    PASALAMAT: A COLORFUL CELEBRATION AT THE HOME OF THE OLDEST

    SUGAR MILLS IN NEGROS OCCIDENTAL

    La Carlota City, located in the southwestern portion of Negros Occidental, is

    home to the oldest sugar mills in the province. Majority of the land area is dedicated to

    agriculture. The Pasalamat Festival is one of the grandest celebrations of La Carlota

    City, Negros Occidental. From the name of the festival, pasalamat, it is the

    townspeoples annual thanksgiving celebration set every last Sunday of the month of

    April. The festival is an age-old ritual of the people of La Carlota thanking and giving

    gifts to the agriculture god believed to live inside the volcano, Kanlaon. Now, through

    the festival, it brings the people of La Carlota together thanking the God Almighty for all

    the blessings received, giving them hope in spite of struggles and the gift of life. One of

    the main attractions of the festival is the street dancing competition where everyone can

    dance to the original Pasalamat Samba beat played live by the Pasalamat drumbeaters.
    The rhythmic beat of the percussions, will surely make you sway your hips, thud and

    stomp your feet. Multi-colored costumes made from home-grown resources worn by the

    merrymakers also attract tourists.

    Tarsier Sanctuary

    The Philippine tarsier, (Tarsius syrichta or Carlito syrichta) is a very peculiar

    small animal. In fact, it is one of the smallest known primates, no larger than an adult

    men's hand. Mostly active at night, it lives on a diet of insects. Folk traditions sometimes

    have it that tarsiers eat charcoal, but actually, they retrieve the insects from (sometimes

    burned) wood. It can be found on the islands of Samar, Leyte, Bohol, and Mindanao in

    the Philippines. In Bohol, deep in the secondary growth forest foothill of Corella town, in

    the interior part of Bohol, is an institution dedicated to the preservation and scientific

    researches on the endemic tarsier of Bohol. When I had the chance to visit the tarsier

    sanctuary, I have observed that the area of the sanctuary is not that big and the

    surroundings are very quiet since this animal is very sensitive and have a lot of anxiety

    and might commit suicide. This sanctuary is one of the most visited tourist spots in

    Bohol. As a tourist, my recommendation is, the place should be extended so that the

    tourists would have a greater area to roam with. And on the entrance side, I recommend

    that they should put benches there for the tourists so that they could have rest and time

    to enjoy the view in the sanctuary. Rules inside the sanctuary should be strictly

    regulated and implemented to achieve the goal of preserving the wildlife.
