Philippines - Negros - Fiesta in Siquijor Town

The Highlight of the island...One of our most memorable, unforgettable experiences, we've had whilst travelling....
Each & Every City, Town & Village in the Philippines have a special few days in the year, where the people of that place, celebrate their beloved Saint, each place celebrates the tradition slightly differently...
In Siquijor town all the residences open their doors to everyone, welcoming them with freshly made food & Drink... Honestly you can literally stroll into anyone’s home, sit at their dining table & eat!!!
After a lot of convincing that is exactly what we did!!! We rode through the town very slowly until someone waved us in! it didn’t take long....
