After passing the rain and the time inside Star City, Eric and I headed out to the press box, eagerly waiting for the first contingent’s arrival. Because of the sudden downpour, the first performers didn’t arrive until almost three hours later. I was sleep deprived, my clothes are wet and I’m exhausted.
But I managed to take this short video clip of the Pamulinawen festival’s performance.
More photos from the Aliwan Fiesta 2008 coming up tomorrow! Here are my rather colorful updates while I was at the Aliw Theatre via Twitter:
