Rising Prices Spoil 'Boipuso' Shopping

In most households, the Boipuso is traditionally marked with food and drinking sprees as people internalise the meaning of independence to reflect personal progression and independence as well.

It is that time of the year when every household would prepare some rare delicious meal as a treat. Usually the food is prepared in bulk and would also be shared among extended families, friends and visitors. No family wants to be left behind and every family head ensures that they work hard to see to it that in one way or the other, their household enjoys Boipuso like others. New clothes for the children are also a common phenomenon during independence celebrations countrywide.
