Boy yesterday was a blast! It is my first time to personally attend the Higante (Giants) Festival yesterday at Kalibo. I brought my 2 year-old daughter and hubby with me. This is the 2nd year that Ati-Atihan Festival hosted a Higante Festival. Municipalities from all over Aklan created their own entries and it was truly a sight to remember. I took some photos of the entries that was there and I want to share them with you!
Here’s the entry from Buruanga.
Here’s the entry from Kalibo. I personally like this too.. This is one of my top 3 bet 
This is the entry from Malinao. Loved the snake and the rat that the giant is holding. LOL
Entry from Nabas. They used their main product which is the “banig”. It’s a native wooven material.
This is from my hometown of New Washington. Since I am from here and I want to share this with all the people from New Washington. I posting more photos. Keep Scrolling down cause its fun to see our very own Giant!
The Dance Troupe from New Washington
The band! This group is being lead and managed by a good friend Brgy. Capt. Samuel Remigia. (He’s the one with a green hat).
Our Higante is riding a boat. Two things. New washington is a town by the beach and the main livelihood here (before) is fishing. But now a days most of the men here are working as a Seaman / SeaFarer abroad.
On a closer look… Did they create this giant after Pres. Obama? (LOL)
Hope you enjoyed looking at the pictures! This is a busy week here in the province of Aklan because of the Ati-Atihan festivals and I will be your eyes all throughout! Lets enjoy the festivities together.
A very colorful festival indeed! hope u had fun.
Seems like a lot of fun. I badly need a holiday.
Hi! I loved your pictures!

I’m from New Washington as well.
