The launching of the 7^th Dipolog Pagsalabuk Festival was successfully opened last May 23, 2005, 4:00 o’clock in the afternoon at the City Hall Building Annex.

Another attraction to bear with the afternoon is the one of a kind artwork of our fellow Dipolognon artists with their visual art exhibit. Visitors, men and women of the media and employees of the city spared some of their time to witness the momentous occasion. City Mayor Roberto Y. Uy with his beloved wife, First Lady Evelyn Uy and assisted by Hon. Alton Ratificar together with Miss Cheryl Laranjo, the Mutya sa Dipolog 2004 and Ms. Jivem Rose Lim 1^st Runner Up Mutya sa Dipolog 2004, formally opened the Dipolog Pagsalabuk Festival by a ribbon cutting ceremony.

Tribo Dipag, the ethnic musicians of Dipolog City, also hails the occasion with their soul-captivating and nature-inspired Neo-Ethnic music.

At about 5:00 o’ clock in the afternoon, the candidates of the Mutya sa Dipolog 2005 graciously wave as they proudly stand in their respective floats (the mini ford sponsored by JOPAH MOTORS). The peaceful streets of Dipolog were suddenly awaken by the rhythm of the Dipolog City executive band, the heart pumping beat of the drums of the Tribo Dipag and the yelling of the astonished people on the streets. The motorcade ended at the Foreshore and Dev’t Project where in a lot more fun waits. Another ribbon cutting was done to formally open the Agro Trade and Food Fair. Then, Hon. Alton Ratificar, the Dipolog Pagsalabuk Festival 2005 chairman gave his warm message, reminding us of the real meaning of Pagsalabuk, from the Subanen word meaning, Panaghiusa ug Panagpundok.

A feast will not be a feast without foods. So to satisfy everybody’s craving, the government of Dipolog offered the Dipolognon and its visitors a Spanish Style Sardines Eating Spree. Followed by a breath taking fireworks display that lasted for about ten minutes and as a grand finale for the tiresome yet joyful day, the Tribo Dipag again entertained everyone with a mini-concert by their Neo-Ethnic Concert.
