While waiting for a ride to the Dipolog Sports Complex, I saw male members of the Ifugao Perfomring Arts Group dressed in indigenous attire ready to leave for their outreach performance in one of the municipalities outside Dipolog. Grabbed the chance for a few portrait snaps. Then in the afternoon, in time for the first concert of the day, I took photos backstage of dancers from the Prasarnmit Performing Arts Alliance of Thailand, the Bagobo Clata of Davao City and the Persatuan Seni Budaya Sabah of Malaysia. Tunogtugan, the 1st International Gongs and Bamboo Music Festival, was truly a convergence of arts and cultures. Textured my shots with experimental circles of colors and images.
