Tawo-Tawo Festival
Bawayan, Oriental Negros
December 21
In the past, Bayawan has always been known as the “Rice Granary of Negros Southâ€. Her vast plains have seen glorious days of prolific rice harvest. Today, Bayawan City is known as the Agricultural Capital of the province of Negros Oriental. As an agricultural city, a better production yield is always anticipated, and the presence of the “Tawo-Tawo†or scarecrow had always been a great help to the farmers for several decades. This farmer’s creation (others call it ingenuity) has resulted to achieve bountiful yield during harvest – for the “Tawo-Tawo†had been known to be an effective great scare to drive away the pesky little birds – the natives call “Maya†that feed on the ripening golden rice grains. Thus, the birth of the “Tawo-Tawo Festivalâ€.
