For all you vampires out there,
There will be an Aswang festival on Oct 27-28 in Capiz. Should be interesting and I heard thru the grapevine that the Davao dracula will be the master of ceremonies.:RedEye:

i think aswang festival is almost the same as the sinulog festival, parades etc etc with scary but colorful customes..since we know capiz as a haven of aswang theyre trying to change that and making it work to thier advantage...:)

Oh, I thought Aswang Festival is in Sequijor. Capiz is a beautiful, serene province according to my friends. Hopefuly I can visit the place once.

Hey guys. I am a native born Capiznon. In fact, my parents are still there in Roxas City, the capital of Capiz. We celebrate the Halaran Festival during this time of the year. It is somehow patterned around the idea of the natives giving gifts to the discoverers. Sorry, I was absent when this was discussed in my history class so I cannot elaborate further as much as I would want to. :Grin: Another event that we also celebrate is the Diwal Festival where everybody feasts on this one of a kind sea shell. My city is really the seafood capital of the Philippines. It's one place worth going to. Btw, I am a certified aswang. He he he.
