LAOAG CITY—Centuries-old tradition “Tumba” highlights Ilocos Norte’s halloween bash, enticing more tourists to visit up north.Like in the previous years, the town’s 10 districts representing its 31 villages come together at the heritage town plaza to build makeshift huts usually made of bamboo and other indigenous materials where they place their atang for those who have departed.
The offerings at the altar include eggs, famous Ilokano cuisines, homemade alcoholic beverages, rolled tobacco and even betel-nut chews. Guerrero said that “while the town is famed for its rare Mardi Gras celebration called Guling-Guling, another unique ritual held every Nov. 1 called Tumba is less known.”“While there are no records to show when or why it started, Tumba is largely believed among locals to be at least 200 years old,” he said.
