PAHIMIS, a coffee festival of thanksgiving in Amadeo, Cavite, is the first ever of its kind in the Philippines. Now on its 5th year, the coffee fest has slowly become a tradition that is awaited by coffee lovers from all over the country. But, what is PAHIMIS?

PAHIMIS is the Amadeo word for thanksgiving. In the olden times, as a sign of thanksgiving the coffee farmer gave away his last can of harvest, believing that by doing so, luck and abundance will come on the next harvest season.

In keeping with this tradition of thanksgiving, Pahimis is now a coffee festival named after this cultural practice, held annually in Amadeo, Cavite. Among the highlights of the three-day event are the coffee exhibits and performances, farm tours, as well as coffee tasting and giveaways to ensure good luck and street dancing to shout the people's joy of thanksgiving. Part of the festival as well is the Pahimis Coffee Trade Expo & Amadeo Garden Show.

This event, initiated by the incumbent Amadeo Mayor OJ Ambagan and his officials, aims to promote the town's coffee industry and support the local tree growers. It also seeks to present Amadeo as the Coffee Capital of the country and promote the quality of coffee in the Philippines.
