The Kalibo Ati-Atihan Management Board (KAMB), inspired by the outcome of this year’s festival, envisions to have a grander, more successful event next year.

During a press conference here Monday, Mayor Raymar Rebaldo said they are planning to maximize the local tri-media and tap other resources to promote the festival in honor of its patron saint Sto. Nino.

The recently concluded Ati-atihan festival held last week saw thousands of revelers attending it that even the festival organizers were surprised to note that the Sunday procession which usually lasts for four hours only has extended to seven hours.

“The recent Ati-atihan is also successful because of the peace and order. There is no casualty during the revelry,” said Rebaldo.
