The stakeholders in Boracay are busy preparing for the
upcoming Ati-atihan 2013 celebration on the island.
However, they are still ready to help the organizers of
Kalibo ati-atihan when it comes to the promotion of what is dubbed as the “Mother
of all festivals in the country”, the Sto. Nino Ati-atihan.
In an interview with Boracay Foundation Incorporated or BFI
President, Dionesio “Jony” Salme, he said that they are positive in promoting and
or introducing the mentioned festival to the tourists in Boracay to be a part
of it.
Even as they are also promoting Boracay’s own Ati-atihan
celebration which will be held this January 13, Sunday.
Salme also mentioned that the Management of Kalibo
Ati-atihan once asked for their assistance in encouraging the tourists to visit
and witness the festival.
Kalibo Sto. Nino Ati-atihan Foundation Incorporated or
KASAFI Chairman, Albert Menez previously admitted how they were hoping that the
tourists in Boracay would take part in their celebration.
However, as the influx of tourists in Boracay increases
every year, the opposite is happening with regard to the number of tourists joining
in the Kalibo Ati-atihan.
The Ati-atihan in Kalibo this year will be held from January
14 to 19.
