MASKARA FESTIVAL
 Bacolod City’s MassKara 
Festival is also among the 
most popular celebrations in 
the country. The 
term Masskara is a 
portmanteau coined by late 
artist Ely Santiago from the 
words mass (English term for 
“crowd”), and cara (Spanish 
term for “face”), which means 
 a “multitude of faces.” Despite a 
smiling face being the festival’s 
emblem, it began during a crisis 
when the price of the locals’ 
primary agricultural crop, the 
sugar cane, was at an all-time low 
due to the introduction of sugar 
substitutes from the United 
States. The city was also met with 
a tragedy that killed around 700 
people.
