Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia pledged to provide each participating local government unit (LGU) with a subsidy for their production.
Garcia vowed to give P1 million in assistance to participating localities based in mainland Cebu, and P1.5 million to those from the island groups of Bantayan and Camotes.
Dubbed as the ‘festival of festivals’, the Pasigarbo sa Sugbo formed part of the Capitol’s month-long celebration for its founding anniversary.
The event was suspended for roughly two years when the COVID-19 pandemic raged in 2020.
Garcia previously announced that they are planning to revive all physical events and activities for the province’s 453rd Founding Anniversary this August, including Pasigarbo sa Sugbo.
