In the Philippines, Filipinos love to have fun, and it is obvious in the way they celebrate fiestas or festivals. Fiestas or any community celebration usually feature music, dancing, and food feasts, and they are considered special opportunities for people to extend hospitality and friendship to one another. 

 Cabuyao used to be known as the "richest municipality in the Philippines" because of the large populace of migrants working in the town's industrial estates. Others doesn't know that this town has a lot of products, attractions, beliefs and feast to be proud of.

 Cabuyao is known for it’s festival named “Batingaw Festival” a festivity commemorating the legendary Kampanang Ginto. The celebration always starts with the simultaneous ringing of church bells, which Cabuyeños believe that it brings good agricultural harvest.

The Batingaw Festival is celebrated annually from January 10 to 16.

The festival starts with a parade of the Kampanang Ginto, floats and a motorcade of vehicles.  It is participated by the local government, Cabuyao’s eighteen barangays, public and private schools of different levels, and business establishments in the city.  During the joyful week, activities such as street dancing, trade fair exhibits and singing contests are done.
