The morning rainshowers, actually a perennial occurence here in Boac every December 8, the Feastday of the Immaculate Concepcion, the town's official Fiesta celebration, did not dampen the spirit of all participants to the "Bila-Bila Festival". This festival is seeing its grandest celebration this year, the first time that the various barangay clusters of Boac - from the riverside, seaside, Ilaya and Poblacion - have agreed to come up with contingents of street-dancers and festival drummers in colorful costumes depicting bila-bila, butterflies dancing freely.
Part of the mammoth crowd that came to watch the choreographed movements performed by youthful participants.
The butterfly industry is one the town's growing industries that has encouraged more butterfly-breeders. Butterfly-farming as an income-generating activity is also undertaken by farmers in the towns of Gasan, Buenavista and Mogpog. It has also encouraged the planting in local backyards of numerous butterfly host plants and as intercrops under coconut trees contributing to the further greening of Marinduque in the process.
