The history of this celebration dates back to 1390 with the arrival of Rajah Baguinda from Sumatra Indonesia. He wanted to spread the Islamic religion and fortify the Sultanate form of government in the Philippines. While the natives of the country were not pleased with his arrival, faith bridged them together, leading to its commemoration every second week of August at Jolo in Sulu. The festival is a three-day revelry of cultural shows distinguished by participants’ colorful costumes– a picture of the culture of Sulu.  Read More:  http://primer.com.ph/blog/2018/07/29/list-philippine-festivals-celebrated-in-august/
