Panagbenga 2013 Moments

Blessed Sunday, everyone!

Back Towards The Light

"Nature is Healing. It helps us become grounded and centered and washes away the negativity - with its pure Positive Power and beauty.

Take some time to re-connect with nature .... sit and watch the waves if you live near the ocean and collect some shells. Take a walk .. pick some flowers .... little pebbles in a shallow stream bed ..or just sit in the park and enjoy the sunshine and the breeze. Lie down and look up at the sky and the floating clouds; At night look at the stars. Feel the sunshine warm your Soul. Take deep breaths of the fresh air and breathe in the fragrance of blossoms, the greenery and the Earth.

You will be amazed at how you feel - Balanced, energized, Positive, Calm with a loving sense of Serenity.

Take time out and give this priceless gift to yourself.

You Deserve it."

Sun hid under the gloomy clouds today, but downtown Session Road is in BLOOM!  It is the last day of the city's Annual Flower Festival or Panagbenga (A Season For Blooming) and practically everyone is over at downtown Session Road, the city's main thoroughfare where, for a week, it was closed to traffic as flower stalls and sidewalk cafes were set up along the road as musical performers  and bands shared their music and dance.

Synchronized spectacular fireworks display from five different locations will cap off the festival this evening.

Here are some moments captured by Lino Tabangin and Sir Ric Maniquis.

When people participate in the Panagbenga Parades, they eventually get high!
