About - Yagyag Festival's History
The Yagyag Festival in Sibulan is based on the spawning ritual performed by the thousands of land crabs such as the "Cagang" and "Alalasan" along the shores and river banks of Barangay Cangmating during the last quarter of the year.
The Phenomenon alerts the barrio folks to prepare their covered bamboo baskets(bakat), torches made of dried coconuts leaves(sulo), and bamboo crab traps(pasgong) to move out to the spawning grounds to gather the crabs.
This offers a livelihood income for the barrio folks as they can exchange or barter it with farm crops from neighboring barangays, aside from these, it also provides delicious scrumptious meals in respective homes.
