Events in the Philippines

Philippines have a number of fiestas and these can be religious, cultural or both.  Here is a list of some of the fiestas celebrated by Filipinos yearly.  Foreign tourist would often visit these places to experience these fiestas.  I’ve only been able to experience two so far, Masskara and the Ati-atihan I had attended was the mini version in Cadiz City, Negros Occidental when I was a kid.  You may comment to add more fiestas celebrated in the Philippines so I can add it here.
