Dinagsa Festival Schedule of Activities
Contents
Just like many provinces that celebrate a festival in honor of the Sto Nino every January, Cadiz City has its unique rendition of this event, dating back to the year 1972.
Known as the Dinagsa Festival, this vibrant celebration was conceived by members of the Samaria House Council of Cadiz City, a lay religious organization within the Catholic Church. The term “Dinagsa” was crafted about a historical incident when numerous whales washed ashore in the city; “dagsa” translates to driftage. This occurrence has also bestowed upon Cadiz City the moniker “The City of Whales.”

“Dinagsa” emerged as a response from the church council to a prevalent local custom where, instead of paying homage to their Patron Saint, residents engaged in activities like gambling and cockfighting. In a proactive effort to redirect the focus towards expressions of gratitude and praise, the founding fathers of Cadiz Ati-Atihan, led by Msgr. Vicente Salgado, the then Parish Priest of the Sto. Niño Parish sought to create a celebration that truly honored their Patron without the need for such activities. This initiative marked the historic inception of the Cadiz City Ati-Atihan Festival.

A distinctive highlight of this festival is the “Lamhitanay sa Dalan,” where revelers willingly embrace the smudging of latex paint on their faces. This stands in contrast to the Sinulog in Kabankalan, where festival-goers traditionally use charcoal to mark their faces.
A friendly reminder: wear attire that you wouldn’t mind getting stained or ruined by the paint during the festivities.

“Dinagsa” was a result of the reaction of the church council to the usual habit of the locals that instead of offering homage to their Patron Saint they would rather engage in gambling/ cockfighting. The founding fathers of Cadiz Ati-Atihan thought of a way by which the feast of their Patron may be truly celebrated by acts of gratitude and praises, rather than by cockfights. These founding fathers, led by Msgr. Vicente Salgado, the then Parish Priest of the Sto. Niño Parish made history. It was then that the Cadiz City Ati-Atihan Festival came into being.

Preservation of culture and arts are important because just like our subject, we are taught of different things we may be aware but didn’t fully comprehend their meaning and importance so as we learned it, we preserve and follow it, and that gives life to the subject just like the culture.

We are uniquely living our lives because we are influenced by our culture and it has meaning to us. Third, in order to preserve it. Culture is something that’s been inculcated deep in our hearts and souls, it has been part of our life so we preserve it and teach the incoming generations what we believed in.

In that, we can give them appreciation for preserving the historic events that gives a mark that makes us a Filipino. This shows how expressive we are and how we are thankful for all who build and sacrifice for good future generation to come.

Understanding corporate culture is important because first reason is that, you will know the real meaning of this words and in that case, you will gain a lot of knowledge about the differences of every culture from different places/cities. Second, you will be able to identify the original place/home of a specific person based on what he/she believes and their behaviors. Third is that, you will be able to know and identify what specific place/city has that kind of culture based on its festival every year. Let's say for example, in Cadiz City, we are known for our cultural festival that we called dinagsa festival and this happens every year, just like other cities, they have also their own amazing and exciting festival that they celebrate every year and that is culture.
