Pintados-Kasadyaan
Celebration in Tacloban, Philippines
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pintados Festival is a cultural-religious celebration in Tacloban, Philippines, based on the body-painting traditions of the ancient tattooed "pintados" warriors.[1] In 1986, the Pintados Foundation, Inc. was formed by the people of Tacloban to organize this festival in honor of Señor Santo Niño.[2] Years later, it was merged with the Kasadyaan Festival which is always held on June 29.[3]
History
"Pinados," or "piatos people," is a term that refers to the native Filipinos who Spanish colonizers encountered in the 16th century.[4] Centuries of Spanish occupation affected Filipino culture and much of the history surrounding tribal tattoos is concentrated on the Visayan (including the people of Tacloban) and Igorot peoples.[4] Due to their relative isolation, ethnic groups such as the Ifugao have resisted Spanish cooptation more so than others in the Philippines.[5]
Events
The Pintados-Kasadyaan festival includes multiple events throughout the celebration. These events are called the Festival of festivals of Leyte, the Ritual Dance Presentation of Pintados Festival, and the “Pagrayhay” during the Grand Parade.[6]
