LINAMON, Lanao del Norte – As the world hunkered down to avoid being infected by COVID-19, jeopardizing livelihood of billions of people, the resumption of the “Hudyaka sa Lubi” in this town, complete with a street dancing competition on Monday, gave hope to small businessmen, like the street vendors.

The municipality, led by Mayor Randy J. Macapil, celebrated its 63rd founding anniversary, paying tribute to the coconut that is abundant in the area. “It’s not the same during the pandemic when it was challenging for us to live,” recalled Ladion of Barangay Magoong. Giovannie Darog, 30, married with one child, echoes the same sentiment. “I’m expecting more income today because so many people from other places are now visiting Linamon to witness the celebration,” said the resident of Barangay Samburon, who sells tempura, mineral water, and mango.
