Bañamos 2009!

"We bathe! We bathe! We bathe!" That's the English translation for the term Bañamos! Very appropriate since this town of Laguna called "Los Baños" literally means "The Baths" and the name speaks for itself - the town have lots of natural springs, especially the hot springs. But you should also know, the town's not only offering natural springs but a lot of surprises from it's natural and human resources.

Every September of the year, Bañamos is being celebrated by the people of this humble town where lots of activities are being held in a week-long celebration: street dancing wherein most of the local's schools are participating, beauty pageant with candidates from all fourteen (14) barangays (villages), games like Buko-Pie-eating contest, battle of the bands, and more. And since Los Baños is not only known for the buco products and hot springs as well, it also showcases exhibits and Science-related displays as it is the only Special Science and Nature City of the Philippines declared on August 7, 2000 under the Presidential Proclamation 349.

This year, it will be held on September 16th-20th. We all look forward to see you there as we all bathe under another year of good festivities like Bañamos!
