Haladaya Festival


Another high-end contender every Pasigarbo sa Sugbo celebration is the Haladaya Festival from Daanbantayan, Cebu.
This festival is honored every August 28. 


The emphasis of this festivity is to reminisce the heroic activity of their Datu Daya , who defended the natives from the Moro pirates. The term haladaya means, "Halad Kang Datu Daya!" or an offering for their Datu Daya. This is why the natives show their gratitude via dance and this ritual is passed on until present time.
