 Festival of Dmgte
This is not really a esay , just a way of letting other know what they are missing
Upon the arrival to Dmgte in November , my wife and I stayed at the La Resedenca hotel.Our room was facing the blvd with a spectucular view.
We were standing on the balcony and began to see people gathering along the street, much to our supprise there was a parrade about to begin.As we sttod thee I was so impressed with all the color and pagentry of the parade as the would stop in fron of our hotel for the judges,We could not have had a better location to view.As I am from the USA I han never experienced such beauty as i saw, I began to video ever meter of the parade.The excitement was over whelming in the air as people ran along the parade route and the various groups performed ther dances and with all the pagentry and color.I beleive i was most impressed with the difrent dances that were performed with such precesion. I could only imigaine the hours of practice that had gone into it,
All the floats and drums were pulled by hand and now where did i see any one falulter.We were so blessed to have had the opprutinity to witness such a parade in the beautiful city of Dumaguete, where I hope to return to very soon.
I must say this was the most impresive parade I have ever seen.
In the USA every thing is so mechanical driven and commercialized in the parades , The USA just does not know what they are missing , The Philippine could teach the americans so much  |
