The “Pasalamat Festival” is an annual event to highlight the observance of Parochial Fiesta of Saints Patron Senior Sto. Nino every 3^rd Sunday of January introducing different kind of activities that will give color to the celebration like street dancing, regatta, fluvial parade and other variety shows at the city plaza.

“The Proclamation of special non-working day is really needed after this event so that the people’s participation during the weeklong activities will also be compensated through a one day relaxation,” Mayor Samuel S. Co said.
