Luyang Dilaw Festival

What a nice festival. But very early, mind you, 5 am. I has a live TV coverage by Unang Hirit (Ch. 7) headed by our Mayor and Madam Adelaide. She's so busy with Eagle, hehehe.
We got there in the plaza by 6 am na. What a sight to see- the Lakan-Lakambini contestants with their unique, almost weird gowns and costumes. Our club members are there in formal yellow dress. Yup, yellow is the color of the day, owing to the yellow ginger theme of the festival. I just wore a yellow shirt and jeans. Our fave llakambini is the pretty "Majika" lady complete with the well of Sabina as her skirt. She looks like a white butterfly fairy trapped in a well. When she got tired, she just sat inside the well, haha. Her escort carries two pails of water, go figure. I bought my mom along to see the event, we were near the police. Eagle hosted it for Unang Hirit up to 8:30 am. We got hungry we went home na rin before it ended. We ate Palabok Special. In the afternoon, there was the SM street dancing festivities but it rained a bit. I didn't join in there but I did enjoy our "yellow" town fiesta. :)
