Energetic marching bands, processions of patron saints, sumptuous foods, lively parades, colorful floats, vibrant costumes, amateur singing or dancing competitions, competitive street dancing showdowns, beauty pageants, miss gay competitions, local makeshift shopping stores that come from different parts of the province, and many more. These are just some of the views that a Filipino fiesta has. Fiestas has been a long tradition that we got from our ancestors even before our Spanish colonizers arrived, they are rooted with religious beliefs of thanking the village’s (or town) patron saint or deities for blessing the place with abundance of resources. Fiestas also show some traditions of offering to nature as a way of gratitude or sacrifice. Fiestas are celebrated from the smallest level of governmental body (barangay/village) to national level. In this essay, I will be discussing the benefits of fiesta from different levels of society in our country; national, provincial/city, and barangay level.
