Higantes Festival

Giant figures paraded in honour of Saint Clement

Giant papier-mâché figures move through the streets of Angono in the Philippines, carried by people hidden inside. The parade expresses gratitude to Saint Clement, the town’s patron saint. Local folklore also connects the figures with protest against landowners during Spanish rule, giving the celebration both religious and social meaning.
