A SCARECROW is a human-like figure that guards crops from marauding birds, and is usually made of sticks and old clothes stuffed with straw, held up by a frame over a field — and can be a farmer’s best friend. The province of Isabela celebrates these farmer’s helpers — known in the province as bambanti — with a festival every fourth week of January.
During the street dance parade and dance showdown, performers from 25 contingents delighted the audience at the Isabela Sports Complex with their energetic moves. Halfway through the dance showdown, the official Guinness World Record adjudicator Paulina Sapinska confirmed achievement of a new world record and awarded a certificate to the governor and vice-governor.
The municipality of Alicia bagged first prize for Best Street Dance Contingent, while the municipality of Echague bagged first prize for the Best Dance Showdown Contingent.

At the Makan Ken Mainum (food and drink) contest, 28 contingents were tasked to innovate their own longganisa (sausage) dish. The cooking contest is an initiative of the governor’s wife, Mary Ann Arcega-Dy, through the Isabela Green Ladies Organization, to give opportunity for the various groups to explore their creativity in preparing dishes using ingredients and produce from their own towns.
