Try pancit habhab, Lucban langgonisa and Buri hats

Don't forget to have a taste of their local food after the Pahiyas festival or after you visit places at Lucban. Pancit habhab on a banana leaf is hard for me to eat though so I decided to have a plate :) You will put vinegar and try to eat without the aid of fork etc. Just put it directly to your mouth like a dog eating.
Lucban langgonisa is another one. They have this taste different from other local langgonisa of the Philippines.

Try to buy a colorful Buri hat for yourself so that you have a sun protection at the same time blends the colorful Pahiyas festival.

Pahiyas Festival

Derived from the local Filipino word “Payas,” which means to decorate.

Held every year on the 15th of May to honor St. Isidore (the patron of farmers, peasants, day laborers, and rural communities)

It's very colorful and I don't mind the heat while taking pictures of those colorful houses.
Actually each household decorates the facade of their house uniquely with colored “kiping” which are made out of grounded rice flour, shaped like leaves. It is colored radiantly in red, pink, green and other bright colors. Fruits,vegetables and other agricultural products are also being used for decorations. I think it is a contest and a big prize awaits the winner

Some other things are the bazaar of their handmade crafts like straw hats that are worn during the festival.

Don't forget to have a taste of their Lucban longganisa and pancit habhab.
