Snippets of Information About Bonok-Bonok
“Bonok-Bonok Maradjaw Karadjaw” is Surigao City’s festival of thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest and serves as a reflection of the city’s rich cultural heritage. It is held every September 9th, the eve of Surigao City’s Feast for San Nicolas de Tolentino.
Donned in colorful attire, dancers chant “Viva Señor San Nicolas de Tolentino… Viva!” as an expression of gratitude to the Almighty for good health and abundant harvest, through the intercession of the City’s patron saint.
“Bonok-bonok” and “Maradjaw Karadjaw,” are the Surigaonon dialects for “heavy downpour” and “All the Very Best.” This is so since heavy rains ensure a bountiful harvest of rice, root crops and fruits – the staple food for Surigaonons.
Surigao City, popularly known as the City of Island Adventures, is the capital of Surigao del Norte, a province located at the Northeastern region of Mindanao in the Philippines.
