The letter “K” stands as a symbol of resilience and insight, and it fittingly anchors Iloilo’s premier cultural events: “Kasadyahan” and “Kabanwahanan.” “Kasadyahan sa Kabanwahanan” is the FESTIVAL OF FESTIVALS, a vibrant showcase of Iloilo tourism, offering a DISPLAY WINDOW into the soul of this dynamic province. This festival brings to life the colorful tapestry of Iloilo with its rich culture, unique customs, and treasured traditions, all under the umbrella of the province’s new tourism catchphrase: “FUN, FOODIE, FRIENDLY ILOILO.”

This mantra is a perfect match for the province’s vision encapsulated in “MoRProGRes Iloilo,” the Movement for a Robust, Progressive, Globally-competitive, and Resilient Province of Iloilo in Bagong Pilipinas.
