SINU-OG ESTOKADA

The Sinu-og Estokada Festival of the Municipality of Jagna is held every 29th of September. The festival portrays the victory of the Christian militia over the marauding pirates and likewise depicts the celestial conflict of good and evil. Estokada means fencing or fightinh with bladed instruments. The fencing movements were modified to keep in time with the beat of the drums. The highlight of the festival is the street dancing competition where participants are deressed either as good or rebellious angels.
