There are many stories about the history of the “Taong Putik”
Festival. Some of these are the Scriptural Beliefs and the
Story Version told by elderly people.
SCRIPTURAL BELIEF:
According
to the elderly residents, when you will base this festival
to the bible, people are just trying to be like St. John the
Baptist. For them St. John symbolizes dirtiness. As bible
says, St. John was full of mud and vines on his body when he
prepared the way for the Jesus and he welcomes his with this
appearance.
