The Buglasan 2017 festival showdown was a colourful extravaganza where 10 cities from Negros Oriental, Philippines took part. Each city had a matching band, plethora of dancers, colourful costumes and props all moving around the arena. Making pictures can be challenging due to the dim lighting, distance to the subjects, fast moving dancers and over supply of interesting subjects. It’s fast moving and exhilarating just like street photography! Each city presents a dance lasting over 5 minutes which represents its history, culture or story.
The Miss Negros Oriental finalists were in attendance!
It helps if the contestants are very pretty!
Each city has a king and queen!
Energetic dancing is required!
The costumes and head gear are very intricate!
It’s was truly spectacular and enjoyable!
