Malagnang Festival in Palawan

The word “Malagnang”, in the local dialect literally means "Mud" or "Muddy" which signifies fertile soil that gave life and prosperity to the early settlers of the town.

Malagnang Festivity is said to be a bizarre celebration among other festivals in the Philippines because it honors not a particular local delicacy or culture, but an earthly thing called mud.

Natives of San Vicente see mud as a symbol of humility and austerity that sustains development and economic stability of their town. Another reason for this celebration is the town’s muddy-type soil.

Malagnang Celebration starts as early as the first day of June and culminates in a 3-day non-stop activities on June 19 to 21 in which local residents and visitors take part in various events, competitions, and cultural programs.

All activities and events during this festival underline the symbolic and significant nature of mud to the people of San Vicente, Palawan.
