Abanao Square is a local mall in Baguio City and a consistent participant in the parade. This year, the theme of their float is a clown and their float was accompanied by clowns who do tricks before the crowd.

Panagbenga 2009 : Battle of Donuts
One might wonder why join a contest such as Panagbenga Float Parade where the cost of building a competitive float made substantially with fresh flowers far outweigh the prize to be won. I gather that you need to at least have a hundred thousand budget to make a float and the prize to be won if ever your in first place is only half of that.
But then again, for some participants, it isn't about the prize money but the exposure that your product will have just by joining the parade. Some sort of advertising where your products will be viewed not only by hundred of consumers who watched the parade live but also by those consumers who will hear about the parade on tv, radio, print and specially on the net.
And if you are competitors like Dunkin Donut and Mister Donut, you certainly do not want to be left out and in fact, you really want to out do each other. And for the spectators of Panagbenga 2009, that is certainly a good thing because these two participants certainly delivered and have become crowd favorites specially for the children during the festivities.

The Warmth of Camiguin
Literally, the place is surrounded and composed of seven volcanoes, one of which is still active. Some of the places I have visited here were witness to the horrific volcanic eruption that transpired more than two hundred years ago.
But more than its literal meaning, I believe that the "fire" in their saying is all about warmth. There is a warmth feeling of visiting white island and other grandiose natural places of the island. And more importantly, the warmth smile of the people there that will make you feel that you are instantly welcome to their place.
With this post, I end my brief Camiguin series and I do promise that I will be back in this beautiful island to explore more of its wonders. THANK YOU TO THE WARM PEOPLE OF CAMIGUIN!!!
