Kids’ Style: Sto. Nino Fiesta in Baesa

Every third Sunday of January marks the feast of Sto. Nino and in Baesa, my father’s hometown, part of the tradition is having a “sagala” or “santacruzan” wherein the little boys and girls would dress up nicely then would parade in the streets of the barangay. I am the only little boy in the family, all of my first cousins are girls

Here’s a better view of the dress that we wear on that occasion together with my grand mother.

And here’s my solo, actually I’ve used this barong last year and that time it was a little big for me but yesterday it fits me very well.

FlashBack: Joined Sagala

The first time I joined Sagala also known as Santa Cruzan was in January 2006, I am almost one year old only.  It was for the feast of Sto. Nino.

Of course I didn’t walk, I was in a stroller but I am wearing a Barong. I was so excited that time that I didn’t sleep in the afternoon, sagala starts at around 5 – 6 pm. When the procession started I was already sleepy :D . yes, you guess it right, I fall asleep in the middle of the procession and I woke after the procession. hahaha. I was not able to wave at my fans waiting for me to pass by at their house. haha
