Clockwise: DOT Regional Director Maritess Castro, Provincial Administrator Atty. Dulce H. Rebanal and PIO head Christopher R. SanjiCELEBRATING its bountiful harvest, Laguna started to observe the Anilag Festival in 2004 during the gubernatorial term of Teresita S. Lazaro. Its name, however, was changed to La Laguna Festival, the so-called Festival of Life, under the tenure of Emilio Ramon Ejercito III in 2011.
“Last year, we already had plans for Anilag. But it was again suspended because of pandemic, and we didn’t want to sacrifice the safety and the health of our people,” Rebanal recalled. Espousing all things about the province, the theme was anchored on the “Love Laguna” campaign, highlighting the six pillars: Love Adventure, Nature, People, Shopping, Culture and Food.
Since Laguna is home to the many must-visit destinations, eventually, some of them are now included in tourism circuits of Southern Tagalog, comprised of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon . Per Department of Tourism Calabarzon Regional Director Marites T. Castro, the city of San Pablo and municipalities of Nagcarlan, Rizal, and Liliw were included in its initial establishment at the onset of Covid-19 in 2020.
