Barangay Fiesta

And then there was silence….

Last week was very chaotic in my barangay. There were too much noise and activities…pageants, singing contests, motorcades, games for the kids, drum and bugle going round and round and round…..

It was the feast of San Isidro Labrador, the patron saint of good harvest, of the laborers.

The feast is celebrated every15^th day of May. A week long celebration was conducted by the barangay. The entire street of Sandejas in Pasay City was festooned with decors.

A long stretch of silver buntings.

Pink buntings on the next block.

Greetings from local politicians were visible.

Kids had so much fun during parlor games.

The musicians.

They look bored....

And one of the contests…..

Organized by the gay community members.

I went home one night amid the screams of people. I checked out what was going on, only to find out that I was just in time for the swimwear competition….

Whoa!!!!

Red na red, parang  mosquito net lang =)

Skimpy na kung skimpy!

White is for purity =)

Then the formal wear....
