About Kahilwayan Festival/Cry of Santa Barbara

Kahilwayan is an Ilonggo expression that implies opportunity or freedom and Santa Barbara's social celebration portrays the part of the Ilonggos in the noteworthy uprising against Spain. The town's Kahilwayan Festival features in a move show the arrangement of occasions that prompted the open affirmation of the unrest in the Visayas that is presently known as the Cry of Santa Barbara.

The raising of the Philippines banner by progressive powers drove by Gen. Martin T. Delgado in Santa Barbara on November 17, 1898 flagged the beginning of the insubordination to Spain in the Visayas and Mindanao. It is a declaration of the dauntlessness and gallantry of the Ilonggos who transparently demonstrated their resistance against Spanish oppressors. So critical was the part of this uprising in Philippine history that Santa Barbara was the main region outside Luzon that was proclaimed as a National Trunk Site in the Centennial Freedom Trail amid the Philippine Centennial Celebration in 1998.

In 2001, the Municipal Government headed by then Mayor Isabelo Maquino propelled the Kahilwayan Festival as an inventive method for retelling the account of the Cry of Santa Barbara. It is gone for grabbing the eye of neighborhood people as well as outside vacationers as well. The Kahilwayan Festival highlights many understudies garbed in vivid period outfits rayadillo, saya, kimona, and camisa chino contending in road moving and theater to the tune of the Marcha Libertador formed by Delgado's sibling Posidio.
