| As soon as the "thousand flowers bloomed" so thus the activities like painting and regatta. |
The Baguio Flower Festival was not only made for tourists, it was also
created for the families who live in Baguio. Last February 10, 2013, a
“Handog ng Panagbenga sa Pamilya Baguio” was celebrated and it focuses on family
oriented activities like painting activities, kite flying activities, Baguio
Burnham Regatta, variety shows and “bring me” games.

Panagbenga 2013 Series: 1000 Flowers and a Boat Race

Another fun-filled weekend indeed happened. Last Sunday, the “thousand
flowers bloom” formally opened through the beautifully and emotionally created
artworks of the participating students, families and tourists who painted their
efforts to make Panagbenga 2013 a more creative fun festival. It was indeed. A
day after the challenging “comics art” Komikon Baguio, another “arts” activity
was witnessed by the festival goers. And so we “let a thousand flowers bloom”
on the grounds of the Melvin Jones open area.
The artists were very passionate about their paintings. They were
meaningful and express what ‘A Blooming Odyssey” is all about. If I will be the
judge, I will rank most of them equally but well it’s a competition so there
should always be a winner. Photos and videos are posted here so they speak for
themselves.
On the other side of Burnham there was this first ever regatta on Burnham
Lake. “Regatta” means a sail race or a boat race. All the participants of the
boat race were already winners because the crew will only select three
competitors who will vie for the first prize of P1500. The second and third
competitors who will finish the race will receive P1000 and P500 respectively.
Walang katalo-talo indeed.

The Burnham Regatta has different categories—from family to one man to
couples to “beckies” to foreigners—it was very fun! Hopefully next year, the
regatta will compose of more than 3 participants so it will be a total riot
haha. Tourists who watched the regatta definitely enjoyed the race.
The three big universities of Baguio—Saint Louis University, University of
Baguio and University of the Cordilleras—held their own booths on the Melvin
Jones grounds. There was also this booth of the Philippine Bamboo Arts and it
was amazing. Their crafts were entirely carved using the bamboo stems.

The variety show which happened on the grandstand showcased the talents of
the students from the different universities. Comes night, another fun filled
variety show was held. There was also a fireworks display that was so amazing
and amusing. I will be posting soon the night sequel of last Sunday’s buffet. =D
For the meantime, check out the photos (and the videos) I posted or you
