The Philippines is divided into large Provinces--similar to our states. Most of our mission is in the Isabella Province. The capital of Isabella is Ilagan. Ilagan is just about 45 minutes from Cauayan City. This past weekend there was a Harvest Festival for the whole province held in Ilagan. We just happened to travel there when they had these floats on display. Many of the larger cities contributed a float. The floats are made from corn, rice and seeds that are harvested in each area. The caribou are not made from natural items, but they represent the province well.
These are a few of our favorites. These people are very creative with making do with what they have. I am often in awe of their ingenuity and creativity.
