Pahiyas Festival 2011

Pahiyas Festival is held in Lucban, Quezon every 15th of May in celebration of the Feast of San Isidro Labrador, the patron saint of farmers.  You can read more about Pahiyas here.

This year was my first time to be in Pahiyas.  Went there with my FPPF batchmates...  so technically it was my first photowalk with them outside the realms of Intramuros. :)

I anticipated a very long trip but it only took us around 4 hours to get there. At around 7am and after a breakfast of pansit habhab (P10/serving) we all decided to walk around and went trigger-happy with our cameras.

Colorful.

Yummy.

Whimsical.

and HAPPY.

There were just so many people so it was difficult to navigate through the streets and a lot of photo enthusiasts to elbow with for good shots... nevertheless, it was really fun. I'd like to go back next year.  :)
