ABOUT BACOLOD MASSKARA FESTIVAL
The Bacolod Masskara Festival is being celebrated every fourth Sunday of October. The word Masskara means a multitude of smiling faces which is the highlight of the festival, specifically featuring smiling faces of masks for the city is well-known as the city of smiles.
This was originally started in the year 1980 and is still being celebrated up to this present time. It emerged during a time of crisis. The locals rely on sugar cane as their primary source of living in the aspect of agriculture. Because of the trend of newly released high fructose corn syrup from the USA, the local business of the people became difficult so much so that they do not anymore earn their basic earnings just like before. Aside from that, it is also a tragic beginning since on the 22nd of April that same year, the inter-island vessel MV Don Juan with a lot of Negrenses passengers and the well-known families of Bacolod City collided with the tanker of the Tacloban City. Due to this, the MV Don Juan sank in Mindoro on its way to Bacolod coming from Manila. This tragic and unfortunate event took 750 lives in total. To uplift the spirit of the citizens and to once again create a lively spirit in town after the tragic events, the City Mayor Jose Montalvo proposed the beginning of the “Festival of Smiles” or commonly known nowadays as the Masskara festival.
The highlight of the Bacolod Masskara Festival is the street dance competitions. Locals per Barangay are free to form their respective groups and participate in the said competition. They will have to, of course, prepare for the majestic costumes and props, practice for a stunning choreography, and do all other effects to make their presentation exceptional.
Other activities also include the Masskara Queen, whereas locals will open a pageant competition. Women will vie for the crown, and the one who exhibits true Bacolodnon beauty and she will be hailed as the queen of the festival. Similarly, other small competitions are also simultaneously happening in all parts of the city. These are the agriculture-trade fairs, bugle corps tournament, carnivals, drums, food festivals, garden shows, musical concerts, and sports events.
Throughout the week of the celebration, people gather to the place to enjoy the non-stop activities which will surely make anyone dance and sing with joy! But if you are more of an observer than of a participant, you may opt to watch the other simple yet really enjoyable games prepared by the locals. Indeed, the Bacolod Masskara Festival is filled with a lot of enjoyable and entertaining activities which may be enjoyed by the visitors, both locals and foreigners. This is a world-class celebration prepared by people of Bacolod City.

Bacolod Masskara is one of the most memorable event in the city of bacolod, I think my opinion about on how we organize the masskara in online, I think every participant who join the contest will be given a location, to avoid the spread of virus before you can join make sure that you have any symptoms about the virus the we suffering right now. Every team must consist of below 15 members and should make 1-2 meters distance when performing. The perfomer must be physically fit.

2. Positive thinker – we are now experiencing a pandemic and because of it, we easily get stress and I need a people to my team that are not easily be shaken by negativity and know how to row the boat of positivity for my team.
3. Responsible – for me this is the important criteria that I will look for my team member because having a responsible team will give the organization a smooth sailing ride. And I will drive or mobilize my team by reminding them the purpose or the goal of the online Masskara event that we are preparing. I will also engaged every one of them to the task and will show how they can help the team for the success of event. I believe, I can also drive my team for the success of event by expressing my gratitude along the way and build a connection to them as a leader.
Enrica T. Abrio BSIT 3-C2
I will be needing people with high interest in the event and who are willing to join. People who are experts in designing and dancing. Also their time because its a very big event that will consume much of their time. And most of all, people who are responsible and has rhe ability to work as a whole.
If I organize an online masskara event as a team, I choose someone on my team who knows how to respect fellow team members and other people, knows his/her responsibility in the team. I also chose someone who has the willingness to give 100% commitment to the team, knows how to encourage others to meet the goal and to solve a problem. The person who trusts the team, knows to take risk that they know your team are capable of fulfilling their promises. And also knows about the masskara event, that they have an experience in how to manage/organize the masskara event. They know how to talk to the people with respect, Because communication is important to the team you need to be vocal in how you approach in a good way to the people around you.
— Rollen Mari V. Gadiano BSIT 3C1
If I were tasked to organize a team to make an online Masskara event I might prefer to make it simple but meaningful. Since we are facing the pandemic we are not able to enjoy the maskara physically for 2 years. As an organizer I will bring them the masskara as more exciting than it is. Ideally to promote a platform online where each one of us may experience the masskara festival not only for Bacolodnon but in this case we can also help to promote the tourism of Bacolod City. I will organize the online masskara festival dance competition and a lot more masskara experience like the way it is. Some of the criterias are to make us feel a lot of excitement and determination about this festival, and to let the people feel how they really need to experience the best in masskara. Also I would like to have people that are creative and knowledgeable about some interesting ideas that we can provide for this Online Event.
ERMIE GRACE D. PAGSUGUIRON BSIT 3 C2
We will make decisions and plans for the online event. We will seek help from the local government for the equipment to be used for the online event. Each one of us has a different task. I will divide it into seven groups.

