May 15th marks that time of the year when people in Lucban
decorate their houses with different-colored products in an almost
competitive manner. Pahiyas Festival is one of the most amazing
harvest celebrations of the Philippines and the annual festival is
dedicated to the patron saint of peasants and farmers, Isidore the
Farm Labourer. The name of the festival comes from the word ˜payas,'
which means to decorate. During the festival, farmers show their great
agricultural produce: radish, pepper, and rice. There is no other
festival like Pahiyas in the Philippines! It's definitely a
one-of-a-kind festival worth visiting.Read more about this event by
