Another year, another celebration, another fiesta!
August 15 when Maasin celebrates its fiesta as Our Lady of the Assumption as their patron. Aligned with this fiesta are activities before this day came. One of this is the BEC night held on August 6, at the same time, this day is the Opening Salvo. August 7 is the SK/Youth night where in SK/Youth gathered at Maasin City Gym and had a Disco Party there. This is their way of making the SK/Youth mingle with the other youth from different barangays in Maasin. This is every year. Another activity that they held is the concert of The Maestro Ryan Cayabyab with Jimmy Bondoc and Geneva Cruz. During this concert, knowned bands here in Maasin Show also what they got. And August 14, Maasin hosted a Hiphop Dance Showdown at Maasin City Gym wherein group dancers from different part of So. Leyte joined. That was really a great showdown according to my friends who watched and never missed this talent showcases.
Month, I think, before this day came, you can many vendors around the terminal area. There were cheap household utensils, clothes, machine tools and other things that could catch people's attention. There were also what we called here Ukay-ukay. Most people preferred this since there stuffs are durable, branded and cheap(very affordable). This is what make my friends and me almost got no allowance since we always went that area and buy whatever we like. we buy not just for ourselves but for our parents also. Hehehe. Sometimes we agreed not to go to that area so that we won't get tempted with those stuffs. I can say that during those times, we didn't have savings from our allowance. We almost experience money shortage.
When the day came, as always, crowd is always present where ever you turn your head. People of different faces, different races from different places came and witnessed the fiesta celebration. With this, it made me wish that it would always be FIESTA. Hehehe.
Happy Fiesta Maasinhon! Happy Fiesta our Lady of the Assumption. God Bless!
