Sinulog Festival Parade today!
Philippines has many festivals during the year, celebrations deeply rooted from pagan history, namely Ati-Atihan which reflect time based costumes and rituals that have been modified over time to reflect more modern Christian beliefs

This Thanksgiving celebration is enacted the third Sunday in January across Cebu, regarded as the largest Philippines parade festival in honor of Santo Niño in recognition of Christianity. What I have seen is street percussion, dancing, and costumes. The main event involves an initial shuffling dance prayer.

Dinagyang Festival
This Filipino festival is very similar to the Ati-Atihan celebration taking place in Iloilo City on the fourth Sunday of January. Parades of people painted black and dressed in tribal warrior wear dance, chant, stomp, and beat drums long into the night in honor of Santo Nino and the Christianization of the local people.

Panagbenga Flower Festival
The three-day Panagbeanga festival takes place annually in Baguio City during February. Participants dress in colorful costumes reminiscent of the highland flowers and tribes and celebrate the growing season with parades and native dancing.

Morione Festival
This extravagant festival takes place on the island of Marinduque during the Easter Holy Week, usually in April. Participants dress in Roman costumes and reenact the story of the conversion of the Centurion Longinus, who pierced the side of Jesus with his spear before being beheaded.

Masskara Festival
The colorful Masskara festival is hosted by Bacolod City in the Negros Occidental province of the Philippines. The literal translation, ‘festival of many smiles,’ takes place the third week of October every year and celebrates the strength of the human spirit in times of adversity. A key component is a street dance competition with participants wearing richly decorated smiling masks. Other events include carnivals, a beauty pageant, music competitions, food, sports, concerts, and a garden show.

Black Nazarene
This name is given to a statue of Jesus believed to have pale skin that became dark after surviving a ship fire as it arrived in the Philippines from Mexico. On January 9th every year, the statue is taken from its resting place in the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, for a procession. The festival begins in the morning with a Holy Mass at the Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park, and then the statue is put on a cart back to Quiapo, carried by maroon wearing, barefoot penitents
