Paladong is coined from the kamayo word “Ladong”, which means a ritual conducted by a Ladongan calling on the abian or spirit to grant him the power to cure. The Paladong, therefore, is a reminiscent of that spiritual invocation for the power of healing. Paladong Festival is an annual activity conducted in the Araw Ng Hinatuan and Patronal Fiesta Celebration, sponsored by the LGU of Hinatuan, Surigao Sur.
