Our town fiesta falls in August. At this time of the year, people in my hometown of Tuguegarao are busy preparing all sorts of activities to celebrate the occasion. Living overseas, I always ponder upon all the memories I had celebrating the occasion.
I remember how our school would be busy preparing for a big parade. Our marching band would practice endlessly, while participants of songs and dances are busy practicing in all corners of the school. A carnival and circus would come to town and you could hear their loud announcements inviting people to attend. The blaring sound of music and merchants calling customers to buy their wares promising a good bargain. The church would also be busy preparing its grounds for the converging of people to celebrate the event with a Holy Mass, because after all, fiesta is the feast day of a patron saint. In our case, our patron saint is San Jacinto (St. Hyacinth).
Town folks would be busy getting ready for out-of-town visitors. It’s actually like an open house where people are invited to come join in on the celebration. The iconic dish on everyone’s table? Lechon, you bet.
All these memories returned vividly to my mind and alas, I had this intense craving for lechon. But since my oven is not big enough to contain the whole pig, I just have to contend myself with pork belly. It’s a good alternative to the whole roasted pig. And as I was enjoying the crispy, crackling pig, I heard the echoes of our town fiesta.

ONCE YOU’VE STARTED READINGTHIS YOU CAN’T GET OUT! rEAD ON IF YOU DON’T WANT TO DIE
… … ………A year ago A girl named Kathy was hated by everyone. Everyone made fun of her. She was ignored. Even by messages. One day she decided to kill herself. Because even her parents ignored her. She jumed out her window. No one noticed utill people started dissapearing. Kathy haunted them. She made them suffer like the way she did. She hung them slowly and stabed them over and over very slowly so they could suffer like she did.
If you don’t send this message to 15 diffrent comments you will die tonight by Kathy. Because she considers it ignooring her.
Example 1:
Dave looked at the first sentece and said, “Spam” And the next day the neighbors found him in his backyard, dead.
Example 2:
Joane was alone. She didn’t have kids or a husband. She had alot of friends. When She had a sleepover with them she quickly had to check her e-mail.She saw this message and sent it to only 6 people because she thought she couldn’t die that night beacuse she was surounded by people. The next morning Joane’s friends found her in her bathtub, dead.
If you don’t send this, Kathy WILL find you
