 During the Spanish occupation, the Spaniards had a strong effect on the Feast of the Guardian Angels in the Philippines. Their Catholicism is one notable feature that has left an indelible effect on the history of our country. Filipinos were once identified by their tribes and tribal groupings that worshiped various deities, but when we were conquered by the Spanish for 333 years, our culture adopted their religious rites and customs.

The Feast of the Guardian Angels is now one of Angeles City's yearly festivals. Every second day of October, a ceremonious procession of Guardian Angels' pictures is organized, accompanied by countless children from different schools dressed in lovely and elegant angel costumes. Kuliat Festival is the general celebration of Angeles City's Foundation Day, as well as the folk's means of expressing appreciation for the town's prosperity and continued growth thanks to the assistance of its Guardian Angels.
