San Agustin Church

This is a shot I took of the San Agustin Church in Intramuros, Manila for a wedding. It was a gloomy Sunday afternoon and it rained too.

Dinagyang, Iloilo

The Dinagyang contigent from Iloilo has probably one of the best organized costumes. It’s because the headdress for the girls were made from curly wigs. Add to the black face make-up and they all look the same.

Aliwan Fiesta

Participants always loved to get their pictures taken. Others would even show their best pose to display the beauty of their costumes, like this girl in the picture.

Aliwan 2008

The best part with Aliwan Festival is that you don’t need to go all around the country to witness all of these events. They are all right there, in a single day, and all you need is go around and make friends with the participants to get their pictures.
