Memories: Ala Eh Festival


Who would forget the most celebrated festival in Batangas during the time when Congresswoman Vilma Santos-Recto was the Governor of Batangas?
Ala Eh Festival with tagline "All Here... So Near" was considered as the mother of all festivals in Batangas. It was no doubt the most grandiose festival in Batangas celebrated every first week of December along with Batangas Foundation Day. The festival was being participated by 32 municipalities and 3 cities of Batangas and every year a city or municipality was being chosen to host the event.
Lipa City hosted the event in 2010 followed by Calaca, Tanauan, Batangas City, Sto Tomas etc until it was discontinued by the current provincial administration.
During the week long festival, cities and municipalities were participating and competing in different activities like street dancing, "parol" making, trade fair, beauty pageant, and more highlighting the culture, tradition, and local festival of each towns in Batangas.
