ATI-ATIHAN IN FULL COLOR. Every step is a prayer, and every beat is a celebration of heritage. From the towering headdresses to the rhythmic chanting, the “Mother of All Philippine Festivals” proves that our culture is as loud and proud as ever.
As a proud partner of this year’s festivities, Solane remained steadfast in its commitment to empowering local households and food establishments including food kiosks with the gold standard of LPG safety. By ensuring every tank was ‘Solane-safe’ and every kitchen was secure, the brand protected the traditions of the Philippines’ most iconic festival. This dedication allowed the joy of the ‘Sadsad’ to continue uninterrupted, providing participants with the peace of mind needed for a truly worry-free celebration.”
The Heartbeat of the Feast
The spirit of Ati-Atihan was felt in every colorful exhibit and every rhythmic step of the street dance competitions. As the float parades through the city, the true engine of the festival was found in the kitchens and street stalls preparing sumptuous meals for all festival attendees. Recognizing that safety is the most important ingredient in any celebration, Solane fully supported the festivities by providing reliable LPG solutions. Their mission was simple: to take the worry out of the kitchen so that families and vendors could focus on the joy of the event.
“HALA BIRA”, LIGTAS SA FIESTA. While the streets of Kalibo erupted in the rhythmic “Sadsad” and thunderous drumbeats of the Ati-Atihan Festival, Solane was proud to be at the helm of the kitchen, ensuring every celebration was as safe as it was vibrant.
Behind the Scenes: The Power of Safety
Solane’s partnership with the festival highlighted a vital truth: best celebrations are those where one can lose themselves in the music, knowing there is total confidence in the kitchen.
To support the immense LPG needs of every household during this busy season, Solane offered a special promo on their Sakto 1.4kg cylinder stove sets, the brand’s portable, convenient and affordable LPG option that is perfect for Filipino’s modern and outgoing lifestyle. Beyond the festivities, Solane showcased its 11kg cylinder, celebrated as the essential household companion for every family’s daily meal. Both Solane products was made available through their dedicated local showrooms.
This initiative, paired with the brand’s signature 7-Point Check, ensured that every tank was installed correctly and performed at its peak. Even during the height of the ‘Sadsad’ when orders were flying in, Solane provided the steady, reliable heat required for marathon cooking sessions, ensuring that the festivities never missed a beat.”
