                    [Summary] => For allegedly having no economic value, the Sarok Festival celebrated by the municipality of Consolacion will likely be replaced by the Bamboo Festival to cap the week-long celebration of the 86th founding anniversary of said town come February 14. 


The Sarok Festival, which has already been celebrated annually for the past 10 years, has "no economic value", Consolacion management consultant Jerson Maraño said, "but it is just being celebrated because the town is accustomed to doing such."
