GenSan’s Kalilangan Festival 2008 – Day One

These are some of the pictures I took during the Opening of Kalilangan Festival 2008 on Saturday, February 16, 2008 which was covered live by ABS-CBN at their affiliate SkyCable Channel 28. The festival commemorates the 69th Foundation Anniversary of General Santos City on February 27th where everything culminates in one big street party invoking the city’s multi-faceted cultural heritage.
