It is good to know that the Adivay festival in Benguet is more for the iBenguet themselves. While I see the importance of festivals in trying to attract tourists in our region (as Panagbenga has successfully done), I would hope that this is not the only reason why we hold festivals. It would be a sad day indeed if we have festivals merely because we want tourists to come gawk at us. Thanks again and we hope you continue to drop by. Hi Ivadoyak,

At least it was a n invented festival but truly owned by the Benguet people, even if Congressman Domogan had to do the invocation for the iBenguet during the first Adivay, something i didn't quite get.
