PINTADOS KASADYAAN FESTIVAL
4th week of June/Tacloban City, Leyte
The Pintados Kasadyaan Festival is held every month of June in Tacloban City. Back during pre-Hispanic years, tattoos signified courage among the natives of Tacloban. These days, they symbolize a cultural revival during this wild and wacky fiesta wherein the town residents deck themselves out in body paint, mimicking the warriors of old while dancing to frenetic beat of drums.
