filled festivals in the Philippines
particularly in Kalibo, Aklan.
It is held every third Sunday of
January in honor of the arrival of the
Santo Niṅo as a gift from Ferdinand
Magellan to the queen of Cebu.
The highlight of the festival is
the street dance competition of the
different groups representing different
tribes.
They wear colorful costumes,
including the headdresses that are made
of abaca fibers, shells, feathers,
bamboo, plant leaves, cogon and sugar
cane flowers.
All the participants cover
themselves with soot to look like the
Ati, natives of Aklan. The term “Ati-
Atihan” means make believe “Ati”.
MASSKARA FESTIVAL

Masskara Festival in Bacolod

is considered as the most
spectacular display of colors,
beauty, and culture of the
Negrenses. Masskara comes from
two words, “Mass” meaning crowd
and “Cara”which means face.
The smiling masks have
become the city’s symbol which
earned them the tag, “City of
Smiles”. During the old days, their
masks were adorned with locally
found materials like coconut
sprouts, colorful betel nuts, violet,
yellow or red San Francisco leaves
and annatto, more locally known as
atsuete, serves as natural coloring.
Over the years, Masskara
Festival developed complex ways of
presenting their traditions. Mask
designs at present have evolved
from plain and simple to very
ornate.
