The Tamasikad Contest in Barotac Nuevo, Iloilo featured trisikads decorated after the loyal and brave Tamasak as part of the grand opening of the first Tamasak Festival on June 7, 2023.
“Indi gid matupungan ang artistry kag creativity sang mga Barotacnon nga ginpakita sa labing-una nga Tamasikad Contest,” Barotac Nuevo Mayor Bryant Paul “BP” Biron said in a Facebook post on Monday, June 12.
“Indi man magpaulihi sa iban pa nga exciting events subong nga semana. Dali na, sugod na sa Tamasak Festival,” he added.
The namesake of the event is based on the mythical white stallion of local hero Don Simon Raymundo Protacio Belen.
It was on top of the valiant steed, that Don Belen had his adventures, which culminated in Barrio Malutac becoming the pueblo now known today as Barotac Nuevo.
