Our third day (Saturday) was one of the busiest of all the days while we were in Malaybalay City. It was the day of the Street Dancing of Bukidnon's Kaamulan Festival. You see, I was born in Malaybalay and grew up there but ever since we transfered to Manila I haven't been able to experience Kaamulan Festival anymore.
The street dancing was wonderful! It started too early though around 7AM so Alex wasn't able to watch it. We left her with my brother who was still sleeping. Anyway our house was just 5 minutes away from the main highway so in case Alex would need me, I can just run. LOL! How I miss the life in the province were everything is so near.
The Kaamulan Festival used to be celebrated on Septembers but (I think) due to the rains on September they transferred it to March which is good because we were able to watch it, after such a long time. So it's like hitting two birds with one stone when we went home to Malaybalay, celebrating Alex's 2nd birthday and at the same time seeing the Kaamulan Festival. :)
Hubby did a great job in taking some photos during the parade. He was lucky because he was able to join the official photographers there. LOL! Sometimes he would even go to the middle of the street just to take some photos. I will just let the photos speak...
We got a good spot too. We were at the place where supposed to be the Mayors are. LOL! But since they were not present we were able to take their seats.
It was a fun morning indeed! There were 8 floats who entered the contest. I'm proud to say that my Tita was one of the judges. Hehe! I can't remember exactly who won though but if I were her it would be hard to choose because all the floats and the dances were nice!
