The traditional Awit-Sayaw. a song and dance yearly competition sponsored by the city of La Carlota as one of the added tourism attraction to the Pasalamat merrymaking started its opening salvo.
Song competition, bulilit and adult category, and dance (hataw sa sayaw) were gone through the Saturday night, uninterrupted by intermittent pouring of the rain. The contestants were so determined to push it through. The must go on, rain or shine, so to speak.
Follows are my amateur video taken during that night at the public plaza of La Carlota:
a. Awit, adult category
This competition paves the way to another year of revelry and thanksgiving of Mangkasanon, ancient or historical name of the people of La Carlota.
We long to have you in our culmination for this and also for the culmination of Pasalamat Music and Dance Festival which is usually held a week close to May 1, Labor Day.
b. Sayaw (dance competition)
See you in La Carlota! Bring your whole family, relatives, and friends.
