Our 1st Massive Philippines Festival! Only Foreigners Here? AtiAtihan

[@BiancaBeyond]

We went to Kalibo Ati-Atihan Festival yesterday and wow! We have no actual number but up to 100k or more people there. And from what we saw were were the only foreigners? Tourists need to see this!!

[@wavemaker2077]

I thought Kalibo is near Boracay. Are the tourists in Boracay not aware of what is happening in Kalibo? Maybe the local government of Kalibo needs to advertise their festival. It seems that only the locals know that there is going to be a festival.

[@dcemt242]

Wait in january guys in iloilo..they have also celebrated the Dinagyang this year i think...the most underrated fiesta festival in the philippines...

[@BiancaBeyond]

@@dcemt242 we are so excited to see it

[@rickquimba4421]

Im confused i thought they normally do this ati atihan on the 3rd sunday of january... Or your video was recorded before??

[@lebroncurry5962]

It just an opening salvo,the celebration is on January 2023.Hope you can come back on the actual event.

[@charlsjosephflores8139]

Hello good day i recommend that go back in January for the actual ati-atihan it will be fun

[@gregkelly7692]

I have attended ati-atihan festival a couple of times amazed by the locals stamina for partying they keep going for a week . My wife comes from Camanci norte not far from kalibo always nice to be there

[@usersubscriberSC]

I think the Mardi Gras of Asia is the Sinulog Festival of Cebu City (every January). Be there during the grand parade and group presentation. Flower Festival called Panagbenga in Baguio City in February. Re-enactment of Passion and Crucifixion of Christ on Good Friday in Pampanga. Higantes. Festival in Angono, Rizal in November

[@roujel5506]

@@BiancaBeyond You are! at the beginning on 0:44 - 0:48

[@Yle-vp8vg]

It's about a celebration made by our Datus, which is our ancestors who escaped from Borneo who came to the island of Panay, to the Aetas tribe (small, curly and dark skin tribes) who already inhabited the island. To pay tribute to the friendliness of Aetas to them and provided the island to them. They created a feast and celebration through a dance which imitating them. Ati atihan means acting like Aetas.

[@genneltorres4500]

[@lex4422]

Ati Atihan, Dinagyang and Sinulog are all January Festivals. They are for the Señor Sto Niño or the babay Jesus. October is for Masskara in Bacolod.

[@niccoloarroyo4619]

That's only the opening salvo, the proper celebration is on third week of January 2023. Thank you for featuring our Ati - Atihan Festival and our very own Boracay Island in your KZbin channel.

[@bobbanks7275]

That looks amazing!! I would love to experience that one day. You did a great job on the video. Thanks for sharing Michael and Bianca.

[@marcairalclips2691]

The Main Highlights of the Festival Mr. Bob is on January 14-15, 2023. I hope you'll get there and experience the Colorful and Vibrant Festival. More Tribal Groups will appear on that said Date. Keepsafe Mr. Bob. See you.

[@ayessaloryang6956]

3rd week of January is the festival here in kalibo. A long week of celebration which each day is different and the best thing on that is you can dance before or after the bands.

[@paulignacio8435]

Hope you comeback on January the final ati atihan they have more colorful costume and you move enjoy more party and sadsad on January

[@asmrjackunboxinggames4328]

Atiatihan isn't really advertised because it's not meant to boost tourism. Just like Boracay, it was promoted by foreign tourists and not LGU's. The festival is originally a Pagan Thanksgiving Festival between the indigenous Ati People and the Malay Aklanons. As you can see, the spirit of this Festival is totally different to other Visayan Commercial Fetivals. Almost every town in Aklan has its own interpretation of Atiatihan Festival. It is really in the spirit of Aklanons and not a choreographed Festival to please tourists like those of Highly Urbanized Cities of Bacolod, Iloilo, and Cebu.

[@judethaddeustelmoso8892]

Please visit our Masskara Festival in Bacolod City, witness our grandiest parade on October 19-26,2022...and also our electric Masskara..

[@BiancaBeyond]

We are going to try to attend the festival, won't be able to make it this month we have guests flying into Boracay to stay with us. But aiming for January as long as it doesn't interfere with the Iloilo one

[@leethoo2684]

No one mention of bacolod maskara festival in the city of smile

[@BiancaBeyond]

Many many mention it to us, we think it's as well known as others?

[@mervyfaith4876]

Look at that! The locals are waving their hands! Everybody is awesome! I enjoyed this vlog! Thanks for touring us around the place! I also love attending festivals like Sinulog! 😘

[@paulignacio8435]

So sad i can't even to see you i was there. I can't even take a picture with you 😥 hope i see you around in boracay soon

[@BiancaBeyond]

We are here on Boracay now and anytime you are were we are feel free to drop us a message on Facebook!

[@2023Philippineeagle]

Actually, the ati-atihan festival in the Philippines was originated from kalibo aklan since 1960's

[@mangwinnow]

This is just an Opening salvo of the festival proper which will be held in January. Opening salvo marks the beginning of the festivities. and gives you a small glimps of what is about to come. The climax will be in January. Be sure to return and enjoy! :Hala bira! Viva Sto Nino!

[@marcairalclips2691]

Hoping to see you again on the 3rd Sunday of January. January 14 - 15 is the Highlights of the Festival. You can see there All the Tribal Groups. Keepsafe always Mate! See you on January.

[@RinyonKoPatotim]

You have to go back next year January that’s the main festival and you will gonna enjoy and love it😊

[@JEDI938]

Wait until you see the Iloilo;s Ati-Atihan/Dinagyang festival in January. There are different competing tribes. Each make their own costumes and they choreograph their own dance moves and drum beats! It also usually tells a story as to the origin of the festival and as to its adoration of the blessed baby Jesus( Sto. Nino). Try to get a seat at the main grand stand where you can see the different tribes compete in front of judges. Try to get there early in the morning though before the festival starts. You will not be disappointed!

[@cybiryan]

I miss those fiestas, we have Masskara in Bacolod and I miss burning calories just walking around and enjoying the festivities. Don't worry bout some of the audience covering their faces when in focus, they are friendly but some may have ditch an appointment or classes lol, and they just don't want to be seen or they get in trouble when they get home lol. Enjoy! How fun!

[@Y.playz2]

[@angelotimonera7967]

Hello Bianca and Mike, nice you visited Aklan but the real Ati-atihan celebration is next year on the Feast of Sto. Ninõ on January. It is just a prelude of the real celebrations but during day of the event, all blackened competitors are all dressed up in their unique home town costumes with different drum sound beats and dance. Anyway great to see it ahead of time to experience the fun! And just for info .... my family is from MAKATO AKLAN!

[@jpt8436]

This is not yet the festival proper, it is only an opening event to let the public know about the upcoming festival which will be held on every 3rd week of january. The festival would last for about a week where you can see people dancing on streets from morning til evening. Hope you'll able to come back by that time and i assure you it would be more festive and fun

I love Ati-atihan, they're the original and Mother of all Philippines Festivals.. but for Mardi-grass Vibe I prefer Sinulog of Cebu while Tribal vibe for Dinagyang of Iloilo. Those two Festivals are I'm dying to attend. Sinulog is so much Fun, vibrancy and Festivities, while Dinagyang is Tribal vibe, cultural and well presented. We also have Festivals here in Vigan in May guys but not as big as in Visayas but it's enjoyable too.
