Looks like the Philippine summer time is almost here. This year’s Holy Week even comes early in March. And yes, the heat of the summer sun is almost unbearable now. While I was walking along Paseo de Roxas Avenue in Makati City, I really cannot bear the heat anymore. IT’s just so hot! Even at night time, I need to full blast my electric fan to feel the air.

The Iloilo Dinagyang Festival is actually composed of two parts. The Kasadyahan Festival which happens on Saturday of the festival season, and the Ati-ati contest which is the grand highlight of the Dnagyang festival.
Kasadyahan Festival is different from the ati-ati contest. For one, its dancers do not cover their body with black paint. They use taped music. And the Kasadyahan Festival has a more varied theme, as opposed the ati-ati contest. Many Kasadyahan tribes portray the unique and colorful rituals or an important slice of local history.
Here are some of the photos from the recently concluded Kasadyahan Festival in Iloilo City Philippines:
