cultural-religious celebration in Tacloban based on the body-painting traditions of
the ancient tattooed “pintados” warriors to honor the Santo Nino. The most
expected aspect of the festival are the festive dancers w ho are painted from head to
toe with designs that look like armor to resemble the tattooed ancient warriors. This
Pintados festival recalls Pre-Spanish history of the native Leytenos from wars, epics,
and folk religions. During the Spanish colonization, tattoos signified courage among
the natives of Tacloban. However, tattoos symbolize a cultural revival, a wild, and a
wacky fiesta. This is one of the highlights of the month long festival in Tacloban.
This is a must see and experience because it is not only a parade of one culture, but
it is a parade where other municipalities come to showcase their own culture. And
after the parade, a dance competition will be held where the municipalities battle it
out of who got the most beautiful, graceful, and stunning dances which incorporate
and tells the story of their home town. You will not only be amazed by it but it will
