Hudyaka 2012 Aug 11, 2012. Saturday.
Bunker Hill Forest Preserve, Chicago, Illinois teemed with ZANORTEANS (people from the province of Zamboanga del Norte, the Philippines in America) to celebrate the province's annual festival- Hudyaka. This was a festivity started by Governor Lando Yebes and was responsible also for Zamboanga del Norte to be popularly known as ZANORTE.
Gov. Lando Yebes, Board Member, Alan Ranillo, and another staff member were present to witness the different activities performed by the ZANORTEANS in Illinois through their organization, ZAMNAI.
Participants of ZAMNAI's HUDYAKA 2012 were all ZANORTEANS of the different associations ranging from towns to schools, to civics. They were all united, unique, and uproarious. A pride of Mindanao.
And, Gov Lando Yebes intimated to me in a chat that this ZAMNAI HUDYAKA activity was highly commendable especially the preservation of the province's culture and tradition. The governor added that someday, the coming generation will be proud that they, too, have roots and branches from ZANORTE.
