thing about festivals is that they add to the marry making and festivities

the Aliwan fiesta which is done in the month of April. Filipinos do festivals
primarily to celebrate. There are multitude reasons for this reason. We
celebrate our unity and amidst the diversity of cultures and we celebrate our
