Just as our beloved Antique is known for its breathtaking landscapes and enduring heritage, we are equally proud of the diverse and colorful people who breathe life into our community every single day.

To those who have walked our streets, marveled at our shrines, and called Hamtic a home away from home, this celebration is for you, too.

Because in Hamtic, every story matters. Every person belongs.

Our cultural heritage lives through the stories, traditions, and craftsmanship passed down from one generation to another. It is found in the old churches that stood as cradles of faith, in ancestral houses that witnessed history unfold, and in the legends, myths, and origins that shaped our identity as Antiqueรฑos.

It thrives in our weaving, pottery, blacksmithing, and artistic traditionsโ€”skills and craftsmanship preserved through time by the hands of our people. It continues in our dances, customs, beliefs, and in the enduring culture of our indigenous communities, whose heritage remains deeply woven into the story of Antique.

As we celebrate Heritage Month 2026 with the theme, โ€œRoots and Horizons: Our Shared Heritage, Our Collective Future,โ€ we honor the legacy of our past while embracing the future shaped by our shared history, culture, and identity as Antiqueรฑos.

A milestone for Hamticโ€™s cultural heritage!

We are proud to announce that the Municipality of Hamtic has officially received its copy of the Antique Cultural Inventory, a compendium documenting the cultural assets of the 18 municipalities of Antique, as the primary output of the Cultural Mapping of Panay, Guimaras, and Negros Occidental Project!

More than just receiving the book, we are thrilled to share that Hamticโ€™s rich cultural data has already been endorsed to the Philippine Registry of Cultural Property (PRECUP), and we now hold the official certification to prove it!

This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication and hard work of our cultural mappers, who tirelessly documented Hamticโ€™s tangible and intangible cultural heritage, and our data validators, who ensured the accuracy and integrity of every cultural asset recorded. Your efforts have made Hamticโ€™s heritage official and recognized!

Our heartfelt gratitude to University of Antique, UP Visayas, the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), and all partners behind this meaningful project. Special thanks to the Office of Congressman AA Legarda, and the Office of Senator Loren Legarda for making this possible.

To our cultural mappers and data validators, your passion for Hamticโ€™s culture and history will echo through generations. Duru-duro gid nga salamat!

Hamticโ€™s culture is documented. Hamticโ€™s heritage is recognized.

This activity is held in celebration of Sadsad sa Baras, the barangayโ€™s cultural festival that brings the community together along the coastal area to give thanks for the bounty of the sea and to foster unity among its people.

Congratulations to the Barangay Council under the leadership of Punong Barangay Ramil Sagudaquil, and the SK Council led by SK Chairwoman Hannah Claire Millamena, for bringing this wonderful event to life. A heartfelt congratulations as well to Keth Earl Militante, the pageant director, and to all the people who poured their efforts into making this celebration a success. May this beautiful tradition live on forever and continue to bring the people closer together.

Celebrating 445 years of faith, devotion, and community in the Parish of Sta. Monica, Hamtic, Antique โœจ

Founded in 1581 during the early Spanish missionary period in the Philippines, the Parish of Sta. Monica stands as one of the oldest Catholic communities in Antique. Established under the Augustinian missionaries, it became a center of evangelization in the region, nurturing generations in the Catholic faith under the patronage of Saint Monicaโ€”model of perseverance, prayer, and motherhood.
For over four centuries, the parish has remained a spiritual home, witnessing history, strengthening families, and uniting the faithful through trials and triumphs.

445 years of unwavering faith and grace.
From its founding in 1581 to today, the Parish of Sta. Monica in Hamtic, Antique continues to stand as a beacon of hope, prayer, and community.

"Sa Dios Imo kami ig-ampo man, O Santa Monica nga dungganan!"
