Mini - Higantes (?) joined the pre Angono day parade August 18 2013

Angono - ang UNO

                                   A seemingly malnourished higante

The Higantes that joined the pre Angono day today were of different design and were smaller (the higantes are now stunted?) or saving on costs.  See for yourself what is happening to the Higantes.

                                    Chili faced higante


                                    Bizarre looking higantes


                                  What is this?  A cacti faced higante?



                                    Juvenile higantes


                                   Ma and pa higante;  still undersized

                                    Regular sized higante

Angono Marching Bands/majorettes featured at pre Angono Day parade August 18 2013

Angono - ang UNO   |   August 18, 2013




The  participants in the parade today could be divided into 4:   ordinary joiners (like teachers, LGU officials)  the higantes, the marching bands, and the costume/dance participants.  This post would focus on the marching bands/majorettes:

                                Every school seem to have their own marching bands



                                   Young band member with xylophone


                               Someday you will find them in HK Disneyland




When I went to HK Disneyland I heard many of the members of the marching band and the majorettes speaking in Tagalog.  Later on did I find out that the band member, Saturnino Tiamson, who leads the band is from Angono, Rizal.  He trained under AWE (under Angono Wind Ensemble) Prof. Gragera.  Truly from Angono, our pride

I think these are the best pictures that I took of the pre Angono Day parade celebration today, August 18, 2013 (not necessarily the best group or costume)
