Antequera Celebrates its Basket Festival

ANTEQUERA BASKET FESTIVAL Thanks to my friend Joy Tibus, Your Roving Eye got the opportunity to visit her hometown Antequera last March 17, the town's most important day.

Joy explained to me that Antequera needed to promote their newly- established Basket Festival so that the following years would see a marked increase in attendance and participation. It was her way of complementing the efforts of the town LGU & private sector.

Known as the Basket Capital of Bohol, Antequera celebrated its 140^th Foundation Day and highlighted the activities with the sophomoric staging of its Basket Festival aimed at showcasing its basket products, boost its tourism promotions and develop the talents & skills of its youth through its own colorful street dancing competition which drew huge crowds.
