I have so many things to write about. But my time never allow me. And so i make a thread in my album about the traditional dances, etc. I hope someday that this addres will come out with new section for video, or even songs.

You know guys, here in Ilocos Sur, we have so many festivals. Candon City and Vigan City has its own brand of culture and traditions. But what many didnt know, is the festivals of upland municipalities and even cities that features the traditional dances and songs.

So guys, if you want to see them in pictures, just try to click them in my photo album.
