Aliwan Fiesta 2013 - Festival Floats Winners

Aside from the amazing street dance contingents that filled the cities of Manila and Pasay last weekend as we celebrate the grandest festival of festival, Aliwan Fiesta also blasted more fun, as they host the Aliwan Fiesta 2013 Festival Float Competition.

Aliwan Fiesta will never be complete without these amazing and gigantic mobilizing beauty that represents the region, as well as the contingent, it stand for. And during the Aliwan Fiesta 2013, 14 amazing and captivating floats paraded from Quirino Grandstand in Luneta, Manila City to the Aliw Theater in CCP Complex, Pasay City to share the beauty the our country powerfully possesses.

So, from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, spectators of this bigger and better Aliwan Fiesta mesmerized as they see upfront the colorful and rich culture and heritage that the Philippines has. And during that time, people also saw the beauties vying for the crown of Reyna ng Aliwan 2013.

I must say that those ladies are deserving to be there, but sadly for them, my eyes are on the floats that are talking to me and saying that I should visit their region or provinces soon! 

I also do have my own favorites, but since I think everyone took a lot of time conceptualizing what they wanna present, I will just keep my mouth shut, and I'll just let you know which float did the judges pick as the best one. :-)
