Police officers of the Mountain Province Police Provincial Office (PPO) joined residents of Montañosa to celebrate the “Lang-ay on the Street” held in Bontoc, Mtn. Province on April 2, 2023.
Mtn. Province PPO’s Pattong Troop performed a cultural dance together with the cultural performers from Saint Vincent High School and Mountain Province State Polytechnic College.
The eleven municipalities of the province and other local businesses set up their booths from the Circle to the junction road section, featuring their distinct indigenous foods and beverages like linapet, patopat, puto, boiled bananas, tapey, and wines.
The event was further made meaningful by the serving of “lang-ay” or “watwat” (meat) for dinner placed on uniformly cut banana trunks (ubbak).
The Lang-ay on the Street was an open feast where everyone was welcome to partake of the food and drink bountifully provided by the sponsors and served by volunteers from the province. This activity was also aimed at promoting camaraderie and brotherhood among the people of Mountain Province with their guests & visitors. **PROCOR-PIO
