4:30 I woke up early just go to Don Salavador Benedicto for Kali Kalihan Festival. Don Salvador is known as the little Bagiuo of Negros Occdental due to its cold weather and pine trees.

Around 5:00 am I am already at Dunkin Donut waiting for my office mates.

Finally around 5:30, were on the road...=) still sleepy but it worth it. We had fun alot!

The municipality of Don Salvador Benedicto will celebrate the “Pista sa Banwa” which includes the 28th Founding Anniversary together with the 21st Kali-kalihan Harvest Festival on February 5-9. The festival features different activities like pageants, carnivals, fireworks display, exhibits, and a unique cultural dance from the Dahunan Tribe of the “Ata” ethnic group.

On the road...

Still on the road...

It's around 6:00 am and still the mountains are fogging...

At the view deck...

going to proper of DSB...

way to the proper of Don Salvador Benedicto...
the road looks like in Bagiuo, full of pine trees...

Around 6:45 am we had our breakfast at the Market where the festival is on set...

OCTOBER again. And it's 31st MASSKARA FESTIVAL here in Bacolod City. The city is celebrating its 72nd Charter Anniversary.

Busy streets and crowds will invade Lacson street again. Electric MassKara has successfully earned its own distinction as another mardi gras of the festival, apart from the Street Dance competition.

With the bright innovation of converting the Lacson St.nto a Tourism Strip as an alternative party venue to the public plaza, the birth of Electric MassKara has added glitter to the evenings of the festival.

 The fever is on! Come and visit. Kari sa Bacolod!
