    A Festival to celebrate a city’s identity: the Pintaflores Festival of San Carlos City

    Cities in and around the Visayas region have their own identities that are showcased in each of their festivals.

    Get down and dirty at this year’s Mudpack Festival

    Mambukal Mountain Resort in Murcia, Negros Occidental isn’t usually on the map for having big, sprawling gardens. But once the province’s Provincial Environment Week kicks into high gear, the resort comes to life with its annual Mudpack Festival, which will be held from today, June 18, to Sunday, June 19.   IT’S MUD, BUT IT’S NOT DIRTY.
