It is my second time watching minulu-an festival. Last year it was raining before the competition start. This year it was a sunny afternoon and a good weather greeted every contestants. Though i was late and haven't seen the first performer. I focus on the next until the last. But unlucky i was unable to witness the announcement of winners, it happened that my sister is tired and want to refresh. So we gone home.

Out of 27 Barangays only 8 tribes participate in this year competition. Every contestant give their best to empress the board of judges.The term Minulu-an was the old name of the city. The story evolve in a very brave man who was Kapitan Sabi. He was so brave that he drove away the moro bandits to keep the city safe.

The festival was celebrated every 10th day of September which is also the feast of the city's patron saint San Nicolas de Tolentino.  Talisaynon only shows us how their ancestors live before and how rich is their culture. This year the theme was "Sa Pagpanikasog sang Tanan Bugay nga Naaguman Pasalamatan...Padulong sa Balanse nga Kauswagan." Waswas Bugsay Talisay!.

Here are some of my videos. I was late so i was unable to take good caption sorry guys!
