RELIGIOUS FESTIVALS
Dubbed as the “Fiesta Island of the Pacific”, the Philippines is home to rich, colorful and
lively festivals. From Luzon to Visayas, down to the southern tip of Mindanao, Filipinos have
various ways of celebrating life’s abundance which are clear expressions of their religiosity and
strong faith in their creator. Fiestas showcase Filipino ingenuity at its finest.

the fiesta must go on. Each city and barrio have at least one local festival of its own, usually on
