After a three-year pause due to pandemic restrictions, the annual Mango Festival in Zambales went full blast recently with the revival of crowd-drawing activities, including the grand float parade. /PDI
Street dancers clad in mango-inspired costumes performed their best moves to impress judges and spectators who traveled to this Central Luzon province to witness the celebration. The street dancing competition was the highlight of the revelry that lasted for two weeks to boost the local mango industry, which took the spotlight in 1995 when the Guinness Book of World Records cited mangoes grown here, especially the carabao or “dinamulag” variety, as the world’s sweetest.
“Indeed, this year’s festival created a stronger bond among various sectors in terms of planning and implementing activities and programs that require a whole-of-community approach,” Gov. Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. said in a statement on Tuesday.