GROUP B, will organize the equipment for the event such as sound systems, cameras, and devices needed
GROUP C, will process the documents and they will also set the times and days
GROUP D, will choose a good online platform for the webinar
GROUP E, will look for sponsors, they will also make advertisements

Thank you for all livestreaming platforms because it is one of our choice specially during this pandemic that we can’t celebrate our proud festival here in Bacolod, Masskara Festival. But if I’m the one that been given task to organize a TEAM to make a virtual Masskara event, the frist step that I’m going to do is to Identify my audience, we need to do first is to take a survey to the public and find out how many percent of people are interested in this event and how could they participate in this event. Second is to finalize our format, online event planning have many formats, it can be organized by one person on the screen or it could be perform by a group of performers to entertain audience in screen. Third is to choose a specific platform, nowadays there are so many livestream platforms that we can use to held this event but obviously I will choose Facebook bacause not only it is easy to access by all users but also it is common for all possible liveviewers, the fourth one is mobilizing my team and making criteria in selecting my team members, obviously I will pick a team member that is active in participating an online event and have a knowledge how to run a online event, most important thing is choosing a host/MC to run an event, I need a experienced and at the same time humorous one. Then choosing the venue, basically due to this pandemic all of covered courts are closed for safety protocols, but if I possible I suggest to choose a more private venue like cultural gyms, not because it is virtual it means it should’t be held in halls, obviously it needs a stage so that it can shoot a live performance of groups to entertain our live viewers. Then lastly but not the least part of the plan is to choose a specific time and date, typically the best time is weekends during early evening for around 5:00-7:00 p.m. between saturday and sunday, we could also make an online survey to ask our audience for schedule suggestions and obviously exclusive only in month of october where Masskara festival naturally happens.

To mobilize a team for an online Masskara event, the first thing that I will do is to inform them about the event, gather and set a meeting with the team with proper distancing and follows protocol. If some are on the far city I’ll just set a meeting through online, discuss the Masskara event ask ideas or any suggestion, do the consensus to make the online Masskara event become more entertaining to the people without any set backs. Divide them to their capabilities and where they excel. Group them according to their roles and assign a task in each group.
The criteria for selecting my team members is based on their capability, strengths, passion to do their work, cooperatively with their fellow team. Creativity in his/her decisions or idea, and has the knowledge is crucial to the event.

Lastly you’ll need members that can work efficient in the time of crisis, if they have these skills, keep them because they will help you succeed as a organizer or manager.
In selecting a criteria for my team members on organizing an Online Maskara event. First is that I would choose people who have knowledge and experience in this kind of things, so that the work would be fast and it easy for them to give opinions and ideas because they have already done this kind of thing.

Next TRUST 40% , i should trust my members and i should avoid ignorance , cliques and prejudice because it can cause roadblocks to our team for being a productive . Each team members should have Task to do so that ot would be easy for us to create a SUCCESSFUL ONLINE MASSKARA EVENT.

