Panagbenga 2009 : COLOURS

It is the time of the year when people from all walks of life and from different places flock to Baguio City to watch and join the Panagbenga Festival. Now on its 15th staging, this year's festivities co-incide with Baguio Centennial Celebration so everybody is expecting that this will be the grandest parade the City will undertake. The Grand Parade was held on Saturday (February 28) and the Float Parade was on Sunday (March 1), and I must say that this year proved to be one of the biggest crowds of spectators I have ever seen in years. So without further ado, let me share you the pictures I have taken in this year's parades.



Girls on Golden Masks

Costumes with The Colors of Rainbow

Orange and Yellow Dominate This Scene

Pretty Lady Butterfly

Ladies Done in Native Colors

Hues of Blues and More

Attires in Greens and Yellows
