Aliwan Fiesta 2012 1st Runner up - Buyogan Festival of Abuyog, Leyte represented by Tribu Buyoganon.
The term "Buyogan" is derived from the town's name Abuyog. Legend tells that the town got its name when the Spaniards, during the 1500s, landed in the town and asked for its name. One inhabitant of the town thought that the Spaniards were asking for the name of the swarm of bees flying around. The man answered "Ah! Buyog" - buyog, the Waray-waray term for bees.
