PENAREDONDO, The Philippine Star Rosario, Batangas, known primarily for its agricultural prowess, found itself embroiled in controversy with what is infamously known as Hacienda Binay, or the Sunchamp Agri-Tourism Park. What could have been a proud tourism landmark for Rosario turned into a symbol of scandal, casting a shadow over the town's reputation. For Rosario residents, accustomed to a quieter existence, the sudden spotlight brought a mix of fascination and concern, reminiscent of the current scrutiny surrounding a POGO hub in Bamban, Tarlac.

The town of Rosario, Batangas, has taken a significant step towards enhancing convenience for local motorists and those from nearby areas with the establishment of the LTO Vehicle Registration Extension Facility in Barangay Quilib. This facility is poised to provide comprehensive services that eliminate the need for long trips to Lipa or Manila for vehicle-related tasks.
Nestled in the heart of the 4th district of Batangas, Rosario has rapidly emerged as a vibrant hub of commerce and agriculture. This transformation became more pronounced after Lipa City, previously part of the 4th district, attained the status of a lone congressional district. Geographically central to the district, Rosario's strategic location has catalyzed its development into a bustling commercial center, with its sights set on cityhood.

Rosario, a vibrant town in Batangas Province, is set to witness a significant transformation with the construction of a new modern public market and a state-of-the-art stadium in Barangay San Roque. These developments, announced by Mayor Leovy Morpe during the Sinukmani Festival Concert, are poised to cater to the needs of the town's growing population, which now stands at 140,000.
The Sinukmani Festival 2024 began on June 5 and concluded on June 9, the founding anniversary of Rosario. The full list of events is as follows:
A popular supermarket chain in Batangas opens in Barangay Namunga, Rosario, Batangas last December 15, 2023. It is the 10th Citimart branch and 8th in the province of Batangas. Its supermarket at the basement is fully operational while shops at the ground floor and the entire 2nd floor are to follow. Makeshift free taste booths at the ground floor were installed during the grand opening. We failed to cover these in our video including the ribbon cutting and some events at the activity area.
A KFC store opens in Barangay Namunga, Rosario, Batangas last December 28, 2023. It is the 375th KFC store in the Philippines and the 13th in the Province of Batangas. The first 100 customers of the branch received a free tote bag.
This year's celebration includes singing contest, marching band parade, procession, fireworks display, serenata, concelebrated mass, and beauty pageant. All photo credits to FB pages of Mayor Leovy Morpe, Sangguniang Bayan ng Rosario, and Our Lady of the Rosary Parish.
We couldn't embed some of the videos because video embeds of Facebook are acting up, but you can visit the FB pages to see more. Compilation of videos courtesy of daddy wel tv. We chose these videos filmed in Barangay Bulihan, Rosario, Batangas for this post. Visit daddy wel's Youtube channel for more handaan/celebration videos and whatnot. The series covers things we see in a traditional Batangas wedding or baysanan from lipatan, panunulungan, sumanan, wedding reception, pasabit, and sabugan. Slaughtering of animals, also part of the preparation, is not included in the videos as it will violate YouTube guidelines.
Also worth noting in a Batangas wedding is pulungan, the Batangueño term for pamamanhikan. Other terms/practices preceeding the wedding proper are paghahanda, martesan, paglalawo, pagdadahon, pagniniyog, and pahapunan. Another tradition right after the wedding is the dapit. |
