Photos from the Fluvial Parade in Bula, General Santos City

IT’S ONLY on January 15 that you would see over 300 fishing vessels cruising Sarangani Bay in a seemingly choreographed manner. That’s all because of the Feast of Sto. Niño,  the patron saint of the people of Bula, General Santos City.

 

 

Not your ordinary day out with the kids. This father takes his kids out into the Sarangani Bay where fishing vessels wait for the fluvial parade to start.

 

 

One thing is sure– this man is a Kobe Bryant fan or at least one of his kin is. Devotees usually dress up their Niños during the feast, and this man chose a yellow Lakers jersey.

 

Finding a boat to ride during the fluvial parade is a difficult task. You are a chance passenger. No, it’s worse. You are a chance passenger who faces the risk of getting drowned. Your “pakura” (a banca) might just get overturned by the waves or unbalanced distribution of weight. You better be sure you know how to swim. Moreover, should you be lucky enough to find a vessel that will let you in, it might just be as crowded as this.

Change Revolution Poster

THIS IS the poster for the CHANGE REVOLUTION: A Rockin’  Event to Make a Difference, a benefit concert organized by Global XChange for the benefit of  VSO Bahaginan.

The cool graphics was done was Miguel Fonacier. Aethen Agana asked me to do the layout for this poster yesterday and I worked on it for about an hour and well, you can see how I messed up with the original design. Haha.

Anyway, the concert features the hottest bands in Cebu: Hastang, Melophobic, Skankin’ Brews, Who’s Next, Nyor, and Santing Scalawags.

If you are in Cebu on September 3, drop by The Outpost for some music and charity.
