Ladies and gentlemen, showcasing the ingenuity of the Pinoy! Using only inexpensive materials, the participants, called kite marshalls, built gigantic birds, insects, superheroes, flags, churches, even tricyles and a pair of bakya (local clogs). They all flew!
Kite festivals were held from 1990-2005 by the Magna Kultura Foundation all over the country. It is a Non-government organization whose goal is to uplift the morale of the grassroots by building their capacities through education and arts and crafts.
Kite-flying is a most enjoyable outdoor sport, especially since it's all-summer weather in the Philippines. Indeed, when we fly our kites, it's our dreams that soar.
Hope you enjoyed these!
