The Adivay Festival in Benguet was filled with joy anew as locals celebrated their rich culture and traditions.

One of the highlights of the event was the traditional race of catching piglets. The game symbolizes the prosperous culture of Benguet.

After the game, the piglets captured were slaughtered and shared among everyone, a tradition known as "Watwat."

"Watwat" is a common practice during family gatherings, festive occasions, and events meant for good fortune and thanksgiving.

This involves slabs of meat, either raw or boiled, which are given to anyone who visits a neighbor during a cañao or Cordilleran ritual.

However, there is more to "Watwat" than just sharing meat—it's deeply rooted in Cordilleran traditions, signifying hospitality, community, and the spirit of giving.
