The streets were closed, and people congregated in specific areas. The drums are pounding loudly and clearly. The street dancers are dressed brightly and loudly proclaiming "Viva Vigan!" Binatbatan Festival has grown to be one of the greatest cultural events in the Philippines' northern archipelago. Binatbatan Celebration, with its costumes fashioned of abel Iloko, a woven fabric unique to the Ilocos Region, is more than simply a festival. It showcases Vigan's rich culture and ancient industry.
Even while the epidemic continues, we continue to celebrate while adhering to health and safety measures to ensure that everyone may enjoy the event safely. The week-long Viva Vigan celebrations have both religious and secular importance. It all starts on May 1st, when the entire country celebrates Labor Day and Vigan remembers its own Isabelo de los Reyes. Binatbatan movement is linked to Vigan's abel Iloco manufacture. The film depicts how cotton cases are smashed with bamboo sticks to release the cotton lightening known as batbat from its seed. This event began in 2002 to highlight this traditional weaving technique that is claimed to have originated before the arrival of the Spaniards.
