Cultural groups consisting of DWU students, staff members and their relatives danced throughout the day.
Some relatives came all the way from their provinces to dress and dance with their sons, daughter or nieces and nephews.
Tourists and locals came to watch and many stayed late into the afternoon too excited to leave early.

Highlands province.
I was captivated by the colors of the costumes, the differences in their attire and also some of the dances I have never seen before, there was a wider range of Singsings than other cultural events I had been too.

I took so many photos I could not decide which ones to upload onto my blog, but these were chosen firstly to display the wide range of cultural groups and I liked them.

I was also thrilled that the students were not embarrassed or ashamed when I asked to take photos and did not lose patience when I wanted to take more.
