time, the Dinagyang was known as “Iloilo Ati-Atihan.”

folkloric story about the Barter of Panay. The story revolves
around how 10 Bornean datus and their families fled a
tyrannical ruler in Borneo early in the 13th century and
sailed towards the island of Panay. When they arrived, the
Borneans bargained with the native Atis to occupy the
lowlands. To celebrate the barter, the Borneans painted
their bodies with soot and danced with the Atis. Because of
