Cinco de Noviembre Festival

Cinco de Noviembre Festival
Sigabong sang mga Kanyon means “explosion of cannons.” It is also part of an annual Fiesta dubbed as “Cinco de Nobyembre” by the City of Bago, Negros Occidental, commemorating the uprising of the Negrenses and the somewhat “explosive” true story behind the province’s independence. History accounts relate to the siege of Bago City, then a poblacion, which was liberated by the Philippine revolutionary General Juan Araneta in the early hours of November 5, 1898.

don't have my DSLR, so the photos above were captured using a not so expensive action camera. This Al Cinco de Noviembre Festival performance was part of the Aliwan Fiesta 2017 held at the Quirino Grandstand, Manila. They are one of the Runners Up for Street Dance Parade and the Second Runner Up for the Float Competition.
