Araw ng Makati
Friday and it was Araw ng Makati (Makati Day). Strangely, it was not declared a non-working holiday unlike the same celebration in Cebu and Davao. Anyway, there was a parade in Ayala Ave: a series of floats, some celebreties, street dancing in costumes, papier mache higantes (giants), some big business representatives, brass bands and the usual city government employees.

It was the first time for me to see confetti raining down Ayala Ave. This is usually done when parades happen or some major event unfolds along this famous avenue.

Jorge, a spectator. What attracted me to this fellow was his unusual shades with a hologram of a catlike image. And he was willing to have his photo taken. No qualms about it.

Nina the singer, she was atop a float waving to the spectators.
