I was asked to cover the Adivay festival specifically, the horses and cowboys parade.
I have no idea what time the event will start, so I decided to come early to avoid the traffic, and to not miss the parade. Since there was no traffic, I arrived in Benguet Sports Complex at 8:20A.M. The parade haven't started yet and I thought I should visit the booths.
Each 13 municipalities have their own booths showcasing their products. I was amazed with the beautiful landscapes and creative booths. I wanted to try their delicacies, but I didn't brought money with me. Here are some photos of the booths and landscapes:
An hour passed and the still no parade. I visited the stalls selling snacks and woodcarving, which is a popular product of Benguet.
I wanted to buy some souvenirs but I was worried that I might not be able to go home. So I just sat on the stage waiting for something to happen while I watch the kids play and scream happily.
After hours of waiting, the horses and cowboys finally arrived. The governor of Benguet, board members, Mr. and Ms. Benguet together with the other candidates, and various horse-riding associations came riding their horses, of course. The PROCOR combo, a band composed of the Cordillera policemen, performed country songs while cowgirls danced to the beat. There was also a horse racing contest as a part of the program, Dongba Ni Kavajo.
In the afternoon, PMA class 2015 performed the silent drill. The crowd was amused with the formation and rifle exhibition of the cadets. But the highlight of the drill was when the cadets danced to the medley of different modern songs such as One Direction's What makes you beautiful, 4Minute's Hot Issue, and Psy's Gangman Style.
In the end, today's events was worth the wait. It was fun and a rare sight to see.
