*Santa Martha Festival - Pateros, Rizal
Save for that notorious delicacy known as balut
(duck's embryo), most people find little reason to
visit the municipality of Pateros. All this,
however, changes on the morning of the festival. The
Santa Martha River Festival, a day-long fiesta of
swaying statues borne by dancing devotees, gives the
neighboring Metro Manila residents a good excuse to
drop by.

Oriental
24 July, Feast of Señor Santiago de Compustela. As
part of the two-day festival, teams of dancers visit
