the Municipality of Basay for the Kapaw Festival 2016. The small municipality on the border to Negros Occidental may not be on the list of most visitors, but is certainly worth a trip over a weekend to enjoy the beaches and beautiful nature.
Basay in Negros Oriental is famous for their Kapaw Festival. The festival that celebrates the abundant catch of fish. Kapaw is the local word for “overflowing”. Due to the numerous fishes during their catch, the fish shimmers on top of the sea water for the fishermen of Basay easily to harvest.
After a great performance during the Showdown, the eight contingents had a short lunchbreak before they started at 1:30 pm to parade through the streets of Bayawan City for the Tawo Tawo Festival 2016 Street Dancing competition.

No fiesta without a beauty pageant and of course the municipality of Jimalalud made no difference. The search for Miss Jimalalud 2016 was held in the municipality gym in front of many VIPs including honorable Roel Degamo.
