“Magandang araw po sa inyong lahat!
“It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you all to the BARAKOFEST2025 —a celebration that goes beyond coffee. While we take immense pride in our world-renowned Kapeng Barako, this festival is also about something greater: the spirit, resilience, and values of the Batangueños.
“BarakoFest is a tribute to the strength, courage, and unity that define us as a people. Just like our bold and strong coffee, Batangueños stand firm, face challenges head-on, and embrace progress while staying true to our roots. This festival is a testament to our shared vision of uplifting our culture, supporting our local industries, and ensuring a bright future for our province.
“None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of many individuals and institutions. First and foremost, we extend our deepest gratitude to the RECTO Family, especially to the pride of Batangas, Secretary Ralph Recto, Ryan Christian Santos-Recto, Lucky Manzano, at ang magbabalik at nag-iisang ina ng lalawigan ng Batangas, Governor Vilma Santos-Recto. Their commitment to Batangas is not just about helping—it is about leading us towards a brighter and more prosperous future. Their dedication continues to inspire us all, and we are truly grateful.
“We also want to recognize and express our heartfelt appreciation to Mayor Eric B. Africa and the Sangguniang Panlungsod for their steadfast support and assistance in making this event a reality. Their leadership and commitment to the progress of Lipa City have been instrumental in ensuring the success of BarakoFest.
“Furthermore, we extend our sincere gratitude to our honorable Batangueño members of the House of Representatives, our beloved mayors from different cities and municipalities, and all our local and national government officials. Your dedication to serving the people of Batangas and your continued support for initiatives that promote our heritage, industries, and communities.
“A special acknowledgment also goes to the thousands of workers and volunteers whose dedication help ensure that the our 3-day event will go smoothly. Thank you for lending us countless hours and sleepless nights. Your work is essential in keeping our traditions alive while driving economic and cultural growth.
“Of course, we cannot forget our media partners and the press, who play a vital role in sharing our story with the world. Thank you for amplifying our voices and helping showcase the rich culture and heritage of Batangas.
“Lastly, to our partners, sponsors, local farmers, artisans, business owners, and every proud Batangueño —maraming maraming salamat po!
“This festival is for all of us, a celebration of our roots, our values, and our future.
Let’s enjoy the festivities, honor our heritage, and continue building a legacy worth remembering.
“Mabuhay ang BarakoFest! Mabuhay ang Batangueño! Mabuhay ang Batangas!
Maraming salamat at mabuhay tayong lahat!”
