The Carabao Festival might attract those with Philippine Airlines flights to Manila this May to the town of Pulilan.
Each year, families gather their water buffaloes - or carabao - and anoint their animals in the church square.
Before this, the creatures are shaved and their bodies are massaged with oil and decorated with frangipani and hibiscus.
Those who travel on Philippine Airlines flights to the country can watch the procession of floats and trucks that accompany the beasts.
During the ceremony, the local priest blesses the carabao to ensure that they have good health for the coming year.
The festival takes place on May 14th and it is held to pay tribute to San Isidro Labrador in thanks for a bountiful harvest.
While in the province of Bulacan, vacationers might also want to visit the Enriquez Ancestral House, which was built in the 1850s and holds rare antiques and important historical artefacts.
