“Balitok” in Ilocano means gold, from which the festival BALITOK TI ALICIA drew inspiration as they gratefully celebrate the golden era of the town of Alicia, Isabela. Being one of the prime palay producers of the province, the festival honors rice as the golden grains that helped this humble town, formerly called Angadanan Viejo, to become a prominent business hub in Central Isabela. The Lady of Atocha is honored during the occasion. Devotees flock to the church for their immense love for the lady, who was brought by Spanish Conquistadores via Mexico in the 1700s.
