I lived in the barangay Pajo of Lapu-Lapu City most of my life so it pleases me to see a contingent from my neighborhood. I’m glad they found a corporate sponsor this year as their costumes are quite attractive. Now, I wonder if I knew some of these kids!

Knowing that the Balinese are the more discerning critics and not the paying tourists (and there were none in the village square I visited), the dancers of various ages were obviously edgy and were practicing movements while performances were ongoing in the center stage. I was trying to catch one but she ended up catching me.
