DINAGYANG FESTIVAL 2011- OPENING SALVO

Of all the festivals here in Iloilo City, it's Dinagyang Festival that makes me excite.  I always join and be a part of the said celebration every year.  It's the Iloilo's big event!

I was able to catch the Opening Salvo today despite of busy work schedule.  In addition, I was able to take some few shots.
