Deemed by the Department of Tourism as the “Christmas Capital of Western Visayas,” the town of Pototan in Iloilo fills its sprawling plaza with a flurry of colorful lights every December, attracting thousands from all over Iloilo and nearby provinces in Panay Island. Here’s some pictures during the opening night of its “IWAG Festival of Lights” this 2009.
In the Philippine Ilonggo dialect, ambot ah literally means "I don't know." After graduating in college, I decided to hold off pursuing my profession and embarked on a free spirited journey of adventure and self-discovery. My travels have led me to many places across the Philippine Islands and South East Asia. I don't know where this path will take me but I'm certain I'll get a lifetime of stories out of it.
Nice photos…
I always miss this colorful Christmas lights in Pototan shown every December. I should make it a point next time to stay in Pototan on another December to catch a glimpse of this yearly scene…
Next year, hehe. Ara lang man di ang Pototan ah.
