Bisaya Pesta Babulang mulls a comeback

KUCHING, 6 Feb: The Bisaya Pesta Babulang and its famous Buffalo Race may make a comeback this year after a two-year haitus.

However, according to the Sarawak Bisaya Association president Joseph Blandoi, their stagings are subjected to the latest Covid-19 pandemic situation.

In a statement here today, he said its supreme council in a recent meeting had outlined the festival and race as among the main events in its activities calender this year.

He said since the pandemic two years ago, many activities had either been shelved or put on the backburner, including its 50th anniversary celebration last year.

“We may have to modify the holding of our festival this year where several events will be held either physically or virtually or in hybrid manner.

“This shall be possible with technology.

“Some of the events which are normal parts of the festival can be split up and be held spread out throughout the year.

“Such options are inevitable to avoid over crowding so as to comply with the health standard operating procedure(SOP).”

However Joseph added premier events such as the buffalo race, cultural night stage show and the “Panakod Babulang” (receiving of the Guest of Honour) would be carried out from 3rd to 5th June.

“These are very popular with tourists from Brunei, Labuan and Sabah and from Sarawak itself.”

Other activities being lined up are the opening of the association building, a development seminar/workshop, “Rakit Babulang” ( rafting ), Babulang charity golf, fun run and the annual appreciation dinner gathering, said Joseph.
