Successful fiesta activities

Happy 41St fiesta Senior Santiago Apostol...

We are currently celebrating the birth of Senior Santiago here at Brgy. Lapu-lapu jerome. This is my very first experience to become a part of the organizing team who made this fiesta possible..

I am grateful to have this kind of experience, though it's a bit tiring but I don't care anyway. The activity consists of the following games: Bring me, paluan ng palayok, sack race, Ubas Lahi, Flour game and the highlight of the day; Palo Sebo.

I am hesitant (at first) that we can be able to lure some crowds and participants to participate on the activities that we have planned since there is no official announcements being done by the officials the day before. Still, I am confident that this event will be successful though. A few minutes after we started our first activity, only few kids where there to participate. Lucky kiddos because we are giving money as prizes to those who win. It turned out well as time elapsed since we got the attention of more people considering the fact that there is money involved upon winning.. Mga pinoy tlga ooh.

The last game for everyone was the Palo-Sebo. It was the highlight of the day since there are a lot of people who participated, enjoyed and even donated (some cash as an additional reward) to make the game more exciting.. 

first attempt. Prize at stake: 500Php

The original rule: you have to get the flag alone with the allotted time of 5minutes given to you. If you failed to get the flag, you are out of the game and we will give the chance to other participants.. It seems like the bamboo was oily enough too crash out all the participants' names on the list of players. 

The game was getting a lot of attention to the people lurking around the main street of the village. We even got the attention of our very own brgy. captain and some kagawads. So the show must go on and the prize must be given to people. So we let these kids together with some teenagers to unite for the goal. To reach the flag.!!!

don't mind those dirts, mind the prize. xD

Even though the nature of teamwork has been there already, they're still having hard time getting the flaaaggg...!! The game became more exciting as some kagawads raised up the prize up to a total of 2,500php. wow that's a huge amount.!! Finally.. They got the flag...

At the end of the day, the activity we worked and planned for became a success. What a rewarding feeling to celebrate our 41St fiesta.. :)
