Isabela province, one of the country’s top rice and corn producers, celebrated on Friday its annual Bambanti Festival with a street dance involving 2,495 people dressed as scarecrows, a colorful presentation that earned global recognition.
“You are officially amazing!” said Pauline Ann Sapinska, adjudicator for the Guinness World Records, after proclaiming the new world record set by the province for the largest gathering of people dressed as “bambanti” (the Ilocano term for scarecrows).
