...May 14, 2008, the grand parade for this year's Pulilan Carabao Festival... and guess what? it went spectacular!!!! hmmm, the festival was actually may 6-15, 2008... the night before the grand parade, i roamed around the trade fair, and i got my henna tattoo that night in right my leg (a tribal design)... early next morning, the festivity spirit was on the air, the two national morning shows (unang hirit - gma and magandang umaga pilipinas - abs-cbn) was there to cover the event... almost 20 marching bands were also there to participate in the grand parade... people begun to flocked on the streets waiting for the most anticipated parade in town... at around two in the afternoon, the parade started... it was led by the local officials, festival officials and parish officials and together with them was no other than MMDA chairman bayani fernando, that delegation was followed by the different marching bands, the k9 dogs, the pinoy big brother teen edition plus evictees (housemates and guardians) and the different floats pulled by carabao, and OMG, also there was the gorgeous Iya Villania, after the bands and floats there came the true "bida" of the festival, the carabaos...
...numbers of carabaos participated in the parade together with their masters... the crowd shouted with joy, they were screaming "luhod! luhod!", urging the master to make their beast to kneel.. but the climax of the parade was all the carabaos kneeled in front of the parish church of San Isidro Labarador, the patron saint of the farmers...
... i was unlucky i have to go back to quirino immediately after the parade, i wasnt able to catch the "sun invasion in pulilan concert", i heard iya and brown man revival was there... hmmmmmm sayang!!!!
