I hope someday I can visit all the festivals and fiestas in the Philippines!
Thanks for the information. I'm going to send this to my co-teacher as he will be attending Panagbenga on the end part of the month.
Thank you for the given schedule of the festival. Can't wait to visit the place and roam around! :)
I haven't visited Baguio during Panagbenga because whenever we plan to go, the hotels are already fully booked and we can't find any accommodation. I guess we'll just plan ahead of time next time.
I always plan to see this feast even its just a 6 hours drive but I always end up in other place every year. :))
Baguio is my hometown but I've missed this events for several years now. It just gets too crowded during this month there. The minion float looks really cool.
Jojo, I can tell from your picture colection that Baguio is a very beautiful city and worth paying a visit.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I haven't been to Baguio and I would love to see all those flowers and floats! ^_^
Thank you sir
