Balayong Festival is celebrated every 4th of March.

This celebration commemorates the founding anniversary of Puerto Princesa.

The highlight of this festival is the planting of the Balayong tree.

Like other Puerto Princesa festivals, this event is marked with street dancing, contests and parades.

Balayong is a Cuyuno term for cherry blossoms which is rumored to be more beautiful than Japan’s cherry blossoms.

pink was everywhere… the floats are covered with flowers to signify the island’s local cherry blossom.

everyone was strutting their stuff…

This festival runs for a week and ends with an awarding ceremony.
