Celebrated
in the evening of November 2nd every year, the town of Isabela in Negros
Occidental is celebrating their Tigkalalag (Halloween) Festival.
Based on the
article I have read that there will be 6 participating groups for the STREET DANCING competition aiming to
get the P50,000 price.
We are not a
resident of Isabela so we drive probably 12 or 15 kilometers to get there.
When we arrived I was surprise with the number of
people in the streets. Hmmm Quite a lot! Seems fun. So we decided to walk
around since the highlight of the night has not started yet!
They have a
few rides too. And if you are an ukay2 (flea market) fan then you will sure to
enjoy it!
Then come to
the fun part the street dancing is about to start.
Hmmm let me
rewind….. Definitely NOT Fun
The Street
Dancing we expected did not happen at all.. The participants were to perform in
a huge enclosed Oval… We tried to get inside but the police officer in gate
said only VIP’s are allowed to enter! Whattttttttttt? are you kidding me? So we stayed for a couple of minutes trying
to negotiate with the guards and saw a lot of people coming in wearing shirts
that says “ festival Committee”. A lot of them but no one could explain why
only VIP’s are allowed to enter!
Seriously? The
guard showed the spots for public viewing! Also said there are projectors
outside for a closer look. The public viewing spots are a couple of meters away
from the oval and since it rained that day the area is like a pond with water
knee high. The Projectors? Whatever!
At the back is the
viewing spot! (Can’t see a single thing L )
If they
wanted to earn money why not ask for entrance fee? The oval is humongous that
could fit quite a lot of people but they choose to leave us outside while the
VIP’s and the committee are there inside! Is it ok to think that they organized festival only for them to enjoy?
I heard
other people complaining to … The street
is full packed of people but only VIP’s were given a chance to see it closely? What a disappointment!
So we
decided to just eat dinner and head home…
How’s The
Food?
Another
addition to our disappointments. A chicken Inasal cost P60 neither rice nor
drinks is included! Well the price wouldn't matter really if the taste is worth
it! But again a disappointment! The chicken taste awful!
(The place where we ate)
Chicken tasted awful! Still the camera never fails to make us smile J
After dinner
we just decided to head home. Putting aside all the disappointments it was
still a precious moment well spent with the family!
So how was
your Halloween Experience?
