Every new year's eve, barangay (village ) Alabang (not to be mistaken with the plush Ayala Alabang Village) holds its mardi gras where groups of young people representing the different areas parade in costumes and props. Took square portraits of the youngsters sporting Chinese and Japanese anime-inspired costumes, masks, make-up and hairstyle at the start of the parade at the churchyard.
