Nino. Well you see, Philippines is a Catholic country and Filipinos celebrate different festivals to honor saints. Two of the most known religious festival is the Sinulog of Cebu and Dinagyang of Iloilo. And since we love celebrating, we also do have festivals of different kinds like festival of flowers (Penagbenga of Baguio) and many other stuff. The festivals alone are good reasons to visit Philippines.

But even if it is just a single storey museum, it showcases its Ilonggo pride through the exhibit. They also feature an Ilonggo artist every once in a while to show every tourist how talented Ilonggo's are.
