“Religious and Regional Festivals in the

Philippines”
A festival is a celebration that focuses on the
characteristics of a community, its dominant religious
belief, cultures, and significant practices which are
seen to be worth commemorating. These take place
all across the Philippines, all year round. Most of
them are even celebrated for weeks or entire months.

There are two types of festivals: the religious and

regional/cultural. Religious festivals are celebrated in
honor of a saint or any commemoration of religious
practices regardless of religious denominations and
sects. On the other hand, cultural festivals are
celebrations of thanksgiving that focus on aspects of
tradition and heritage.

“Religious and Non-religious/cultural festivals”

PAHIYAS FESTIVAL is celebrated every May 15. is

a colorful and vibrant thanksgiving festival held
annually at Lucban, Quezon to honor San Isidro
Labrador, the patron saint of farmers, laborers and
agricultural workers.

During this time, families design their houses with

their harvest and the colorful “kiping” a leaf- shaped
wafer made from glutinous rice.

MORIONES FESTIVAL portrays the suffering of

Christ and the story of Saint Longinus who plunged a
spear into the crucified body of Jesus. It is celebrated
every Lenten season in Marinduque and in some
places in Mindoro.

The participant of this event, both men and women

wear colorful Morion attire and masks which portray
faces of the Roman soldiers. They march along the
town as an attempt to reenact the scene of the Roman
soldiers searching for Longinus, as well as some

scenes about the Passion (the final period in the life

of the Christ).

FERTILITY DANCE is a three-day celebration

which lasts from May 17-19 in Obando, Bulacan and
it involves different dance rituals that are meant to
honor three patron saints.

Couples –especially those who struggle with

infertility—dance and pray with the hopes of bearing
children, and they offer thanksgiving for a bountiful
harvest.

Couples who want a male child offer dances to San

Pascual de Baylon on May 17, while couples who
want a female child offer dances to Sta. Clara the day
after.

ATI-ATIHAN FESTIVAL is is celebrated every

third Sunday of January in Kalibo, Aklan to honor the
Sto. Niño. It is also known as the “Mother of all
Philippine Festivals”

Street dancers dress in vibrant, colorful costumes

with blackened faces. The festival name means “to be
like the Atis”, or the native Aetas, who are naturally
dark-skinned.

SINULOG FESTIVAL is the grandest festival of

Cebu celebrated every third Sunday of January to
honor the Señor Sto. Niño. Famous for its two-steps-
forward and one-step-backward dance. Sinulog is
derived from the word sulog which means “like the
movement of water currents”.

DINAGYANG FESTIVAL is celebrated in Iloilo

every fourth Sunday of January. The name of the
festival comes from the Ilonggo term “dagyang”
which means “merry-making”. This is held in honor
of Sto. Niño wherein the participants shouted “Viva
Señor Santo Niño” and dramatized an act of offerings
and prayer.

SANTA CRUZAN is a religious- historical festival

held every month of May. It commemorates the
search of the Holy cross by Queen Helena –a saint
who re-establised Christianity in Jerusalem, and her
son Constantine the Great, the first emperor who
followed Christian practices.

It is celebrated in many places across the country.

Participants parade the streets wearing their beautiful
and colorful gowns like as though they were joining a
pilgrimage.

PANAGBENGA FESTIVAL is the month-long

annual celebration is a tribute to the vibrant and
beautiful flowers in Baguio City, which is otherwise
known as “the summer capital of the Philippines”.
This is celebrated every February.

MASSKARA FESTIVAL is held in the “City of

Smiles”, Bacolod City. This celebrated every fourth
Sunday of October. It comes from the English word
“mass” which means “large crowd” and a Spanish
word, ‘’cara’’, which means “face”.

Colorful costumes and smiling masks are worn by the

participants during the dance. It also symbolizes the
character of Negrenses (or natives of Negros): that
even when there are challenges to overcome, they
maintain a positive attitude.

KAAMULAN FESTIVAL is an ethnic festival that

showcases the unique indigenous cultures of
Bukidnon, specifically that of the seven tribal groups:
Matigsalug, Tigwahanun, Higaunu, Umayamnun,
Manobo, Bukidnon and Talaandig. It is a three-day
gathering in Bukidnon which begins on the second
week of February until the 10th of March.
