Malacaรฑang Palace has officially declared Tuesday, 16 June 2026, as a Special (Non-Working) Day in the Municipality of La Trinidad, Benguet through Proclamation No. 1298.

This declaration allows the people of La Trinidad the opportunity to fully participate in the celebration of the municipality's Founding Anniversary, honoring our shared history, heritage, and the remarkable journey of our community through the years.

As we commemorate this significant milestone, let us come together in gratitude and pride as one La Trinidad. May this celebration inspire us to continue building a stronger, more progressive, and united municipality for future generations! ๐Ÿ’•

A productive day! A promising start in our cleanliness and beautification efforts! With the support of every i-La Trinidad, we can build a cleaner, greener, and more beautiful place to call home. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our colleagues from the Tourism Office and MENRO, the La Trinidad Orchidarium MPC, and the dedicated interns from BSU (Environmental Science) and UB (Tourism)for sharing their time and service. Together, one community effort at a time, we can make a lasting difference! See you all in the coming days!

The Municipality of La Trinidad, through its MENRO and its Tourism Office, is spearheading its Roadside Beautification activities in partnership with volunteers, LT Binnadang partners, and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). The initiative aims to showcase a cleaner, greener, and more beautiful La Trinidad, one spot at a time.

Barangays, schools, non-government organizations (NGOs), businesses, civil society organizations (CSOs), and all residents are encouraged to take part in this collective effort. More than beautification, this is a call to revive the spirit of "Dugad mo, shalosim"---the enduring tradition that every resident of La Trinidad takes responsibility for keeping his or her surroundings clean and orderly.

Mayor Roderick C. Awingan reiterated his call for stronger partnerships and shared responsibility in preserving the municipality's cleanliness and beauty. He emphasized that building a better La Trinidad is not the work of government alone, but a commitment that must be embraced by every sector of the community. Through binnadang, discipline, and collective action, La Trinidad can continue to thrive as a community that takes pride in caring for its environment

The Official Seal of the Municipality of La Trinidad tells the story of a community deeply rooted in its heritage while steadily embracing progress. It reflects the identity, values, and aspirations of the i-La Trinidad people it represents.

Prominently featured in the seal are strawberries, pepper, pechay, cabbage, potatoes, and carrots, symbolizing La Trinidad's rich agricultural tradition. Known throughout the country as the "Strawberry Capital of the Philippines," the municipality was once celebrated as the "Salad Bowl of the Philippines" because of its abundant production of highland vegetables.

The mountain landscape depicts the natural environment that has shaped the lives and livelihoods of generations of La Trinidad residents. The three divisions of the circle signify the partnership among People's Organizations and Non-Government Organizations, the Local Government Unit, and National Government Agencies in working toward the municipality's continued growth and development.

The motto, "Unity, Prosperity and Integrity," captures the ideals that guide the community. The anvil and hammer represent the people's industry and the municipality's expanding economic opportunities, while the sixteen spokes stand for the sixteen barangays united in a common purpose. The 'kayabang', a traditional basket, reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Ibaloi, Kankanaey, and the diverse communities that now call La Trinidad home. The book and torch symbolize the municipality's important role as a center of learning in the Cordilleras.

The visual interpretation and descriptive presentation of the Official Seal were conceptualized and designed by Mr. Romeo Lopez, former Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator. The design serves not only as an explanation of the seal's elements but also as a tribute to La Trinidad's collective heritage, enduring values, and shared vision for the future.

"Galvey did not have a wife (Doรฑa Trinidad)"

Mr. James N. Paw of Pico, La Trinidad, author of The Cordillera Valley of La Trinidad, whose dedicated research and documentation have made a valuable contribution to the preservation and understanding of local history.

Through his work, he helped clarify the origins of the municipalityโ€™s name by revisiting long-standing narratives, including the popular account that La Trinidad was named by Spanish commander Guillermo Galvey in honor of a wife named Doรฑa Trinidad (which was proven to be non-existent).

Drawing from historical records, his research suggested an alternative interpretation: that the valley was more likely named by Spanish Military Governor Manuel de Scheidnagel around 1874 and inspired by the Christian doctrine of the Holy Trinity.

His scholarship has enriched public appreciation of La Trinidadโ€™s heritage and encouraged deeper inquiry into the communityโ€™s historical roots and identity.

"The Golden Kayabang Awards"

Although previous administrations of the Municipality of La Trinidad had long recognized outstanding citizens through various citations and commendations, it was only in 2014, under the leadership of Mayor Edna C. Tabanda, that the town formally introduced the Golden Kayabang Awards and Special Awards to honor exemplary community builders and institutions.

The recognition program was institutionalized the following year through Municipal Ordinance No. 35, series of 2015, also known as the โ€œLa Trinidad Foundation Day Ordinance,โ€ principally authored by then Councilor Roderick Awingan together with Vice Mayor Romeo K. Salda and Councilor Henry Kipas. Since then, the municipality has conferred around 32 Golden Kayabang Awards and nearing a hundred special awards and citations to individuals and organizations whose contributions shaped the townโ€™s growth and identity.

The largest number of Golden Kayabang Awardees was recorded during its inaugural year in 2014 with fifteen honorees, while some years saw only a single recipient. The most recent Golden Kayabang Award was conferred in 2018 to Mr. James Paw of Pico, La Trinidad, author of the book Cordillera Valley of La Trinidad, which helped clarify the origin of the townโ€™s name.

From 2019 to 2025, the municipality continued recognizing community leaders and builders through Special Kayabang Awards and citations. Though La Trinidadโ€™s official municipal foundation is legally and traditionally anchored on Republic Act No. 531 (June 16, 1950), making it younger than neighboring Benguet towns founded under American civil governance in 1900, its cultural roots and settlement history remain far older and deeply enduring, and so is the spirit of the i-La Trinidad.
