Due to the Spanish influence on Filipino's Catholic

spirituality, most of these festivals are religious in origin.
Others commemorate certain important events in history
of the country. No matter what the original meaning of the

garbed in elaborate costumes, overflowing food and
drinks, fluvial parades, processions, competitions, and
many more.
