The story

Alimango Sugpo Festival in Orani

Orani, Bataan celebrates its aquaculture economy every March with the Alimango Sugpo Festival, named for the mud crab and tiger prawn central to the town's fishing industry, combining seafood tastings and cooking contests with street dance and pageantry. The town's fishport is a documented trading hub drawing buyers from across Bataan and central Luzon.

In Orani, Bataan, the local calendar revolves in part around two crustaceans: alimango, the mud crab, and sugpo, the tiger prawn, both central to a fishing and aquaculture economy the town has built its Alimango Sugpo Festival around each March.