If I will organize a team to make an online masskara event. First I will select a members that characterize the team success factors including purpose, process,communication, commitment, involvement and trust there are important to effectiveness of a team and it’s can help To improve my team and move rapidly into success of the event. And also I will avoid ignorance, cliques and prejudice because it can make road blocks and can bring conflict and it’s not good in the team and it’s affect in the success of masskara events. To start the process of making masskara event My team and I should coordinate to every barangay officials here in bacolod City if they are wilig to participate in the event. Second I will organise my team through barangay to barangay for us to communicate easily. Our first event was a dance parade because dance parade was the biggest asset in MassKara Festival and it could be held also through online barangay event and I will make sure that the protocols in this pandemic stage will be implemented. This dance parade should be perform in there own perspective barangay area and the audience and the judges should be judge them through online voting. The schedule of our event should be weekend so that there will be no work at the same time to assure that we have higher number of viewers online. Also we will post the schedule of the event ahead two weeks before the event through online. I will assign a head leader for every team in barangy their was a problem or any conflict the head leader should communicate with me or coordinate to give solutions if there was a problem. And before anything else we should discuss our plans and ideas form each of us to improve this event.

During this pandemic, it is not possible to celebrate fiestas and any gatherings because many people will attend it and we cannot guarantee their safety. With that, my team and I will make a way for the celebration to continue.
As a leader, it will be taken if the members first know how to do graphics design, secondly, are good at organizing events, third, have many ideas for the said event, fourth, know how to persuade and know how to organize the participants in the event.
We will make a plan and we will listen to each other’s ideas to make our steps more polished and what we will do and how we can achieve more viewers what strategy we will do for more people to participate and if what are the prices and what is the flow of our virtual celebration. And we will make step by step our plans for a successful celebration.

First, I will look for an expert in computer editing and people who already have experience in the masskara festival. And combine their knowledge and experience to create an online event so that people will not be bored and will not miss the masskara festival due to the pandemic.
In order to make an Online Masskara Event, I need skilled and experienced team members. I will send emails or private messages in order to reach them and inform that I am recruiting some members. Social media is the best and easy way to gather members. Gathering members is crucial, so I need to make a criteria. Members must have experience on online events so that our operations will be smooth. Each members must be skilled in many things, I don’t want someone who is only good at certain thing. He/she must know to multitask because if something bad happens, there will be always someone who can be replace and still do the job correctly. Members should have good communication skills. This is an online event, voice and communication skills will help a lot to entertain people and gather more audience. (BSIT3-C1)
As of now we’re facing at virtual communication because of pandemic. If, I had a team to organize the masskara festival through online. My criteria are, first Determination and Commitment it’s equivalent to 30%, because you can’t called it a team without the determination and commitment on it. 2nd is having a Workplace Diversity it’s equivalent to 40%, because not all of us are came from in the same environment of culture. Respecting and valuing are included in there. 3rd is Experience and Expertise it’s equivalent to 30%, having an experience and expertise about gadgets and other electronic devices. Because having them is very important also it is easy to put them in where they belong and of course it’s easy to manage. Having a different people to build a team is exciting, because each of them has a ability and knowledge to be shared. Because you can’t called it a team without teamwork. That’s all Thankyou!

If I am to organize a team for an Online Masskara event, I will select my team from different Baranggay’s in Bacolod City. I believe that cultural diversity really matters. As per Baranggay, culture is differ from one another. I’ll give a chance to each member of the team to speak out their opinion of what they think is the best for the event. As a leader of this team I will prevent ignorance, cliques and being a prejudice leader to happen because this will become a roadblocks to the team for being a productive one. I will give my trust to the team so that they may feel motivated and give their best to cooperate with this event. I will give each of them their specific task and always motivate them to give their best because even if they differ in task that I’m going to give, as a team we have the same goal and this is to have a successful online Masskara event.

