      Akeanons/Aklanons as the the locals are called are highly literate. English and Filipino is widely spoken and understood. Akeanon/Aklanon is the dialect spoken which is radically different from the rest of the Ilonggo-speaking provinces in the Panay Island. Ilonggo and Kinaray-A is also spoken and understood albeit by a huge minority.

      Like the most Filipino cities, Kalibo is home to many street children, who may ask you for money (especially if you look western) with their palms out. Any money you give them may be taken by their parents or spent on drugs or cigarettes. If you really want to help them, buy them a nutritious meal or, better yet, a toothbrush and toothpaste (some corner stores ["sari-saris"] sell them). You can also donate to an aid organization. "Wala akong pera." is Tagalog for "I have no money."

      The renowned Ati-Atihan Festival is held every 3rd week of January, celebrated with frenetic dancing, and drinking to the wee hours of the morning. (Please see wikipedia article on this.)

      Aklan finally became an independent province when President Magsaysay signed into law on 25 Apr 1956, Republic Act 1414 separating Aklan from Capiz. This law was authored by Cong. Godofredo P. Ramos.

    • filter_dramaEat
      During the Ati-atihan festivals and the run-up to Aklan Day, Food festivals abound where seafood, and copious amount of pork and and beef are grilled and served al fresco at the town's main streets.
    • filter_dramaDrink
      Alcohol is cheap like everywhere in the Philippines. During Atiatihan festival, alcohol is very much readily available at supermarkets, convenience stores, corner stores, and literally alongside the road. The coldest beer in Kalibo--sometimes literally frozen--is at Lakapaya, a small restaurant/carinderia two blocks from the city plaza (pilsen for P25). Their P25 arroz caldo (rice soup) is excellent drunk food. For some local brew, tuba, (fermented coconut wine) is popular amongst the locals (usually in far-flung barangays) and might be worth the taste if you are offered one.

      Fruit juices are widely available and made fresh owing to the abundance and proximity of fruit-producing provinces including Aklan.

      Kalibo has several coffee shops. The cheapest is the Big Bean, located near the rotunda (which lights up like a Christmas tree at night) and next door to Chow King. Its best deals (as of Jan. '11) are the P35 espresso and the P55 espresso/Americano & pancake with egg or bacon. Between the rotunda and the airport is Latte, a swanky, western-friendly coffeehouse and restaurant (espresso for about P65). Be warned that, like most upscale restaurants in Kalibo, the service will be extremely polite but sometimes incompetent and often slow. There's also a smaller Latte in downtown Kalibo with sandwiches and espresso. The comparably-priced Third Cup is located in the city plaza, nearby. One place definitely worth checking out is Euro-Asia Bakery, located down the street from the plaza past the gay-friendly nightclub Mezzanine. It has a variety of breads without sugar added, plus brewed coffee for P40 (plus P10 for milk). They serve a decent but unspectacular American-style breakfast with tea, eggs, ham, and toast for P120.
      *Serve Healthy Drinks

    • filter_dramaStay safe
      Kalibo is relatively safe - although cases of pickpockets and an occasional brawl arises especially during the Ati-atihan festival rush where people from other provinces flood the town. Kalibonhons are naturally peaceful and religious folks.
