Panagbenga 2009 : Jeers, Cheers and Beers

Three of the floats who made their mark in this year's Panagbenga Float Parade where from Abanao Square, Jollibee and San Miguel Beer.

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.


Of course, everyone knows Jollibee - touted as the new Santa Clause. This year, Jollibee float was rather simple with a young Igorot joining Jollibee on top of their float.

The San Miguel Beer Float featured a giant pale pilsen made of flowers with real bottles of SMB used to adorn the float. Alyssa Alano of "Keys Me" fame stars in their float.

With these three participants, the celebration continued with jeers, cheers and beers!
