IT is a known fact that Filipinos take their festivals and fiestas seriously as part and parcel of our culture.
The fiesta or feast commemorates a particular saint, and towns and cities have historically adopted one saint as their patron for one reason or another in place of the pagan gods they were used to honoring. In Jose Rizal’s Noli Me Tangere. Chapter 26 to 30 depicted the town’s festival in honor of its patron saint, San Diego de Alcala, whose feast day is the 11th of November.
Every town and city in the Philippines has a fiesta of its own; an excuse for locals to share their best food and their most potent potables with adventurous outsiders. Characterized by an abundance of food and merriment, not a single day will pass without a fiesta somewhere on the island.
