Just remembered the species frog that students of biology catch in the field that are used for their experiments and study... Also, it is a delicacy that my mother used to cook of which I had the privilege to partake.

This festival was actually my brainchild in 2003 together with Roland Quiambao and Robbie Tantingco. We were fishing for frogs one day for documentation purposes then it hit us... this tradition is so unique, why not showcase it in a festival? And the frogs lured the media and crowds in. Hehe!<BR/><BR/>Expect the festival to be sometime in October. I'll announce it when I get the exact dates for this year. Place is San Fernando, Pampanga.Ivan Henareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08952639023631049082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-1146570435037413512006-05-02T19:47:00.000+08:002006-05-02T19:47:00.000+08:00He,he...always in charming company ! ;-)Wow!

I can not find the information back but there seems to be frog races and food related with frogs?<BR/>Do you know the exact date and the exact place?
