The Dinagyang is a religious and cultural festival in Iloilo City, Philippines held
on the fourth Sunday of January, or right after the Sinulog In Cebu and the Ati-
Atihan in Aklan. It is held both to honor the Santo Niño and to celebrate the
arrival on Panay of Malay settlers and the subsequent selling of the island to
them by the Atis.

2. HIGANTES FESTIVAL
Higantes Festival is a secular celebration initiated by the Municipality Angono
to express gratitude to its patron Saint Clement, in which the parade of giants is held
on Sunday before the town feast on November 23.
Base on Angono folklore, the ‘higante’ was used as symbol of agrarian protest
during the waning years of the Spanish colonization when Angono was a hacienda
(large tract of lands).

Black Nazarene festival is considered the largest religious festival in Asia.
Every 9th January, thousands of devotees from all walks of life comes to the church of
Quiapo to take part in the procession as a way of strengthening their faith or fulfilling their
“panata”(vow) to Lord.
