The Dinagyang is a religious and cultural festival in Iloilo City, Philippines
held on the fourth Sunday of January, or right after the Sinulog In
Cebu and the Ati-Atihan in Aklan. It is held both to honor the Santo Niño and to celebrate the arrival on Panay of Malay settlers and the subsequent selling of the island to them by the Atis.
