Government workers from national and local offices, public officials and members of non-government organizations united in the Holy Mass concelebrated at Saint Paul Cathedral in this city. As people of faith in the Christian world, Ilocanos gather in their religious events on special feast days of patron saints.  One mission of the festival is paying more attention to the children. It is because of the observation that many traditions, songs, dances, and other Ilocano culture are not recognized by the younger generations of the province.

It is unique because of some of its flavor. It is garlicky and differ of color compared to other variety of longganisa.
