CUISINE

Two main dishes associated with Aklan and Aklanons are inubaran and binakol.

Inubaran, also spelled inubaean, is a Filipinochicken stew or soup made with chicken
cooked with diced banana pith, coconut milk(gata) or coconut cream (kakang gata), a
souring agent, lemongrass, and various spices. The souring agent (called aeabihig) is
traditionally either batuan fruits (Garcinia morella) or libas leaves (Spondias pinnata).
The name means "[cooked] with ubad (banana pith)", not to be confused
with ubod (palm heart); although ubod can sometimes be used as a substitute
for ubad which can be difficult to acquire. Variants of the dish can also be made with
other types of meat or seafood. It is a type of ginataan.
Binakol, also spelled binakoe, is a Filipinochicken soup made from chicken cooked
in coconut water with grated coconut, green papaya (or chayote), leafy vegetables,
garlic, onion, ginger, lemongrass, and patis (fish sauce). It can also be spiced with
chilis. Binakolcan also be cooked with other kinds of meat or seafood. It was
traditionally cooked inside bamboo tubes or directly on halved coconut shells.

FESTIVALS

The province is known for its festivities which includes the Ati-Atihan festival in
Kalibo. Originally, the festival was to celebrate the treaty between the Ati and the
Malayan tribes who settled in the Island. The Ati live in the mountain regions and the
Malay people in the flatlands or close to the water. The festivity begins on the dry
season, at which time the Ati come down from the mountains to trade and celebrate
with the Malayan tribes. When the Spaniards settled in the region and converted the
Malays to their Christian religion, they asked the Malays to celebrate this festivity to
coincide with the Feast of the Santo Niño (Holy Child) which is usually held during the
third week of January.

Bariw Festival is a unique festival showcasing the skills of every Nabasnon in weaving
bags, mats and hats made of bariw leaves - the prospering livelihood in the
municipality. It is highlighted by the dance performance of local talent and ingenuity to
the beat of the drums and indigenous rhythm celebrated every May 14 of the year.

Bugna Festival is a festival showcasing the different locally produced products and
eco-tourism destinations of Tangalan like the marine sanctuary and coral garden, Afga
Point, Campo Verde, Jawili Falls, Bughawi beach and reforestation project every May
16 of the year.

Kali-Ugyon Festival (kali stands for Kalipayan or happiness and Ugyon meaning
"unity"). This is the festival celebrated in Libacao every December 30 to January 1,
costumed in modern and indigenous outfits bringing people together on the streets for
merry-making and to drive away evil spirits in the coming New Year.
