Kadayawan 2011 Indak Indak sa Kadalanan

One of Kadayawan's highlight that I am looking forward each year is the indak2x. This years Indak Indak, well to be honest, I am kinda disappointed. The performers were all just either walking or running. I already know that the performance will be judged near San Pedro near City Hall. Even though that was the plan this year, I was hoping for a little performance on the street on their part. A few performed a little but it was nothing compared to last year.

Well for the performers side(the contestants) who mostly are students, it was a relief on their part, since the kids wont be too tired when they reach the judges, no more performing on the street under the heat of the sun(but to tell you during that day, it was not sunny, the clouds are dark and it was due to rain).

Disappointed maybe, but still I have taken a few photos of the parade for you guys. I did not finish the parade because my interest and excitement has already gone out the window. I could have went to San Pedro to take photo during the performance but I know it will be too crowded, and you cant get near to get a decent photo, unless your a professional photographer who is under a organization, then maybe you can have access to a much nearer position. I hope things will be different next year, and hope that Sundays floral parade wont be like the indak indak.

Design Your Slippers Contest this Kadayawan at SM Davao 2011

Kadayawan is fast approaching, compared to Araw ng Dabaw I always considered Kadayaw to be the best. There are more floats, more participants, and its livelier and to top that of, it will start in the afternoon. That means no more sunblock for me this time.

Aside from the Indak-Indak and Floral parade, most establishment has their own gig, and contest before Kadayawan starts, one would be SM. SM has many contest and event that would be held in their place. One such event would be the Design Your Slippers Contest.

Kadayawan 2009 side show

As I was watching the Indak2x at Kadayawan, i notice some people gathering at the side of the street, then i saw this guy lying on the ground.

police said he was drunk, man was that guy drunk to not even notice all the noise from the band passing by hahahaha. Later the police called on the mobile patrol to take this guy home. Not far from the site though is a booth, this you will love. FREE taste of Tanduay after drinking you wash it out with a Cobra energy drink hahahaha. Maybe that drunk guy came here for a drink or two and cant handle his liquor. The kadayawan festival what a day.
