The much-awaited “Bañamos Festival| in Los Baños, Laguna, known for its deep connection to the town’s hot spring and natural heritage, will once again highlight the culture, heritage, and natural wonders of the town while also providing a significant economic boost to local merchants and artisans.

At a press conference organized by Mayor Anthony “Ton” Genuino last September 4, local organizers promised a bigger and more exciting celebration than ever before.

Festival-goers are advised to prepare to get “soaked” as the festival will be "10 times bigger" than before, as Genuino put it.

Some of the new activities visitors must anticipate include the first-ever Drone Light Show and the incorporation of a “shower parade” in the civic parade where attendees can expect a much wetter and more exhilarating experience.

Other events include the Flower and Garden show where their identity as the Science and Nature City of the Philippines by showcasing the abundant ornamental plants and flowers; Murals of Makiling a painting contest that will showcase Los Baños as a hub of culture and creativity at the Philippine High School for the Arts; and the Padyak LB Kiddie Edition where kids are encourage to join in sports specifically in cycling, and more thrilling activities.

This year’s festival also features a bustling marketplace with 50 to 60 booths set up inside the University of the Philippines Los Baños (UPLB) campus. Organized by a local group of online sellers, the marketplace aims to support local merchants by providing them with stalls to showcase their products even outside the Los Baños campus.

Organizers are optimistic that this initiative will significantly contribute to the local economy, targeting to increase the last years revenue of P3.5 million.

Simula Lunes, September 9, ay pansamantalang ititigil ng Philippine National Railways (PNR) ang biyahe nito mula Calamba City, Laguna papuntang Lucena City, Quezon at pabalik.

Ayon sa PNR, ito ay upang bigyang-daan ang "strengthening" ng mga embankment, riles at tulay sa nasabing ruta kasabay na rin ng tuluy-tuloy na pag-uulan sa nakalipas na mga araw.

Walang katiyakan kung kailan maibabalik ang nasabing biyahe, ngunit sinigurado ng PNR na magbibigay sila ng update sa mga commuter sa sandaling matapos ang mga isasagawang pag-aayos sa riles ng tren.

Sa kasalukuyan ay may dalawang biyahe ang PNR sa pagitan ng Calamba City at Lucena City, isa sa umaga papuntang Lucena at isa sa hapon pabalik ng Calamba.
