PHOTOGRAPHY and WORDS BY MARIANO SAYNO

Every February, the city celebrates the month-long Panagbenga Festival, an annual flower festival that has evolved over the years to become a vibrant display of culture, art, and resilience.

 

From native flowers to grand parades, the Panagbenga Festival is much more than an extraordinary showcase. It is an affirmation of Baguio City’s determination to triumph over adverse times. Panagbenga, which stands for “season of blooming” in the Kankanaey dialect, has become one of the most iconic festivals in the Philippines. As the symbol of both Baguio’s history and cultural values of the Cordillera region, the Panagbenga Festival celebrates the beauty and vibrancy of the local flora and fauna.
