Last week of Panagbenga features children

"THE best is reserved for the last," is a saying that aptly describes the final week of Panagbenga as children ages 9-12 take center stage in a series of workshops on culture and the arts dubbed "Bata't Bulaklak" at the Baguio Athletic Bowl starting today until March 2.full story

My Panagbenga

Panagbenga is one of the most colorful feasts in the country. It comes from the Kankanaey term, "a season of blossoming, a time for flowering." As the Baguio Flower Festival evolves, new activities serve as opportunity to enrich the Panagbenga spirit.
