37th MASSKARA FESTIVAL
ABOUT THE 2016 MASSKARA THEME: BACOLOD: BACK ON TRACK
Festivals celebrate the most significant events and developments in a community’s life.
This year, the biggest event in Bacolod was the emergence of a new political order that rose in a background of tumult and unprecedented divisiveness.
That our people pulled through together speaks of our maturity.
That is what we celebrate about in this year’s MassKara.*
