I'm off to Baguio for the weekend to witness the 15th Panagbenga Festival which co-incide with the City's 100th Founding Anniversary. "Panagbenga" is a Kankana-ey term for "a season of blossoming". Kankana-ey is a language spoken by tribes in Benguet and Mountain Province. This festival is the reason for the influx of travelers in the City in recent years.
Let me leave with you some shots I have taken of the Festival last year:

ReplyDeletemissed panagbenga and baguio. and nevada square also.

Sounds fun and exciting!
ReplyDeleteMejo nailang lang ako dun sa Cebuana Lhuillier signage na naka-post dun sa isang float. :p
another colorful festival! i had a great time at Panagbenga a few years ago...love the flower floats. the last time i was at Panagbenga was the time when it rained so hard during the parade, the kids were shivering from the cold, and later it was reported that a lot of children got sick and parents complained. i hope the Panagbenga this year would be blessed with perfect Baguio weather. looking forward to your photos.

ReplyDeleteSame to you. Looks like a really colourful festival. Reminds me of the independence parade we have here in Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteIm sure Baguio will try to outdo the pomp and pageantry of last year's event. And we're all very lucky because you will be there to cover the event.
ReplyDeleteBe safe.

ReplyDeletea decade ago, sabay yung panagbenga celebration and the PMA alumni homecoming celebration. the traffic was sooo terrible. it's a good thing the city government separated these two events now.
