PDFWe’re currently here in our hotel room in Cagayan de Oro, but earlier today, we spent the day in Malaybalay, Bukidnon for the Kaamulan Festival.
Taken with my Sony Ericsson W760, uploaded directly to Flickr without editing.
We arrived on the first flight out of Manila to CDO, and it took us a while before heading out to Bukidnon. We got there just as the 7th and last tribe was performing.
Nonetheless, we were able to see the spectacular costumes, elaborate floats and hear the heart pounding music. It was a shame that we missed most of the performances, but we have seen enough to know that we should come back next year.
Some more Kaamulan Festival Photos:

The experience was really something else. It’s different talaga from the other festivals I’ve been to. Will definitely go back!

i can only imagine how well you’ll start shooting once you get an SLR in your hands >:D
Seems like a very colorful festival. Ang ganda ng mga costumes nila.

Magnetic_rose: SLR? What SLR?
I think I’m going to bomb my first few shots.. i’ve been used to using point and shoots for so long!
Ferdz: It is! Hindi pa siya masyadong commercialized (though present ang mga politico). You can really see that this is part of their tradition and culture talaga. Really really lovely festival.
JP: My only regret was that we didn’t go there earlier
Hopefully, next year makabalik kami 
nina: yah its good to come back next year in kaamulan festival 2010, be sure to come early so you could watch their pamuhat or rituals before the streetdancing……..
