July 1: Maramag Day (Philippines)

Maramag Day (Araw ng Maramag) is observed in the municipality of Maramag, Bukidnon, Philippines, every July 1 to commemorate the town’s founding anniversary. The name "Maramag" is believed to originate from the Manobo expression “Ar ramag,” which translates to “Let us eat breakfast here,” reflecting a local tradition where opposing tribes would share meals before battles. This practice fostered a sense of community and hospitality, making Maramag a rest stop for travelers and missionaries. The settlement began in the early 20th century under American administration, and it wasn't officially established as a municipality until July 1, 1956. Today, Maramag is primarily agricultural, with a population exceeding 108,000, and is known for its banana plantations, aquaculture, and tourism, including various spring resorts. The celebration of Maramag Day highlights the town's rich history and cultural heritage.
