 INTRODUCTION x
What is the history of Ati-atihan Festival?
Introduction Ati-atihan means "to be like aetas"or "make belive
ati's." Aetas were the primary settlers in the islands
according to history books. They too are the earliest settlers
of Panay Island where the province of Aklan rests. Jose
Iturralde wrote the origin of it, says that it started from an
old couple who lives in Western part of Aklan on 1700s.
Video The origin of the Ati-Atihan Festival can be traced back
to when the Atis started the celebration together with the
Malay people. Changes were then introduced when the Spaniards
came to colonize the Philippines. The Ati people, living in
the mountains above the plains where the Datus settles,
experienced famine because of bad harvest. Hence, they were
forced to descend from the mountains down to the settlements
Topics where the Malays lived. They seek the generosity of the datus
to which the latter responded positively. They were given food
and in return, the Ati people danced and sang for them as a
way of expressing their gratefulness for the foods they were
given.

More Information about Ati-atihan:
Introduction They say the best way to enjoy the Ati-Atihan Festival is
to free your spirit, let go of your inhibitions, and just
dance to the beat and shout ‘hala bira purya pasma’ (an
Aklanon phrase which means pour or dispense all means) or
Viva kay Señor Santo Niño! (Long live Child Jesus!) This
festival will definitely be one for the books. Be ready to
Video experience extremely loud drum beats and orchestrated foot
stomps and cheers, and witness energetic participants
covered in body paints and wearing colourful, intricate
costumes that will get you into the groove.
During the present-day festival, revelers cover their skin
with soot and wear Ati costumes that are patchworks of
Topics coconut shells, feathers, and fronds. They converge on the
main streets and around the town plaza and, to the beat of
drums, shout "Hala Bira" ('Go on and fight!'), pound their
spears, and repeatedly dance a two-step dance. From a
distance, the celebrants look like a solid mass of people
lurching and swinging in a frenzied rhythm.
