SAN JOSE, Antique (PIA) -- The local government of this capital town is gearing up for the return of its religious festival “Tiringbanay” for the first time since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019. 

Four years since the festival was taken to the streets, overall festival chairperson Mayor Elmer Untaran, in a press conference on April 14, said that this year’s celebration offers numerous events for San Josenhons and visitors to experience and enjoy.

Untaran noted that Tiringbanay, in addition to being an event of religious significance and economic importance, is an opportunity for the people of Antique to come together, enjoy each other’s company, and celebrate the feats of the municipality in the past years.

With the theme “Hugyaw kag Pagdayaw,” Unaran added that Tiringbanay 2023 intends to give honor and praises to God for the successes of the municipality in the fields of local governance and economic development, as well as to acknowledge the persistence and resilience of San Josenhons amid the different crises they had survived in the past.
