Cebu is home to the Sinulog, which is considered among the grandest festivals in the whole archipelago. But, Cebu has more festivals to offer to visitors looking for something less grand yet still as fun. A good number of the towns in Cebu have their own festivals celebrating something significant in the town. For the City of Bogo, their festival celebrates the delicacy known as the pintos.

The pintos is a local delicacy that is made of ground corn, margarine or butter and milk. This popular delicacy is wrapped inside corn husk. The delicacy is cooked by soaking it in boiling water for around an hour. The delicacy was also used as the inspiration for the Pintos Festival in Bogo City. The Pintos Festival served as the replacement of another festival known as the Kuyayang Festival. The older festival is based on a traditional courtship dance.  Read More:  http://www.peanutbrowas.com/blog/celebrating-good-harvest-through-the-pintos-festival-of-bogo

The Caballo Festival is dedicated to the town’s parton saint, Señor Santiago de Apostol. The festival is celebrated through street dancing, which involves the performance of the three basic Caballo steps.

According to the legend, during a battle between Christians and Muslims, the townsfolk were claimed to be saved by an apparition riding a horse. The apparition eventually became Compostela’s patron saint.

Caballo, the Spanish term for “horse,” eventually became the festival’s name.  Read More:  http://www.localphilippines.com/events/caballo-festival
