Just came home from the CCP and the Quirino Grandstand where all festival contingents gather for the grand parade and awarding ceremonies. Despite of rain showers this evening, this year’s Aliwan Festival is once again a huge success. I was there to take pictures of the colorful floats and costumes. I can feel the excitement and energy of every delegates with all those smiles on their faces. While we are still waiting for the announcement of this year’s winners, I would like to share with you some of the photos me and my husband took this afternoon.
