Included in the list of astonishing events people want to witness in the rice-growing town of Pulilan in Bulacan north of Manila is the award-winning Kneeling Carabao Festival where hundreds of the often described beasts of burden gather every mid part of May for a parade in homage to the patron saint of farmers San Isidro Labrador. This has gained recognition from the Association of Tourism Officers of the Philippines as Best Festival in the town level for 2015 and 2016.
