Aliwan Festival 2009

25 April 2009

I went to the Philippine’s Grandest Fiesta earlier called the Aliwan Festival in its 7th year. It is held yearly in the CCP Complex vicinity in Pasay city.

It was a wonderful experience seeing contingents from different places around the Philippines joining the streetdance competition and the Grand Parade. Some of the popular ones are the Dinagyang festival dancers from Iloilo, Kadayawan of Davao, Sinulog of Cebu city, Panagbenga Festival of Baguio city and a lot more.

There’s also a Bazaar for the shopaholics, wherein native products from many places are for sale, starting from food, furnitures, accessories, etc..

My plan was to finish the parade which I expect to last til midnight, unfortunately, rain poured heavily so I was forced to go home coz I have my wife and my two little boys with me.
