Just wanna greet every Zamboangueno a happy fiesta! I'm not Catholic but i want to share the spirit of the festival to commemorate the diverse culture in Zamboanga, its rich heritage, and harmonious community. The past years we have been celebrating a peaceful fiesta. But it is sad to hear that recently, two separate bombings occured in two barangays of the city. Let's pray for the victims who were injured and hope that it wont happen again. We should always remember the essence of the festival, which is the religious aspect. Godbless Zamboanga!
Watch out for more of my photos of the Street dance soon...
