Where every feast carries a story and every story builds a community 🐷🌴✨

The 𝙏𝘼𝙂 𝘽𝘼𝘽𝙊𝙔 𝙁𝙀𝙎𝙏𝙄𝙑𝘼𝙇 of 𝙎𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤 𝙂𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙖 is a living celebration of heritage and unity in 𝘽𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙖.

It traces its roots to Tag-Baboy Gamay, part of Tag-Baboy Dako in Doña Helene, a name inspired by wild pigs that once roamed freely and shaped the identity of the area.

As the community developed, it became Sitio Glenda, named after a mother figure whose dedication helped guide the growth of the province. Her influence continues to inspire unity and progress among the people.

Now, the festival is brought to life through a boodle fight featuring lechon as the highlight. It is more than a feast. It is a symbol of gratitude, equality, and shared joy.

Known as the “Gatekeeper of Basilisa,” Sitio Glenda stands as a welcoming destination filled with culture, warmth, and pride.

One culture, one table, one proud community of Basilisa 🐷🔥🌿
