Higantes Escapade

Every November 23, the people of Angono, Rizal celebrates one of the country’s most unique fiesta: The Higantes Festival. This festival is celebrated on the fest day of San Clemente, the patron saint of the town of Angono. Once the procession starts, people from all walks of life join the revelry by splashing buckets of water to the procession-goers as well as to the onlookers. Giant effigies made of papier mache are also paraded to the streets.
