Pahiyas Festival is a colorful feast in honor of San Isidro Labrador, the patron saint of farmers, as a thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest for the entire year. This festival showcases a street of houses which are adorned with fruits, vegetables, agricultural products, handicrafts and kiping.
Kiping is a thin sheet of brittle wafer made of rice that comes in different colors. The kiping comes in a leaf-shaped form and different decors are created using it.
Flower made of Kiping
Kiping are not only use for decors, it’s also edible . They can be grilled or fried. Fried kipings are added with sugar and sold for 10 pesos per serving. If your wondering what it taste like, for me it’s tasted like rice crispies. 
Pahiyas is also a great opportunity to buy the famous Lucban Longganisa but because there where lots of people buying it, we weren’t able to bring home longanisang lucban 
We were able to taste the authentic pancit habhab, cooked by my officemate’s mom. (salamat po). Pancit habhab is Lucban’s popular pancit miki guisado that is usually eaten on a piece of banana leaf. However, ours was on a plate.
There was a sagala in the afternoon. The people was so thick that I wasn’t able to get a good photos, sorry.
but was able to get photos of these celebrities, hehehe
It was my first time in Pahiyas Festival. I am so overwhelmed at the beauty and festivity. All houses are open to every tourists for photo opps or to partake of the fiesta foods served on the table.
Would love to go back next year.
