2. Worked Example
The Pintados Festival is a cultural-religious celebration in Tacloban, Philippines, based on the body-
painting traditions of the ancient tattooed "pintados" warriors.
[1]
In 1986, the Pintados Foundation, Inc. was formed by the people of Tacloban to organize this festival in
honor of Sr. Santo Niño.
[2]
Years later, it was merged with the Kasadyaan Festival which is always held on June 29.
[3]
"Pintados," or "painted people," is a term that refers to the native Filipinos who Spanish colonizers
encountered in the 16th century.
[4]
Centuries of Spanish occupation affected Filipino culture and much of the history surrounding tribal
tattoos is concentrated on the Visayan (including the people of Tacloban) and Igorot peoples.
[4]
Due to
their relative isolation, ethnic groups such as the Ifugao have resisted Spanish cooptation more so than
others in the Philippines
More than just celebrating the feast of the Santo Niño, this festival also commemorates the pre-Spanish
tradition of tattooing among warriors locally known as pintados
The tattoos themselves were motifs inspired by nature. For men these motifs were seen as symbols of
bravery and fierceness in battle, and for women these were symbols of beauty and fertility.
