Got overwhelmed a bit watching all the videos and enjoying your amazing shots, Marcos! Good job! Those ladies with shells allover their bodies, are they part of the Buyugan group? I didn’t see them in the video..probably because it was so dark when the video was taken. Anyways, I like their costumes particularly!
thanks Lee. Yes those are the Buyogan group from Leyte. They’ve probably the most intricate costume. I also like how detailed their costumes are.
