Sinulog sa Kabankalan is here again!I was invited be one of the judges at the Sinulog sa Kabankalan Headdress Competition held recently at Robinsons Place, Bacolod City. Judging all the 24 entries was a big challenge because each of the entry presented beautifully.

The selection process started in the morning wherein the judges were given the chance to scrutinize every detail of each entry. In the afternoon, the entries were modelled in a spectacular show mounted by ABS-CBN Bacolod.

What a great selection of headdresses!! I am sure it was difficult to judge with those amazing designs!
The 3 winners deserved the trophies/prizes! Love them!
Filipinos are so creative in making these head dresses!
They all worked so hard on their costumes, just look at the details! SO lovely and beautiful. What an amazing festival!
I have never been to a Sinulog Festival but hoping someday I'll witness to see the beauty and how fascinating this celebration is.
Awesome! The designs are so intricate! This must have been a wonderful festival to witness. I only have one question... How were they able to balance those things on their heads? LOL. Congratulations to the winners!
Those headdresses certainly look that a lot of work was put into them and with very good results.
It takes real talent to create beautiful headdresses like those. Congratulations to all the winners!
