Male Netizen Throws Pork Meat & Money During “Hagisan ng Suman” in Quezon
A male netizen goes viral and earns reactions online for including pork meat and money during “Hagisan ng Suman” in Tayabas, Quezon.
In the town of Tayabas, Quezon, a remarkable event called “Hagisan ng Suman” took place on Monday, May 15, 2023, during the celebration of the feast of San Isidro Labrador and the Mayohan Festival.
During the Hagisan ng Suman, participants engage in a playful activity where they throw suman, a sweet rice cake wrapped in banana leaves, at one another. The lightheartedness of the event encourages people to catch the thrown suman, symbolizing sharing and the joy of giving.
However, this unique tradition in Tayabas goes beyond the usual fare.
Ben Jar, in his Facebook post, captioned his participation in the event, mentioning the throwing of suman, a pig’s head, leg, and money. While it may seem unconventional, this act holds deeper symbolic meaning.
By throwing suman, participants express a desire to share blessings and good fortune. The inclusion of pork products and money signifies abundance, prosperity, and generosity. It is a way for the community to come together and embrace the spirit of gratitude and giving.
The Hagisan ng Suman is closely tied to the celebration of San Isidro Labrador, the patron saint of farmers and laborers. San Isidro Labrador is revered for his devotion and miracles related to agriculture and farming.
As such, the Mayohan Festival, which coincides with the feast day of San Isidro Labrador, pays homage to the town’s agricultural heritage and the hard work of its people.
