I’m sure many of you haven’t heard of a festival called Pintados de Passi yet. This unique festival is held every March 13 in Passi City, in the province of Iloilo.
The Pintados de Passi Festival recalls the life of the early settlers in the island of Panay. These men adorned their bodies with tatoo. Thus, these group of people were called the “Pintados” or “the Painted men”.
