Generals roared in Rodeo Day

Kalilangan Festival Rodeo Day



Kalilangan 2012 was a festival full of programs and activities for all the generals. One of which is the Rodeo Day, organized by the City Government of General Santos - Hon. Darlene Magnolia R. Antonino-Custodio in partnership with the City Agriculturist Office - Merlinda Donasco and Committe on Agriculture headed by its Chairperson Hon. Eduardo D. Leyson IV and Vice Chairperson Hon. Richard L. Atendido.

The rodeo day was not the first in the city, in fact it was brought back to the list of events during the Foundation Anniversary of the City to give the cowboys of GenSan and other neighboring cities to showcase their talents.

The day was filled with whips and hisses of lassos and bullwhips hurdled into the air as the Rodeo Day 2012 in GenSan pits local cowboys and ranch hands from the city and throughout the region.



With 8 teams participating from places as far as Cagayan de Oro, Bukidnon , Kabacan and Marawi they competed in all of the various events in the festival. The different events were not limited to cowboys only but also for the women as well. The cowgirls have also corresponding individual events and a team event composed both of cowboys and cowgirls to give twist to the different categories.



Events include calf lassoing, casting down, bull riding, bull wrestling and karambola. There were also minor events such as load carrying, wood chopping and tug of war. The events were indeed full of fun and excitement as the crowd roared to every ooosss and aaaassss of the participants.

Gensan is known for its world class yellow fin tuna, the emergence of asparagus and now, hopefully the revival of the rodeo day will rebuild the haydays of the generals' true cowboys.

After all the Kalilangan 2012 celebration aims to revive, rebuild, revitalize and invigorate the local experiences of the vibrant and wonderful cultures and traditions.
