…philfest 2010
30th of March 2010
As the name suggests, Philfest is a huge annual Filipino festival in Oldsmar, Florida, an overkill of Filipino culture displayed for the public. Originally I was not going to shoot this event (due to my MCAT studies taking precedence over everything), but I was requested by an individual that I DARE NOT say no to…. and I don’t regret it.
This segment is about the younger portion of our dance troupe (the ones I sometimes question whether they do this for fun, or if they’re forced to… haha). There are the youngins of the main troupe: PPAC, the really young ones: Indak Pambata (meaning “children’s steps”), and the branch that deals with modern dance: PYC.
Despite being youths, they displayed a valor and maturity that even some adults cannot compare to. That was proven at PhilFest, being a headline in the cultural presentations, (Vinta was AWESOME by the way), showing patience and tolerance during the Flores de PhilFest parade, and lastly taking 1st place at PhilFest Revolutions (a hip-hop competition). Congratulations on your accomplishments and know that those accomplishments are not ignored.
… again, its for the kids!
