Lucban, Quezon
Celebrated every 15th of May, this festival is an event of the Lucban community in honor of San Isidro
Labrador for good harvest. Kiping is a native delicacy of brightly colored rice dough in thin like wafers in
Lucban and during the festival, front houses of the locality are decorated with it. After the festival, the
kipings are processed to become chips. In the afternoon, a procession is held as the image of the patron
saint is carried all over the town to bless the farmers of good harvest. Started in the 16th century, Pahiyas
is simultaneously celebrated in Tayabas and Sariaya, both towns of Quezon Province.
