The Paradise Philippines has earned worldwide fame as the “Fiesta Islands”, owing to its year-round cultural and social events. Mostly based around religious or historical personages, these paradise philippines events bare the heart and soul of our people through ritual and revelry.

Last june, one of the festival most favored by local and foreign tourist is the Paradise Philippines Pintados Festival in Tacloban City, Leyte’s grand festival of festivals, according to the department of Tourism. Celebrated every June 29, the highlight of the festivities was a street dancing parade and competition commemorating important paradise philippines events (such as the exploits of war and nature worship) in stylized dance movements incorporating local beliefs and practices.

Aside from being a pageant of cultural history, the Paradise Philippines Pintados Festival also extols the leyteno custom of tattooing, which is done in remembrance of the courageous pintados, or painted warrior ancestors.
