Philippine Travel Notes: Happy Jimalalud

Tongue twister again?! Ah this one is easier! The town’s
name is pronounced in 4 syllables, ‘Ji’ is pronounced like the English word
‘he’ or the ‘hi’ in Himalaya. Remember that! The ‘ma’ is pronounced as you
would call your mom. Then ‘la’ is also pronounced as is, like when you sing ‘la
la la la la’. And the ‘lud’ is pronounced like a quick ‘lood’. It sounds like
the ‘lud’ in ‘ludicrous’ and not in ‘lewd’. Easy, right? So, its “ji-ma-la-lud”
pronounced in the speed and accent as you would say ‘Himalaya’ – reminding you
that the ‘la’ is pronounced like ‘luh’ instead of ‘lay’ even itself in the word
‘Himalaya’! Okay?! Now the folks from Jimalalud call themselves Jimalaludnon,
and that’s when my tongue starts to tangle hehe!

The Hambabalud Festival, the most awaited event each year, derives its name from the town’s most treasured trees, Hambabalud, which are believed to be the realm of the enchanted guardian of the trees, the mountain nymph they called, Diwata. To counteract the evils unleashed, the local folks seek the intercession of their patron, the Holy Child.(r/s)
The Hambabalud tree has become the symbol of God’s natural gift to the inhabitants, a part and parcel of the lives of the Jimalaludnons which they celebrate in the festival.(r/s)
Hambabalud Festival, a participant of the annual Buglasan Festival, wins several major awards in different category in the last few years and it has participated in several regional events in Central Visayas.
Ms. Jimalalud, Horse Fighting, and Balak, Balitaw & Harana are among the few competitions during the three-day celebretation of the town's annual fiesta.
