This is the second part. First part can be read here

June 29. I woke up to the roaring sound of the rains and the howling winds. And there was no sign of the rain from stopping anytime soon. The entire province of Leyte was still under storm signal number 2.

It was supposed to be the much awaited day in the entire Eastern Visayas Region. The day when three festivals will be showcased in what is called as the “Day of Festivals”

The Pintados Festival of Tacloban and the Leyte Ksadyaan Festival of Festivals were scheduled for a streetdancing competition in the morning and ritual presentation in the afternoon, while Tacloban’s Sangyaw Festival of lifhts were scheduled later that evening.

Four days of Fun and Excitement with the Travel Bloggers at the Pintados Kasadyaan 2013

It was supposed to be one of the biggest gathering of Filipino travel bloggers ever. Except that Typhoon Gorio came in and rained all the plans away.

But despite the heavy rains and Storm Signal Nmber 2, we were able to meet, though at different times.

Mervz Ramil Edgar and Sinjin arrived at Tacloban June 26th. The four of them together with another travel blogger, Shugah, + Ludette and Gerry Ruiz all went to Palompon early morning of June 27th. Their target destination: Kalanggaman Island.

Looking at their social media updates, looks like they were really having so much fun at the island. I have been to Kalanggaman two years ago, and it was a really wonderful experience. I was actually envy at them.

It’s almost a week now since Leyte staged its annual Pintados kasadyaan Festival 2013. And yeah, we still can’t get enough of seeing the colors and spectacle of the fiesta.

I can still hear the drumbeats from the ack of my mind, the infectious chanting of Ahhhhh-Buyog! And the dizzying colors of the props of Alang alang Leyte.

It was one good show we all enjoyed, except for that one uninvited guest, Typhoon Gorio, who almost stole the show.

Buyogan tops Pintados Kasadyaan 2013 competition

Not even Typhoon Gorio (International name “Rumbia”) could stop the Leytenos from celebrating the annual Pintados Kasadyaan Festival 2013.

I arrived in Tacloban June 27th in the morning via Tiger Airways. It was fully booked, as expected. But the flight went smoothly.

June 28th we went nto the RTR Plaza for the Bituon han Leyte Festival Queen Competition. Every year, this is one event I always look forward to aside from the streetdancing it self. Bituon han Leyte is a competition among the young female lead dancers. But unlike thye usual beauty pageants this one has now long gown or swim wear competition. They only have the dance number where the lead dancer will perform together with some of their contingent members. Bituon han Leyte is an optional event for the towns participating at the street dancing competition.
