I've been swamped with work since I got back from my weekend trip 2 weeks ago, so my apologies for this late post. A while back my friend Tong invited me to come celebrate her husband's birthday in Kalibo (the same weekend as the town's festival called the Ati-atihan) with their family and as I have never been to the Ati-atihan I immediately said yes. For those who've never heard of this festival, Ati-atihan is an annual feast held every January in honor of the Sto. NiƱo (baby Jesus), traditionally the celebration includes a weekend of parade with tribal dancing and music. Seeing as I was not a catholic this to me was a full weekend of street partying and drinking and what better way to start the new year with a bang. Here are a few photos of my great weekend!
