Begnas di Babayas – marks the culmination of the December wedding season Begnas di Latab – marks the culmination of the summer (April-May) wedding season Begnas di Yabyab – one of many rice rituals is usually done in October or November, the start of the rice production cycle, to usher in good omens and bountiful harvest Begnas di Tangeb di Lakat – also related to rice production, is held after the harvest season That’s according “Brahmin Eyes”. hehe mangan lang ti ammuk ya 🙂 kidding!
