I missed the Pulilan Carabao Festival today. The parade started at 2 p.m. but I was still voting here in San Fernando, Pampanga. I guess though, with the elections set today, the celebration in Pulilan would not be as grand as last year. So I was content with looking at photos taken by Sidney Snoeck from last year's festival, held annually every May 14 in honor of San Isidro Labrador whose feast day is tomorrow. (Photos courtesy of Sidney Snoeck)Don't miss the happenings in Quezon tomorrow which include the Pahiyas Festival in Lucban, Mayohan in Tayabas, and Agawan in Sariaya. I also heard the celebration in Gumaca is another must visit. From May 17 to 19, the streets of Obando, Bulacan will be alive with devotees doing the traditional fertility dance.

Nice design, Ivan! I might hire you to make my portfolio!
ReplyDeleteI hope you voted for the right persons! I wish the Philippines will catch up and eradicate poverty in this country.
Thanks for the photos Sidney! I'm proud to have voted in Pampanga. As of tonight, I heard Fr. Ed is winning for governor. :)

ikinalulungkot kong `di mo nasaksihan ang napakagandang carabao festival. ako si ian alfonso, lokal na mananaliksik ng Bulacan State University-Bahay Salikisikan ng Bulacan (BulSU-Center for Bulacan Studies). isa sa mga proyekto ngayon ng aming lugar ng pananalikisk ay ang tipunin ang 20 makukulay na pagdiriwang sa bulacan, at ito ngayon ang aming pinagkakaabalahan. ninanais namaing ihabol ito sa buwan ng bulacan o singkaban festival sa agosto at setyembre. kung nais mo'` maari kang bumisita sa center namin ng anumang oras. natutuwa ako't isa ka sa tagapagpakilala ng makulay na kalinangan, kultura, at sining ng bulacan at gayundin ng buong pilipinas. maari mo rin akong i-e-mail sa macabebe2006@yahoo.com.ph, bulsu_bsb@yahoo.com, o sa bulsu_bahaysalikikanngbulacan@
ReplyDeleteyahoo.com.ph. pero matanong ko lang, ikaw ba'y researcher din sa juan d. nepomuceno center for kapampangan studies? kasi parang narinig ko na ang pangalan mo. visiting researcher din ako ng kapampangan dahil kapampangan din ako pero pusong bulakenyo. basta ipagpatuloy mo lang ang napakaganda mong hangarin at suportado kita dyan dahil isa rin ako sa tagapagsulong ng kagandahan ng pilipinas. magandang umaga!
