aerial view of downtown cebu boasts of majestic mountainous background
the popular mardigras was well attended by people mostly from neighboring island provinces
everywhere is a photographer's dream shot
age of innocence:behind the abundance is the reality of poverty
colourful and gay
troublemaker should beware
grandiose and realistic costumes
juday among the champions
i was able to catch the famous pinoy smile among the participants representing their town's own produce and traditional danceIt was actually a rip-off from the oldest and queen of all festivals in the Philippine Soil-the Ati atihan- of Ibajay, Aklan.. Dinagyang of Ilo-Ilo followed suit, the Mascara of Bacolod, and name all the products or fruits unique in the Philippines and you're right-theres always a corresponding festival somewhere. Even Eggs had its own festival-poor San Jose, Batangas.. They could have thought of better way to showcase their town.. Capiz which was ever famous for ghosts/underworld creatures finally organized their own festival despite severe resistance from the Catholic Church.. Well its the Philippines, this is the only way we can show to the world our own culture and traditions in order to attract investors...for economic growth of course!
