A testament to our optimistic attitude in life and proof that, come hell or high water, the Pinoy .spirit of resilience and looking forward to the better, will always prevail As a Pinay who grew up in the countryside, vivid memories of colorful fiestas easily come to mind. Remember all those banderitas hanging in the streets, the Santa Cruzans featuring the town’s prettiest and handsomest young citizens, the ‘amateur singing contest’, balagtasans and nightly programs in the town plaza, as well as the liga ng basketball? Of course, on the day of the feast itself, the streets are alive with the town’s drum and bugle band
