Sangkaan Festival Grand Opening Parade

Sangkaan is an ethnic practice distinguished by street dancing and festivities performed through ancestral music and dance. Every year, it takes place during the first seven days of September. This demonstrates the battle between the local Manobo and Muslim privateers who laid out Tandag as a Moro fortification in the pre-Spanish period. This is one of the grandest celebration and fiesta in the City aside from 'Araw ng Surigao del Sur'. A lot of local artists and performers

Sangkaan Festival Memories

I was once a Sangkaan performer way back in high school. Our school won a lot of titles and awards during the previous Sangkaan Festival's. We even bagged back-to-back champions in Sangkaan street dancing competitions.

My Mother as the Matron Queen (Allen-1)

Thanks to the effort of our fellow Christians, they elected my mother as the 2022 Matron Queen of San Nicolas de Tolentino Church through raising and solicting money. This contest is held every year during the city's Fiesta Celebration. Each of the barangays has a representative, and then each member of the barangay will raise an amount of money. Whoever raises the largest sum will be the winner. 60% of the raised funds will then be used for the construction of the new San Nicolas de Tolentino Cathedral.

Abrupt Drone Shots and some Interruptions

As you can see in the video, all my shots were not that good because it is my first time flying a drone in a crowded place. There are a lot of wires that I may bump into and signal interruptions due to wireless connections all over the city. I even get bad remote control signals every time I fly my drone above the wires. Thank goodness for Adobe Premiere, which allows me to easily select clips and cut them so that they look clean. Some of the clips were in slow motion so that they would prolong the sequence.
