The term " sunduan" (pronounced as -> soon - doo- an) literally means "to fetch). It is a yearly tradition usually held during barrio fiesta (usually in La Huerta and San Dionisio). It is a parade/procession of pair of men and women from the barrio. Women are cladded in traditional stylish gowns and men are in "jusi" or "pina" barong tagalog. Local marching band tags along at the end of the procession to render music to the lovely pairs. The procession starts from the house of the hermano/hermana mayor where in all the male participants are waiting. The procession will pass by at the houses of the female where they will be fetched by their male escorts who are carrying a beatifully decorated umbrella. When all the female participants are fetched, they will parade around the barrio. Even balik-bayans from these barrios go home just to participate in this tradition. Sometimes movie stars and government officials are also invited to join this traditional procession/parade. Last May 6, a "sunduan" was held in our barrio (Don Galo) in commemoration of the feast day of Sta. Monica. One of our local actor, Jomari Yllana and actress (running for city councilor) Roselle Nava graced the occasion.
