Subic Bay's San Roque Festival 2008

San Roque Festival is a yearly activity we have in the freeport. It is considered as the (freeport) community's festivity in honor of San Roque-- the Patron Saint.

The theme for this year's celebration is Latin American. (Last year was something ethnic). I wonder why it has to have a "theme" such as this when in fact it is a church activity for the Patron Saint. Anyway, it does make the annual celebration alive, exciting and much awaited for.

Our department participated in the parade/ street dancing and even competed with other departments in the group dance contest.... and it was a mess! please don't ask me why.

What is important is that we really enjoyed this year's fiesta and it was REAL fun.

They say that our group was the loudest, the most alive, the happiest and the most colorful (talk about being "festive") among the groups who participated.....

I hope that the committee have set a criteria to atleast acknowledge the effort to make the parade a happy sight (talk about being "festive" again!).

Oh no... i'm not sourgraping. =X

We won the 2nd prize for BEST COSTUME, btw. ;)
