Started in the 16th century and celebrated every 15th of May, this festival is an event of this community iin honor of San Isidro Labrador for good harvest. The Pahiyas is not Pahiyas without the KIPING, the colorful leaf like wafers hung in every home along the route of the procession. It is the kiping that makes the Pahiyas so colorful making every visitor gaze in awe at the scene of the long line of houses decorated with kiping in all sorts of sizes, shapes and style.
Kiping is made of rice, thus it is edible when fried or grilled. Food coloring is mixed to produce different colors. After the festival, the kipings are processed to become chips.
