Almost all Filipinos love fiesta because it characterizes the diverse culture and tradition of the Philippines. It has become part and parcel of the Filipino culture even way way back the Spanish colonization. In fact, with much fanfare and activities, almost every baranggay, municipal, city or province celebrates fiesta as a way of showcasing the diversity and richness of Filipino culture and heritage.

Most of the time, fiesta celebrations serve as a venue for reunions, family gatherings and other social activities....the reason why Filipinos abroad always look forward returning to their hometowns.

Aside from being a cultural celebration, fiesta is also considered as a popular religious activity in different parts of the country, showing how pious the Filipino people are. Well it's an opportunity for Filipinos to celebrate the blessings of the Almighty.
