Let's Celebrate it Together: FIESTA

Fiesta is always fun and a happy moment of each Filipinos. Well, it is because fiesta is part of a Filipino Tradition. Every cities or province, they always celebrate their cities anniversary, which is called fiesta. Parades of mascots, dancing in streets and joining their games are just few of the special highlights of FIESTA. The most important is the "handaan" of each house of the town. Handaan means party. Handaan is one reason that each person can get to know each other or old friends will having the little reunion. Part of handaan is the pulutan. Pulutan is the partner in crime of BEER. Men always have to make pulutan for their own party. While they drink and talk, they can chew some foods. When I was still in Philippines, during fiesta, I am so excited to make PULUTAN with my uncles. I don't drink at all but I find pulutan so delicious. Well, there are lots of pulutan that they can make. The original and famous pulutan is SISIG. It made from pig's head. Some of the people especially the tourist find it gross. If some men, don't have money to buy some pig's head or some agreeing food, they can always have dogs. Gross right? Well, they are Filipinos. They eat everything. :D
