Okko AN ORDINANCE INSTITUTIONALIZING THE BONTOC AM-AMONG FESTIVAL AS PART OF THE ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF THE FOUNDING ANNIVERSARY OF THE MUNICIPALITY. Whereas, during the past celebration of the Municipality's founding anniversary, a festival informally known as "Am-among Festival” had been consistently included as part thereof and as its centerpiece attraction; Whereas, the term "Am-among “pertains to tradition of the Bontok Tribe where after hard labors from harrowing the ricefields (“sara”) and planting the same with palay seedings (‘tuned’), kinsmen and relatives now come together to take a break, rest, rejuvenate at the same time rekindle their kinships, strengthen their family bonds and re-affirm their unity. This event is traditionally held in the house and under the auspices of the oldest living family patriarch or matriarch and the participants thereto will bring their own produce of palay, vegetables, fruits, meat as well as their stocks of fermented sugarcane wine (“Yayas’) and rice wine (“tapey”). These will be the food from which everyone will partake for the duration of the event Whereas, the Municipality in enacting this ordinance hopes to adopt the concepts as well as the aims of the traditional Bontoc “Am-among” in formally establishing the BONTOC AM-AMONG FESTIVAL where its constituents will have the chance to come together to celebrate and re-affirm their unity as members of the Municipality.
