Another judging stint for your blogger!
Today, I will be flying to Bacolod City to attend and judge the Pasalamat Festival Queen 2015 contest in La Carlota City which will have its finals tonight.
Pasalamat Festival in La Carlota City, Negros Occidental, Philippines is based on the tradition of giving thanks to gods of elements after a bountiful harvest by the ancient of Buglas. The city takes on a festive atmosphere during the weeklong celebration, which culminates with a Mardi Gras like parade of floats and caricatures. Dancers flirtatiously move to the rhythm created by the drumbeaters using carabao leather drums and percussion instruments made out of indigenous materials. – Ed Joven/bacolodtravelguide.com
