Patao Bahandi Guild

10/04/2026

We’re incredibly proud of our Patao Bahandi Guild members who stepped forward and became part of this year’s Pataw Festival.

To every member of PBG who led, performed, and danced during the festival—thank you for showing up with courage and commitment. It’s not easy to stand in front of a crowd and represent something deeply rooted in culture, but you did it with both confidence and heart. You didn’t just perform, you shared your passion and inspired others to appreciate the stories behind it.

And beyond our guild, we also extend our appreciation to all the performers who took part in the celebration. Your presence and talent added life and meaning to the festival, reminding us that this is something we all build together.

This wasn’t just participation, it was a reminder of what a community can do when people choose to show up, share, and stand together.

All of this, for our love for Barangay Patao🥂
USWAG PATAO! VIVA PATAW FESTIVAL!
