Thousands of local tourists attends the ‘Kneeling Carabao Festival’ in Pulilan, Bulacan. In this unique festival, carabaos are pulling a cart adorned with fruits and vegetables as they are paraded on the streets of Pulilan and once they reached San Isidro Labrador Church, the owner of the animal forces it to kneel in front of the church as form of thanksgiving and honor to San Isidro, the patron saint of the farmers for a bounty harvest.
