We traveled from the Ceres Liner north terminal in #Bacolod City to #Cadiz. It was an hour and a half bus ride. To enjoy the 38th #Dinagsa Festival in Cadiz City.
This celebration honors it's patron Saint #Santo Niño de Cadiz every January. It's a week long celebration with the rhythmic beating of drums. Performers are painted in black portraying an "ati" performing rituals and dancing in #celebration of the feast of #Sto. Niño.
One of the most exciting activity in the festival is #"Lamhitanay" where people are roaming around the streets of #Cadiz to smother and wipe among each other.
So prepare to get dirty as saying "no" or getting angry at them is sort of an insult, giving a bad vibe to the festivity. Just bring an extra shirt and towels with you. If you don't like this, better stay at home.
We really had a great time here. We were covered with different colors of #paint and we danced to the beat of the drums. Everyone looks messy and dirty but this is not something we experience often, just once in a year so we just enjoyed this festivity.
Till the next #Dinagsa festival.
