Last March 20, 2016 the Pre-Service Teachers of Central Bicol State of Agriculture assigned in Sagrada Familia High School were joined in the Festival of Minalabac as a part of their Extension Program that promotes “Teacher for the Community” The role of the teacher in a positive school-community relationship is extremely important since it is the teacher who is the backbone of the educational system. (Nebor, 1998)

            The festival is derived from the fruit-bearing stage of palay dubbed “buswak.”  Minalabac, is known for its vast rice fields, the local government unit officials and its tourism council decided to make it as an annual civic event, every month of March, showcasing the abundance of agricultural produce during the start of summer. Started on year 2007, the tourism committee focuses on the importance of town's vague history, legends and folklores.

Way back year March 2014, the Buswak Festival opened with street dancing participated in for the first time by some 200 public school teachers clad in colorful costumes, based on the local legend “Kulakog”, a legendary giant that once roamed Minalabac, and the legend of the Quiriaon bell during the Spanish era.

The festival aims to: promote the traditional agricultural products of the town palay, abaca, coconuts and seasonal vegetables, showcase its pristine beaches in the villages of Bagolatao, San Antonio, Salingogon and Hamorawon and to welcome traders in order to promote both local and national products.
