MY HOMETOWN

I'm Cathrina Jhane G. Polero and I'm 18, I would like to share with you my hometown which is in Carigara Leyte, Carigara is my favorite place coz my hometown such many spotted which is Boulevard ,

boulevard is the spotted place and beautiful here in carigara. Most people want to go there in that place coz even in night they celebrate or eat street foods with their family and friends.

Most people want to choose to learn are culture's, tradition and history's and I realize how important to know knowledge is to make our town stuable and convenient life.

And this is some famous and spotted here in My Hometown in Carigara is...

The Turugpo Ha Camansi

This is an annual festival of animal jousts that features water buffalos or “carabaos” fighting (locally called pasungay) and horse fights (locally known as paaway). Thousands of spectators, including local and foreign tourists, watch this activity in awe as the carabaos lock horns and try to push one another until one of them gives up and flee from the pursuing winner. Unlike the original turugpo in the past, the paaway has been included in the festival over the recent years, and this involves two stallions, or male horses, kicking or biting each other to submission in front of a mare, or a female horse, which is displayed purposely to trigger the fight. Some people in the crowd were reportedly hurt with minor injuries, but this is a usual occurrence in the event when they breach the security line to get a closer look at the fighting animals.

The Carambola

This attraction also takes place during the turugpo and is a different kind of cockfighting, where tourists and residents place their bets on any of the 10 cocks that are let loose to fight simultaneously in a makeshift arena. While the losing owners tend to their wounded fighting cock, the winning cock is the one left standing.

Now that you know some places that are worth visiting in Carigara, you can start making your itinerary for your holiday in this wonderful but humble place in My Hometown. Enjoy your trip and stay safe!
