Sangyaw Festival is a religious and socio-cultural event in the Philippines. It was revived in 2008 by the city government of Tacloban, Philippines. Sangyaw means "to herald news" in Waray language. Various festival-participants from different parts of the country participate in this tribal procession.[1] It was held a day before the city fiesta. The festival was first held in 1974[2] but was cancelled in 1987.[3]
