More than just an annual festivity, Ibajay Ati Ati is Ibajaynons way of celebrating of Infant Jesus' blessing for the past year and the years to come. Unlike in Kalibo, it is not only the street dancers that are being waited in anticipation by pilgrims and spectators but also the fabulous floats of each barangay. The floats are creatively decorated by agricultural products to showcased their main sources of livelihood.This is another reason why IT'S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES
