    Famous Festivals of Mimaropa

    BILA-BILA FESTIVAL
    HISTORY: The morning rainshowers,
    actually a perennial occurrence here in Boac
    every December 8, the Feast day of the
    Immaculate Concepcion, the town's official
    Fiesta celebration, did not dampen the spirit
    of all participants to the "Bila-Bila Festival".
    This festival is seeing its grandest
    celebration this year, the first time that the
    various barangay clusters of Boac - from the
    riverside, seaside, Ilaya and Poblacion -
    have agreed to come up with contingents of
    street-dancers and festival drummers in
    colorful costumes depicting bila-bila,
    butterflies dancing freely.

    BONGABONG-SULYOG
    FESTIVAL
    HISTORY: Sulyog is a combination of
    the Mangyan term “suli” meaning
    banana and the Tagalog word “niyog”
    for coconut. Said products are the
    main agricultural crops of the
    municipality. Presented in a street
    dance, Sulyog is a culmination of
    thanksgiving rites in honor "Bathala".
    The performers portray the harvesting
    of bananas and coconut, extracting coconut from shell and dried for copra, and the assorting
    of bananas for sale, and offering of these products to Bathala. 

    BARAGATAN FESTIVAL
    HISTORY: Baragatan Festival started
    off on May 22 with a colorful float
    parade and an interesting dance parade
    billed "Pantiguan sa Baragatan." The
    latter is a showdown of municipal
    officials as they depict their history,
    culture, and tradition in dance. Fourteen
    municipalities joined the festival dance
    competition.

    As envisioned, the Pantiguan sa Baragatan showed off the diversity of Palawans cultures as
    well as the natural skill and talent of local officials who enthusiastically joined the parade in
    the spirit of unity and convergence which is the message of the yearly Baragatan Festival.
    Baragatan comes from the Cuyuno word "bagat," which means to meet or to gather. Thus,
    Baragatan is a convergence of Palaweños in a cultural, agricultural festival and trade fair.
     
    BINIRAYAN FESTIVAL
    HISTORY: Binirayan Festival is a
    month-long celebration of Antique
    Province every month of December. The
    festival celebrates Antique’s rich history
    and tradition. It also commemorates the
    Antiqueños roots which are the Malays
    and Atis. Malandog, Hamtic, Antique is
    the first Malayan settlement and the
    beginning of the Malayan civilization in
    the country. The Province of Antique
    annually remembers its history through
    the Binirayan Festival. The Binirayan Festival started in 1974. The main events of the
    festival which Antiqueños always look forward to are the fluvial parade locally known as the
    “Biray kang Barangay,” Lin-ay kang Antique, Bugal kang Antique Awards and the Battle of
    Festivals called Malay-Ati Competition.

    PADANG GITAB FESTIVAL


    HISTORY: Oriental Mindoro turned on
    the summer heat as it recently celebrated
    the Province’s rich nature and culture in
    the award-winning Pandang Gitab
    Festival. Originally held to mark the
    province’s founding day, the cultural
    dance dates back to the Spanish era
    which was inspired by the practice of
    marginal fishermen in lighting their
    lamps as they go off to sea. 

    Endowed by a long coastline, Oriental Mindoro is blessed with lush fishing grounds teeming
    with aquatic resources making fishing a major means of livelihood.
    Coined from the words “pandanggo” and “dagitab” or flicker of light, the stylized dance
    follows the traditional sway-and-balance movement, with the shallow gyrating of the hips
    and side-swing of the hands. The street dance parade, the highlight of the festivity, took place
    at the provincial capital city of Calapan last May 16. Commencing at the Sto. Nino
    Cathedral, the dancers first paid homage to the patron saint at Angelus prayer time before
    they went around the city with the popular folk dance “pandanggo sa ilaw”.
