From the words, “niyog” and ”yugyog,” the Niyogyugan Festival combines all the colourful fiestas of Quezon Province like the “Pahiyas” of Lucban, “Arana’t Baluarte” of Gumaca, “Tagultol” of Atimonan, “Maubanog” of Mauban and others. A province-wide celebration that celebrates the “Tree of Life,” Niyogyugan pays tribute to the coconut industry’s glorious past, which bore fruit in the form of lambanog distilleries, oil millers, heritage houses, and the vast resort-plantations. NIYOGYUGAN FESTIVAL was created to move, shake and bring back the vigor and dynamism of the industry and to promote the products, places, the talent and creativity of Quezonians.

I don't have my DSLR with me, so the photos above were captured using a not so expensive action camera. This Niyogyugan Festival performance was part of the Aliwan Fiesta 2017 held at the Quirino Grandstand, Manila. Their queen got the Missing Photogenic award and one of the Second Runners Up for Reyna ng Aliwan.
