EXPERIENCING ANILAG 2017




I'm a big fan of cultural diversity so I made sure I'd be able to take a peek at ANILAG FESTIVAL. Here is where you'll be able to appreciate a few of the differences on how Lagunenses express artistry, make a living and appreciate their past. Each booth, dance presentation and featured product teaches something about what matters to a specific locality.

To be able to get neat and better captures, one needs to go early to the venue (Laguna Capitol Grounds). During late afternoon to nighttime, the place gets crowded and you'll gather photobombers as you take selfies and the like. 

The day I visited the event, I was able to get to the booths, join my kababayan contestants during Street Dance parade, and check the food stalls.

BOOTHS
Truly a must-see and must-capture attractions among the rest of the festival features. Ranging from elegant (Lumban) to rustic (Kalayaan), each of them features its unique products, tourist spots and rich heritage. 


Town's progress and agricultural flourishing were both portrayed in Santa Maria's booth. 

LB's finest, Buko Pie and Mernel's have always beautified their corner.

Lumban displays their embroidered gowns. 

CALAUAN. I love the hues and geometry applied here. 

Liliw sells footwears inside their booth.
This man happened to be standing in front of Victoria's booth.

Arrived at a particular booth housing the "Pinaka" crop and fishery products in Laguna:





This Mickey Mouse-shaped, wild eggplant variety cannot be eaten.


PRODUCTS
If you are fond of Liliw footwears or Sta. Maria's crop edibles or even Victoria's Kinulob na Itik, visiting this event saves you time and money (fare) because here is where you can find each of the town's main products.


Luisiana's products.



STREET DANCE
The fusion of noise, colors and movements is what makes this activity a GREAT ART. 






Anilag stands for Ani ng Laguna. This year's theme: Handog ng Laguna sa Lawa ng Pag-asa.
