YouTube’s Barbubrio captures the frenzy and pageantry of Ati-Atihan with a colorful combination of GoPro video and vibrant images. This festival has been happening in the Philippines since the 13th century and involves as much religious reverence as it does plumage and peacocking. So enjoy all the feathers, fur and signature sooted faces while remembering that this is also a Festival of Santo Niño, the Baby Jesus.