It’s a big responsibility to held a online Masskara Festival. But it’s the safest way to celebrate our Masskara Festival. First, I will make sure that I have a team that is responsible and have an experience about online event. I’ll make sure that my team has a complete equipment that they need. A team that responsible with their actions. We need to make sure that we plan everything right. We need to show how important the Masskara Festival in Bacolodnons. We will share a past celebration of Masskara Festival before pandemic. How Masskara Festival starts and helps the tourism of Bacolod City. I cannot do that if I don’t have a team that’s is more intelligent in gadgets and online event. A team that is responsible and hard-working. A team that is creative and proud. Lastly, a team that also from our own town Bacolod City. A team that have a heart of Bacolodnons because they will be more motivated to make the online Masskara Festival success because it’s also their honor as a people of Bacolod City.

Due to this pandemic, we cannot celebrate Masskara festival. But an organizer, despite of all this circumstances. And by the use of technology I will make a contest. I will announced my team about my plan and they are the one who will going to spread it into social media. The contest is about making a masskara head dress and a masskara costume. But ofcourse, there will be a reward in every contest. So that many participants will register. The winner will be honored with money and a trophy. And I will also put decorations on the road so that people can aslo feel the essence of masskara. And a raffle event for many people so that their will be more excite and many more events to held. Like the trending app now, the tiktok. I will use it so that many millenials and generation Z will be attracted and registered in my event. I will call it the “Tiktok Masskara Dance” and also the trending mobile games the Mobile Legends. Masskara feat, Mobile Legends tournament in Bacolod City.
First of all, Online Masskara will be a good way of celebrating it in this time of pandemic. in choosing a team to organize it, first is to mobilize the team to do that we need to apply communication. communication helps the team connect with each other and will enable your team to grow and develop together. And also Listening to your teammates, listening to them will help boost teams communication. it is also important to listen to your teams ideas that they share.
Knowledge and skills is the criteria I need to select people for my team. and also I prefer selecting people that are confident with their work, so that time management will no longer be an issue when organizing the event.

Hi Masskara Festival,
Good day! I’m Jen Obenita from Hallohallo Entertainment/MNL48.
I’m under Ms. Paula Bringas formerly from Viva Records.
I would just like to inquire regarding your Masskara Festival this year. I’m just hoping if you are open to have an artist guesting.
The artists I’m handling now Ma’am is called MNL48. A franchise of Japan’s AKB48,
co-managed by AbsCbn/Showtime. We’re currently promoting their album(just released
this November).
After the success of their debut album, we recently launched
their newest album “Pag-ibig Fortune Cookie” on Showtime last Nov 30,2018.
Just last year ma’am we had a couple shows in smaller malls and we’re
surprised to have sold 128,176, 200 and 371 CDs. Their fans are looking for more and
we’re hoping to bring them to bigger mall venues.
The fan base that they have right now are the anime lovers, japan culture enthusiasts,
and also fans of AKB48—usually underground groups.
I’m really hoping you’ll be open to have a guest like our artist.
I also attached the profile of our artist and their recent music videos under
AbsCbn Starmusic for your reference.
Thanks Masskara Festival!

Masskara festival is one of the most-awaited events in the Philippines. I wish I could go there with the whole family to explore and to attend such events in Bacolod. Thanks for the heads up!
Omg now this looks like one awesome festival!!! I would love to attend!!!
This looks like such a festive festival! With so much happening and the obvious fun to be had, it’s definitely something to put on the calendar!
I never been in Bacolod and sounds a beautiful place to visit. I would love to go there and see the Masskara festival in live
I never been in Bacolod. But I want to go there if I have a chance and looks a fun Masskara festival.
So many awesome masks, very creatively done! I love how they styled and presented each one as well. It would be awesome to go here and just enjoy the show!
Oh wow what an amazing sounding and looking festival – I love the colours, I bet it is such a wonderful atmosphere when you are there. x
Bacolod’s Masskara Festival is always draws in a big crowd. Knowing that the current administration has huge plans for it this year excites me. It’s just too bad that I already have a trip planned the same time as this, but next year should be okay. I have always wanted to experience how we Pinoys do our festivals.
