Earlier report from GMA on Gasan's Kalesayahan Festival:

'Kalesayahan' was coined from the word 'kalesa' and' kasiyahan', pleasure, and is the name of a festival in Gasan that was introduced during the last decade. It was intended to generate interest on the existing kalesas, preserve them and use them as a vehicle to attract visitors to this ancient, historic town.
