Misamis Oriental’s Kuyamis Festival has been officially recognized as one of the Department of Tourism’s (DOT) major festivals in the Philippines.

Provincial Tourism Officer Maryden Ocot credited the efforts of Misamis Oriental Governor Peter Unabia and 2nd District Representative Yevgeny Vincente Emano for elevating the festival’s status.

“The institutionalization of the festival made their efforts reach its desired impact,” Ocot said in an interview Wednesday.

Founded 12 years ago during then-Governor Emano’s term, the festival was formalized through Provincial Board legislation, paving the way for its inclusion in the DOT’s promotional activities for 2025.

This year’s festivities will run from Jan. 13 to Jan. 17, featuring vibrant cultural presentations, competitions, and celebrations centered around the “kuyamis” — young, golden-colored coconuts unique to the province.

DOT Northern Mindanao Director Elaine Marie Unchuan highlighted the festival’s success in creating a distinct cultural identity and boosting the region’s tourism potential.

Unchuan also noted the positive impact of Japan’s recent decision to lower its travel advisory for the province from Level 2 to Level 1, signaling increased safety and opening more opportunities for local economic growth.

A Level 1 advisory, according to the Japanese Embassy, assures its citizens that travel to the area is relatively safe. (PNA)
