A chandelier-shaped rice wafer and rice husk hang from the facade of houses, alongside other agricultural products and materials used as decorations to create colorful facades. During the Pahiyas Festival, locals engage in friendly competitions to creatively decorate their houses, accompanied by street parades, cultural performances, and local cuisine. This festival also serves as a celebration to give thanks to San Isidro Labrador, the patron saint of farmers, for a bountiful harvest. Together, these festivities highlight the rich local culture and agricultural prosperity of the region.
