Covering Aliwan Fiesta is an adventure in itself. I arrived early at the Quirino Grandstand at around thirty minutes past noon. The sweltering heat of the midday sun is just so unbearable. Upon arriving at the assembly area, I hurried myself to the cafeteria right in front of the Manila Ocean Park for a quick cold refreshment. I had a glassful of icy cold ripe mango shake. Minutes later Nina arrived and she too ordered mango shake.
The Aliwan Fiesta streetdance competiton is finally over. But the talk is obviously not yet over. People still love to discuss highlights and the lowlights of the Philippine’s Grandest Fiesta.
Here are some photos from the recently concluded Alilwan Fiesta 2008:

The Aliwan Fiesta 2008 has officially started! Yesterday, the organizer Manila Broadcasting Company has a variety program and a dance contest participated by the various schools from Metro Manila. I also had the chance to check out the floats that were being made yesterday at the Quirino Grandstand ground near the Rizal Park in Manila.
