This is my entry to this week’s Photo Friday Challenge. The theme is Golden. This photograph was taken last January in St. Anne’s Church in Molo, Iloilo City Philippines. This church has been described as a feminist church for two reasons: First, its patron saint is a woman (St. Anne). And second, its aisle is lined with 16 life sized images of woma saints. There are only a few churches in the Philippine whose patron saint is a woman.

Featured Aliwan Fiesta Contingent:
DINAGYANG FESTIVAL, Iloilo City
Every fourth Sunday of January, the entire city of Iloilo is turned into a one big party place. As early as 2 in the morning, young men start to paint their bodies in black, and wear their colorful costumes. At the strike of 8 in the morning, drumbeats can now be heard all over the place. These painted men go out to the streets and dance to the endless beating of the drums.
The Dinagyang Festival is held annually in honor of the infant Jesus, or the Santo Nino. Usually a dancer or several of them carries a image of the Santo Nino during their dance routine. Tribes circle the Iloilo city proper and perform their dance rituals in five judging areas. In between the five judging areas, they are also required to perform their streetdance routine. The competition is traditionally done in a carousel type.

…your journey still begins here
I’m very very happy to present to you the new Byahilo lay-out! After my blog has been moved to a new server, I immediately planned to create a template that promotes the beauty of the Philippines.
From time to time, expect changes in the header images, depending on the season! I hope you like the new Byahilo layout.
Salamat!

It all started with “Hello”. Then the communication lines opened. At first, it was just for the members of the alta sociedad. But now, look. Even fish vendors at the wet market has it. An elementary kid has one.
