There will
be a more organized and well planned Boracay Ati-atihan celebration in 2014.
According
to LGU Malay Chief Tourism Officer Felix Delos Santos, the plan for the said
celebration has already been finalized during Friday’s meeting of the Municipal
Tourism office, Balabag Baranggay Council led by Hon. Lilibeth Sacapaño and the
Holy Rosary Parish Boracay led by Team Ministry Moderator Father “Nonoy”
Crisostomo.
The
celebration he said, aims to portray to the public Boracay’s devotion to Sr.
Sto. Niño and to promote the tradition and culture to the tourists.
Delos
Santos said, although the Boracay Ati-atihan will be celebrated the way people
are used to, it will be a little different.
This
difference he explained is in line with the contest which will be divided in 4
categories.
These are
the Tribal Category, Balik-ati Category, Commercial/Modern category, and the
individual Category.
The
festival will be celebrated next year on January 9 until the 12th which is the
highlight of the 2014 Boracay Ati-Ati celebration.
