Through good times and bad times, the fiesta must go on. Each city and barrio has at least one local festival of its own, usually on the feast of its patron saint, or merely as an affirmation of human bonds and a toast to a good life so that there is always a fiesta going on somewhere in the country. Join us as we bring the fiesta to the Conference, with singing, dancing and an abundance of food done the Filipino way.
