In a world where many customs and beliefs are built in, I am proud to be a citizen of a country here people are known to be warm and hospitable, Philippines.  

Filipinos are fond of ?Fiestas. ?This simply means, ?a gathering or a celebration. ?This is one custom I would like other countries to adopt because it pulls people closer and it serves to enlighten us to relive our culture. The Philippines is an archipelago with 7200 islands and almost all of the islands conduct a fiesta once a year.  

An example of a fiesta is the Panagbenga which is done every February in time for the summer season in Baguio City where people from all walks of life joins the parade or floats of flowers, highlighted with street dancing, concerts and fireworks. The native of this city came up with this kind of fiesta to thank God for giving abundant harvest of flowers. Panagbenga is just an example of a fiesta in my country. To name some, we also have the Ati-Atihan festival, the Maskara festival and the like.  

Fiestas have truly become a part of the Filipino people`s customs and tradition that would never fade because of the spirit of joy, fun and excitement that thrills not only us but also the tourists who also takes time to visit our country.
