Philippine Holiday Season






Christmas in the Philippines would be incomplete without the PAROLE or Christmas lanterns. they come in all sizes, shapes and colors. December 15 we drove up to San Fernando, Pampanga, for its annual Parole Festival, reputed to be one of the best in the country. Eight barangay took part in the contest of giant paroles, each about 15 ft in diameter and within each a network of wires and computer to provide a fascinating show of music and lights. These pictures do not really do justice to the show of constantly moving lights of so many colors and patterns.
