I have uploaded photos for you from the Panagbenga 2008 or Baguio Flower Festival. I uploaded more than ten photos but I guess I'm only allowed five each day. So, check them out under the interest "WATCHED PANAGBENGA" and I will upload more later. It was raining during the parade and so the background is a bit gloomy. I took the pictures in big sizes and then resized them for uploading so they will look better.

I had been wanting to watch it since it started and this is my lucky year. You're lucky you're from Baguio and even if you missed it this year I'm sure you have seen it in the previous years and by the way, you still have a chance to see it next year, right? Please throw us some cool breeze here in Dasma. The heat is so intense. Have a great day!

Yes, it's like the Rose Parade and I think they got the idea from there. Rose Parade is more grand but for us here in the Philippines, I can consider Panagbenga fabulous in its sense especially if you are a flower lover. The floats look wonderful and breath-taking. Too bad it was raining during the parade so the pictures don't look that very clear. I was lucky to be in front of the crowd and the floats are just a few steps away from me. However, I was so annoyed at people passing by in front of me while the float was also passing bye. That's why all of my pictures have people walking and obstructing the whole view of the floats.

Yes, Palawena, you have a very good chance to see it next year if you will because you live near Baguio. All you need to do is advance planning--time and money wise. Good luck!

If you get a chance, you should see it. They do it every year for the whole month of February. There are street dancings, fair etc. But the best high light is the float parade.
