SAROK FESTIVAL

Sarok Festival (Consolacion)

There is change in the air at consolacion, and Happy Velasco discovers what is new at the Sarok Festival.

Valentine’s Day for the people of Consolacion is celebrated with more than just love. They had a doubly eventful date as the town gathered to celebrate their 91st founding anniversary, dubbed as “Adlaw sa Consolacion” with the staging of the Sarok Festival.

Named after a kind of hat made from bamboo strips and dried banana leaves used by locals and commonly used by farmers to protect themselves
from the rain and heat of the sun, sarok-making is also the main livelihood of Brgy. Tolotolo.
