Bullfighting is a unique part of Filipino culture.

While most people think of Spain when they hear about bullfighting, it is a universal truth that wherever Spanish influence has been felt on culture, there has also been a love of bullfighting. The same can be said for the Filipino city of Iloilo. Located in the heart of the Philippines, Iloilo is host to a festival of bulls on the third Saturday of every January.

The Festival of Pasungay brings thousands of spectators, from around the world, together to watch hillside outdoor bullfights. The cheering crowds create a vibrant atmosphere for bulls to fight. The unique tradition of bullfighting and matadors is also celebrated. Spectators from around the world come to this exciting Filipino city for a taste of this dangerous sport, with its roots deeply buried in the culture and traditions of the people. Bullfighting is a heart-stopping event for many to witness and can be quite brutal but it is also a unique part of the culture of the people here.

The spectacle of the flamboyant matadors, with blood red capes taking on a powerful bull in the middle of a ring with nothing standing between them, creates a dramatic image. Visitors to Iloilo have the opportunity to see this unique sport in person during a trip to this Asian city.

The Festival of Pasungay has been happening in this city for many years and continues to be one of the most anticipated in the entire region.
