The spirit of unity and pride filled the air on May 23 as two paramotor gliders soared gracefully around the Capitol, captivating onlookers with their aerial display. With banners proudly reading “Happy Ammungan,” the flyby marked a spectacular start to the Grand Ammungan Festival (GAF) 2025. As the crowd watched in awe, the sky itself seemed to join in the celebration, echoing the joy and cultural pride of Novo Vizcayanos.
The Grand Ammungan Festival has long been a vibrant showcase of the province’s heritage, bringing together diverse communities to celebrate their shared identity. The paramotor flyby added a modern and thrilling element to the festivities, symbolizing not only progress but also the daring spirit of the Novo Vizcayanos. It was a visual representation of freedom, tradition, and innovation all in one breathtaking performance.
Paramotor flying, a relatively niche but growing sport, has become one of Nueva Vizcaya’s standout recreational activities. The province’s rolling hills, and scenic landscapes make it an ideal destination for those seeking the thrill of flight. The flyby during GAF 2025 not only entertained the crowd but also served to promote this exciting hobby to festival-goers and visitors alike, encouraging more locals to explore the skies.
Paramotor flyby was more than just a spectacle. It was a powerful symbol of how tradition and adventure can co-exist. It served as a reminder that honoring cultural roots goes hand in hand with embracing the future through courage and curiosity. As the gliders disappeared into the horizon, they left behind not just excitement, but also a renewed appreciation for the culture, beauty, and boundless spirit of Nueva Vizcaya.
With the steadfast backing of Governor Atty. Jose V. Gambito, GAF remains not only a celebration of culture and tradition, but also a platform for innovation and progress for the betterment of our province. #jmcb
