The celebration of the Filipino festivals are mostly religious, due to their strong belief to Catholic Christianity. There are countless numbers of saints which they celebrate their birth, death and even goodworks. Almost each barangay(village) celebrate their own patron Saint in order to receive good luck and curing illnesses. Few festivals like Zamboanga Hermosa Festival and Pinta Flores Festival are rather colorful. These are celebrated ever since pre-colonial times due to inspiration and attraction for tourists, local residents and likewise. There are festivals that have boat races, musical and athletic events.

Filipinos are known for their joyous celebration called fiesta. Fiesta is when they gather with their family and friends to honor their patron saint. In the Philippines, fiesta doesn't just occur on one day. Every town celebrates it with their own day. For example, one town celebrates in on November 25 while the other celebrates it on may 5.
