Dancers from the province of Isabela perform during the annual Aliwan Festival in Manila, which depicts various religious celebrations in the country, in 2017. Many towns and villages in the Philippines are now in the thick of celebrating Flores de Mayo , a centuries-old Catholic festival in honour of the Virgin Mary held during the month of May.
Townsfolk choose the prettiest ladies, dress them in gowns and hold a procession before a night Mass at the local church. The town mayor usually sponsors the event, sometimes hosting a dinner party. An example of secular fiesta in the province is the Buntal Hat in Baliuag town, celebrated every second week of May.
The Obando Fertility Dance festival is famous for married women who want to have a child. It is held for three days from May 17 to 19.He added that even movements of dancers and participants are similar to biblical dances recorded in the Old Testament, like the dance of King David. The Kneeling Carabao festival, on the other hand, is held on May 14 in honour of St Isidore of Labrador, the patron saint of farmers.
