HISTORY OF PAKPAK SA KABANTUGAN IN PANAY, VISAYAS 🎶

Pakpak sa Kabantugan—aptly translated as Wings to Fame—is widely recognized as the Visayas’ longest-running amateur singing competition. It formally commenced on the evening of July 1, 1972, and culminated in its grand finale during the Kahilwayan and Religious Fiesta in October of the same year. The inaugural 1972 title was won by Mr. Hermando Montilla, who etched his name into the competition’s distinguished history

The initiative was conceptualized by then Culasi Vice Mayor Bartolome Rizada Toboso during what is regarded as the golden era of cultural tourism, under the leadership of former Mayor Flaviano Cadiao Mosquera. Envisioned as a platform to elevate local talent, the program was designed to celebrate Culasiños—from the uplands to the lowlands and the islands—highlighting the municipality’s rich cultural diversity and artistic spirit

By 1977, the competition—fondly known to locals simply as Pakpak—was integrated into Culasi’s Foundation Day Fiesta celebrations. It traditionally began on Saturdays in January and culminated during the town’s fiesta proper in February–March. In later years, the event became jointly celebrated as one of the major cultural highlights of the Madja-as Festival and Foundation Day, further strengthening its role in the municipality’s annual festival calendar

For more than five decades, has remained steadfast in its mission to discover, nurture, and showcase aspiring vocal talents across Western Visayas. In recent years, the singing competition has continued to draw amateur singers from Aklan, Antique, Capiz, and Iloilo, as well as from Boracay and Guimaras—affirming its enduring legacy as a cornerstone of regional cultural and artistic development

⛰ The Madja-as Festival, named after Mount Madja-as—the second highest mountain in the Visayas—pays tribute to the region’s rich cultural heritage. In harmony with this iconic symbol, the competition 🎤 stands as an enduring cultural institution, undeniably recognized as the longest-running amateur singing competition in the Visayas, and a proud testament to Culasi's commitment to arts, culture, and tourism development

Pakpak sa Kabantugan since 1972 💛

BITADTON KAG NABA… akun lugar 🌿

A place that can truly be called where the mountain meets the sea (nagakitaay bukid kag baybay)

Located along the northern coastline of Culasi, Antique, the communities of Bitadton and Naba feature natural charm set in a peaceful rural environment. The two barangays are separated by the Paningayan River, often mistakenly referred to as the Bobog River, and are framed by the commanding presence of Nalipao Hill

From this vantage point, visitors can also view Lipata Point—locally known as
▪︎ Dawis Lipata, or
▪︎ Punta Lipata—
a small peninsula that offers serene coastal scenery and serves as a safe harbor for fishing vessels during storms

To the south of the river lie the sitios of Bobog and Moroboro under Barangay Naba, while Baringyao, a sitio of Barangay Bitadton Sur, sits to the north. Each area provides a picturesque countryside, where rice fields stretch across the landscape

This month, Barangay Bitadton Sur celebrates its annual fiesta, inviting guests and tumanduks to experience its decades-long traditions
