The Binalbal Festival is an annual festival held on the first of January in Tudela, Misamis Occidental, Philippines.〔http://www.experiencephilippines.ph/LM/events/id-1232600165703.html〕 It is a unique celebration of welcoming the new year for the townsfolk of Tudela. Participants are disguised through the use of masks shaped like demons which allow them full freedom of inhibition during the new year celebration. In the celebration, people or spectators wear masks and outfits that would represent their own definition of ''Balbal'', from which the name of the festival derived. ''Balbal'' from the local dialect, which is Cebuano, refers to a supernatural genus of strange-looking lifeforms: imps, witches, ogres, and the likes of them.〔http://sendorero.blogspot.com/2009/01/binalbal.html〕 Very much like a giant Halloween costume party, where many revelers are clad in very gory costumes. ==The Celebration== December 30 to January 1 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Binalbal Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
