“But where is the improvement in the lives of our coconut farmers in Quezon? Why are those who depend on coconut farming, the primary industry of our province, as their livelihood still living in poverty?” she said.

Tan, a former representative of Quezon’s fourth congressional district, defeated former Gov. Danilo Suarez, the patriarch of Suarez political clan, in the May 9 election. LOCAL FARE | Booths set up in front of the Quezon provincial capitol in Lucena City offer native food and products unique to the province’s 39 towns and two cities as the province celebrates Quezon Day through activities spread out in five days, including the commemoration of the birth of former President Manuel L. Quezon on Aug. 19.

The festival was canceled in 2014 after Typhoon Glenda devastated coconut farms in the province. The event was also not held in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Tan on Wednesday also led the opening of the “tagayan” booth, where guests take a swig of “lambanog” inside a coconut-inspired pavilion set in front of the provincial capitol and Perez Park.
