The Philippine Festival
The fiesta is part and bundle of Filipino culture.
Through good times and bad times, the fiesta must go on. Each city and barrio
has at least one local festival of its own, usually on the feast of its patron
saint, so that there is always a fiesta going on somewhere in the country. But
the major and most elaborate festival of all is Christmas, a season celebrated
with all the display and show the fun-loving Filipino can handle.
