Sinulog festival comes every 3rd Sunday of January each year. This religious and cultural set festival is held in Cebu Philippines. This festival is the most popular religious event in the Philippines with an attendance of about two million people annually.

Considering that the Philippines is a catholic nation, most of their festivities have a religious background. Nevertheless, they are integrated with colorful city street parades as well as beautiful night parties making them quite inspirational and romantic.

The performance will make you enjoy that date with that girl you have met and if you want to engage or propose to her this is the perfect time and place. It is a perfect opportunity for you to visit this festival and enjoy the magic that it presents to all people who love such big and beautiful events.

Ati-Atihan happens the same day at the same time as the Sinulog but in a different place called Aklan. This widely adopted event in the archipelago is known as the mother of all Philippine festivities. It originated from the Aetas people who once settled on Panay Island. The attendants smother some charcoal ash on their faces during the celebration, to emulate those ancestors.

The main aim of this event is to commemorate their ancestors and honor Santo Nino. If you want to get to know the past in this aspect and enjoy the culture of the Filipinos, this kind of festival would bring you and your partner real joy and enjoyment.

3. Dinagyang festival

This festivity happens every 4th Sunday of January in Iloilo City. Like the other two, this celebration is meant to honor Santo Nino. It also has a historical commemoration of when Aeta sold Panay to Malay settlers centuries ago.

When you attend this large celebration, you will enjoy three major parts; the Ati Tribe Competition, Kasadyahan Cultural Competitions, and also the Miss Iloilo festivities.

If you want to attend it with your date, I would advise you probably attend the Ati Tribe Competition and see how talented dances own the streets with thumping drums bringing rhythmic choreography.
