Malita just celebrated its 16th Gaginaway Festival. A gathering of its founding tribes and diverse cultures meet as its people offer their prayers, songs of praise, and dance. It is a yearly gathering by the local tribespeople of Malita, a custom that defines its people from their elders. Once again we witnessed a rich cutural heritage that can only be found in Malita. Thank you to the Local Government Unit of Malita headed by our Honorable Mayor Bradly L. Bautista, Honorable Vice Mayor Estefanie Bautista-Dumama, the local tribal leaders and its people, employees, guests, and to the people of Malita. Also present in the event is newly elected Brgy.
