DOT cannot and should not change the date. Kalibo Ati-Atihan, based on history, started way before Cebu celebrated Sinulog, and has been celebrated every 3rd Sunday of January ever since. I believe if there should be one to change the date, Sinulog should since they only patterned the festival from Kalibo’s Ati-Atihan. No offense to Cebuanos.

i dont think the date will be changed. the sched above is an official sched.

and I dont think DOT can simply chaNGE festival dates according to their wishes.

Ati atihan is celebrated on the 3rd sunday because its the feat day of Santo Nino.

hi!

i just would like to clarify if the dates for the ati-atihan festival have not been changed?

i heard that the DOT opted for different dates for ati-atihan and sinulog. I could not verify the news however.

have you heard anything to this effect?

thanks and would appreciate a speedy feedback!
