Description
The quiet agricultural city of Iloilo in the Philippines is normally a peaceful place. But every January, the beating of drums awakens the sleepy town as it celebrates its devotion to the Santo Niño or Child Jesus.
The Dinagyang Festival was historically a solemn religious commemoration of the citys deep faith in the Santo Niño but it has now become a raucous contest of tribal street dance that is helping boost tourism in the country.
