Ilocos Norte 1.0 - May Himala!
First week of May, I received a call from a friend connected with Ilocos Norte Provincial Capitol inviting our local photography group, Shutter Revolution to send some delegates to cover the event, LO-FI style. To say I was ecstatic to join is an understatement.
The event Himala sa Buhangin was the culmination of the week-long La Virjen Milagrosa Festival of Ilocos Norte. Himala is derived from that infamous line uttered by none other than Nora Aunor, “Walang Himala!” (There are no miracles!) which Ilocos Norte took as a battle cry yelling “May Himala” (It’s a miracle!) instead.
Art installations, mural paintings, sand castles and Moroccan nights awaits so read on.
