 L E S S ON

Festivals in the Philippines offer people a chance to exhibit their rich culture and
pay homage to the history and patron saints. They are vibrant, big, and celebrated
with a lot of pomp and show. No wonder, each province has its own Filipino Fiesta
that they are very proud of.

Tourists from all over the world visit the Philippines not just to see its beautiful
beaches and breathtaking sights, but also to experience the country’s grand
festivals that, without a doubt, makes it more fun in the Philippines.

Ati-Atihan Festival- Aklan

If you plan to visit Boracay in January, you might as well watch the locals
masquerading as Negritos in colorful costumes, dancing and chanting “Hala Bira!”
in Aklan for their Ati-Atihan Festival.

Similar to Cebu’s Sinulog Festival, this event is celebrated to honor Santo Niño. Ati-
Atihan Festival in Aklan is considered to be one of the best festivals in the
Philippines. This religious festivity is also one of the oldest Philippine celebrations.

3rd Sunday of January

Sublian Festival - Batangas

The Sublian festival, a two week long celebration which culminates every
year on the 23rd of July, is rooted in the Batangueños devotion to the town’s
patron: the Holy Cross in Bauan and Agoncillo, and the Sto. Niño in Batangas City.
This religious devotion translated to a dance from indigenous to Batangas:
the Subli. Traditionaly performed to the accompaniment of drums and chanting,
the Subli praises the Patron in a combination of poetry, movement and music.
Today, the Sublian festival features not just devotional dance-song but street
dancing indigenous Filipino games, Harana (serenades), the Lupakan, Awitan
at Sayawan: an event which combines the sharing of Nilupak (local delicacy made
of bananas and sweet potato) with folk songs and dancesand even a Malunggayan
Fiesta, a day that celebrates the nutritional benefits of the malunggay (moringa)
plant. The Sublian Festival also coincides with the city’s founding anniversary.
 It came from 2 words: “Subsub” bending your body forward or downward
and “bali” broken.
