Panagbenga Festival 2015, Baguio City

The Panagbenga is annually celebrated in Baguio City whereas the opening is always the 1st of February and closing is the 3rd of March, though normally it closes on the Sunday of the first week of March.

It will be all up to you if you'd like to stay that long, but I'd prefer seeing the main events since I can't really be out of office that long... gotta work you know 

So the events that I look forward to seeing: Street Parade/Dance, Grand Float Parade, Session in Bloom and fireworks display which falls on the last weekend of February up to the first week of March.

Celebrities and Personalities on floats: Ogie Alcasid and Miss Earth 2014
