MAKATI CITY GRAND PARADE ON MAY 9 TO SHOWCASE FAMOUS PHILIPPINE FESTIVALS

The Makati Grand Parade on Ayala Avenue this Friday, May 9, will be a virtual sensory feast resembling the acclaimed Rio Carnival in Brazil, as it will showcase various festivals, including the world-famous Dinagyang Festival of Iloilo City, and floats creatively designed to depict this year’s parade theme, “International Festival.”

Aliwan fiesta 2008: Covering the event rain or shine

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.
