Festivals in the Philippines usually commemorate a saint thanks to our Spanish influence. One of the rare festivals to honor our country\u2019s past, however, still lives to this day: Antique\u2019s Binirayan Festival.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

REMEMBERING THE PAST. The Binirayan commemorates the roots of Antique\u00f1os.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The festival\u2019s date varies, with the last two festivals being held in December; but it\u2019s usually celebrated during the third week of April. It commemorates the roots of Antique\u00f1os: the Malays and the Atis, who were the island\u2019s first settlers.<\/span><\/p>\n

The festival re-enacts the story of the ten Bornean datus who fled to the island of Panay. Binirayan has evolved from a 3-day celebration to a month-long affair for the entire province of Antique.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of when it was celebrated, the festival always starts with the fluvial parade and re-enactment of the landing of the 10 Bornean datus. Highlights of the festival include the Lin-ay Kang Antique Pageant Night and the Malay-Ati Competition.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"malay-ati\"<\/p>\n

HISTORY, CULTURE, AND LIFESTYLE are showcased in the Malay-Ati Competition.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Malay-Ati Competition showcases the rich culture of Antique through its many cultural performances, which depict historical events, folk practices, and other ways of showing how the Malays and Atis used to live.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"lin-ay<\/p>\n

BEAUTY, INTELLIGENCE, TALENT, AND CHARACTER. These are the qualities you need to become Lin-ay Kang Antique.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Lin-ay Kang Antique Pageant is the province-wide search for their Ambassadress of Goodwill. It has been around since the first Binirayan Festival in 1974, and has always selected candidates with the goal of having them serve Antique\u00f1os as an ambassador of goodwill rather than their representative for national pageants.<\/span><\/p>\n
