Libod Sayaw Festival: A Feast of a Town’s Pride
Yearly on the last weekend of April, the streets of Negros Oriental will roar with the abundance of life and entertainment as its locals and visitors dance together to the beat of thanksgiving. As a means to offer their gratitude for the blessings they have accumulated within the year, the locals make it to a point that their festival will definitely be remarkable!
As what the tourists who had ventured in our country said, “The Philippines is a country of fiestas”. Being a country filled mostly of Catholics, especially in Luzon and the Visayas, you will never leave a town without seeing a church or even a chapel. These religious establishments are structured with pure grandiose for they are dubbed as ‘the house of God’ and a home to a patron saint as well.
Such is Saint Vincent Ferrer the patron saint of Bindoy, Negros Oriental, and the reason behind the vibrant Libod Sayaw Festival!
The Patron Saint
Saint Vincent Ferrer is the patron saint of builders, construction workers, plumbers, fishermen and orphanages. He became the patron saint of builders because he had helped build the Catholic Church with his preaching and missions. He started his studies in theology and philosophy when he was fourteen, but even before that, he already displayed interest in caring for other people’s welfare as he often distributed alms to the poor when he was young.
That is why during the feast of this patron saint, the locals of the town of Bindoy make sure that the Libod Sayaw Festival is a celebration worthy of the saint who endlessly ‘guides’ and ‘watches over’ them.
Mardi Gras
With the alluring beat, the colourful costumes worn and the swift and bold movements by the participants who had months and months of practice to perfect the entire dance, the Libod Sayaw Festival comes to life!
The entire festival is held around the streets of the town center. This is where the festival got its name. The term libod means “to make the rounds” while sayaw is vernacular for English word “dance”. In other words, Libod Sayaw refers to the street dancing that will happen the entire day around the town center. The town center will surely be packed of spectators coming from different places. In order to be able to view the parade without obstruction, you have to come to the area as early as possible. Remember, you are not the only one who wishes to witness the dynamic dances, a lot of people are there to secure a front seat too! So if you want to have a favourable and comfortable viewing place, be there before the event starts.
Complicated yet graceful choreography based on Philippine folk dances are being executed by the participants of the festival in order to showcase their understanding and appreciation of the reef’s importance to the town of Bindoy.
If you wish to witness firsthand the depth of the Filipino faith combined with a showcase of talents and indigenous creativity, then get ready to join the fun in Libod Sayaw Festival of Bindoy, Negros Oriental!
The Buglasan Festival of Festivals, which includes a grand showdown and a street dancing competition, is the province’s premier showcase of the socio-cultural heritage and uniqueness of each town and city in Negros Oriental and is held every October

This is such a wonderful presentation however it lacks negrensi spirit this is more a sinulog type and Mardegra where there's nothing wrong but negros festival is more on rural and way of living sa mga taga negros That is why bais and this failed to win.
