Bahag-hari Festival
In pinamalayan, oriental Mindoro
 Bahag-hari Festival is a colorful celebration highlighted by street dancing, a parade of
colorful floats, and a different kind of Moriones Festival.
According to an old story, the early settlers of Pinamalayan came from Marinduque. While
on their way to Mindoro using their boats, they encountered turbulent weather and lost their
direction. They prayed to God Almighty for deliverance and guidance so the weather cleared and
a rainbow appeared on the horizon. The crew shouted ipinamalay meaning “it was made known”.
They followed the direction of the rainbow and landed at what is now Barangay Lumangbayan
and established the first settlement which they named Pinamalayan.
The rainbow became the historical landmark of the town. The yearly Bahaghari Festival is a
colorful commemoration of the importance of the rainbow in the history of the town of
Pinamalayan. The celebration includes a street dancing competition, cultural presentations,
religious and cultural activities, products and trade fair. Like the rainbow which rises to give color
in the sky after the torrent of rain, the Bahaghari Festival is a reflection of the continuing effort of
the people of Pinalamayan that there is truly paradise at the end of the rainbow. Tracing its roots
from the mythical founding of Pinamalayan, the Bahaghari Festival is a reflection of the first
Pinamalayeños' joy and thanksgiving for the divine guidance of a rainbow that guided them
through a raging sea towards a land of promise and bounty. This "Celebration of Colors" represents
the vivid flavors of Pinamalayan that are as varied and mesmerizing as rainbow hues.
