Camiguin Island

Camiguin is an island born of fire. It has seven volcanoes and several volcanic domes. Volcanic eruptions and land movements have created this spectacular island which is full of natural wonders and historical riches. I have visited this island several times and I am always amazed by it's beauty.


Below are some pictures taken last April 2010.

Kaamulan Festival 2011




The Kaamulan Festival was held last February to March 2011 in Malaybalay, Bukidnon.  Kaamulan” is from the Binukid word “amul” which means “to gather”. It is a gathering of Bukidnon tribespeople for a celebration. It can mean a datuship ritual, a wedding ceremony, a thanksgiving festival during harvest time, a peace pact, or all of these put together.



My favorite float was of a woman reclining, made from banig, corn 
and other vegetables and fruits.

The very colorful beads, headdress and costumes of the participants in 
the street dancing festival.






As an ethnic festival, the Kaamulan celebrates the customs and traditions of the seven tribal groups that originally inhabited the Bukidnon region, namely, the Bukidnon, Higaonon, Talaandig, Manobo, Matigsalug, Tigwahanon and Umayamnon. Several tribal folks representing these seven hill tribes of Bukidnon gather in unity with the local dwellers in town, wearing their intricately woven costumes studded with trinkets, anklets, earrings, necklaces, leglets, headdresses and amulets. They dance together, chant, perform ancient rituals, and compete in indigenous sports (Bukidnon website).
