Bulang-bulang Festival celebrates its 10th year this 2012.
Bulang-bulang Festival is celebrated every February 2-9. The festival recognizes the game fowl industry of San Enrique.
Bulang-bulang is a local term of what we call "sabong" in Tagalog or "cockfighting" in English. The game fowls are one of the major sources of livelihood of San Enrique.
The festival is the dance representation of the fighting cocks where it portrays its life and character.
