I just came home from taking pictures of the Bambino Festival 2023 here at Pasig City and I have like 300+ pictures of this event. I’ll trim it down and select fewer pictures to post. For the meantime, here are random shots from today’s Bambino Festival 2023.
Finally, after two years of absence, the Grand Marian Procession 2022 returned last month. Sharing with you some of the pictures I took of this momentous event.
I was with my fellow Nayon Photographers and we were treated to a dinner at Max’s Restaurant by Ka Teddy. He’s the one interviewed by Kuya Kim for 24 Oras and our picture appeared on the show for a fraction of a second.
This event has been a regular occasion that I shoot.
LUBAO, PAMPANGA – Summer in the Philippines last 2016 heated up with colors and wonders as the biggest hot air balloon festival in Southeast Asia was set to light up the skies.
The Lubao International Balloon Festival 2016 featured amazing balloon flights from international participants, as well as aerial exhibitions and other exciting activities like land exhibits, car shows and fireworks display. Families and barkadas got to enjoy dynamic music from Ely Buendia, Bamboo, True Faith, Sabado Boys and Mitoy and D’Draybers.
Indeed, it was a successful and well-attended event which paved the way for another exciting hot air balloon festival that everyone can surely look forward to. Happening on April 6-9, 2017 at Pradera Verde, Prado Siongco, Lubao, Pampanga, the most awaited event will be back bigger, bolder, and better!
Bigger. More than thirty (30) international balloons will decorate the skies of Pampanga with magnificent designs and beautiful colors. It will surely be a one of a kind spectacle for the viewing pleasure of over 100,000 expected local and foreign guests.
Bolder. The festival will not only showcase the majestic display of hot air balloons during the day, but also provide the spectators with the chance to marvel at their grandeur against the night sky during the Night Glow. Furthermore, amazing fireworks display will cap off the day and end it on a high note.
Better. Great views are best enjoyed with great music. A first for the event, an international music festival will be held on the last day featuring Alex Aiono and Redfoo with Party Rock Crew. Local artists will also perform like SpongeCola, Parokya ni Edgar and Bamboo.
It’s going to be a wonderful experience, so bring your friends and families over to enjoy the summer with amazing sights and sounds at the Lubao International Balloon and Music Festival 2017!

Sumakah Festival is held in Antipolo City. Sumakah stands for Suman, Mangga, Kasoy and Hamaka (Hammock). Last May 9, 2015 was my first time to attend the festival. It’s a long parade – composed of floats, drum and lyre, street dancers, barangay officials and yes, even Ms Gay candidates dressed in Sumakah-inspired outfits.
The parade was too long and tedious. They should have focused on street dancers only or drum and lyre. They also could have organized/paraded the floats on another day so that photographers could have taken better pictures. Even the participants are joking that it was “alay-takbo” because they are in a hurry. They also started late – past 7am, instead of 6am which they announced on their flyers/FB page.
Here are some of the pictures that I've taken of the Sumakah Festival 2015 and a little video. The song that they used in the parade is no other than the famous song “Tayo Na Sa Antipolo”.
