On the third week of February every year, tourists come to Baguio not just to watch the much anticipated Floral Parade but also the Street Dance Parade.
Today, it just happened and it attracted million of people from different sides of the country and even abroad.
The street dance parade were participated by different institutions and organizations with the lead of the City Government and other local government units of Benguet.
It started early. In fact, various members of the Boy Scouts of the Philippines prepared for their duties at six in the morning.
Interns and students of NSTP of different college and Universities in Baguio helped in crowd control, and even littering control for th mevent.
Also, as of 7:25, bleachers in the Athletic Bowl was almost full and Session Road was pretty much jampacked with people who wanted to watch the parade.
As of 9:15, the participants started to arrive at the athletic bowl, the "final destination" of the parade.
As usual, the Philippine Military Academy band heads the parade.
The parade went smooth with the grace and colorful costumes of the participants.
On the other hand, ambulances and different medical groups were just around the area to monitor the crowd and be just ready in case of emergency.
Tomorrow, more people are expected because it is the much awaited event in the City. Tourists say that they hope the crowd would be more disciplined, and hope no danger.
It is safe to assume that there is about 2.2 million people in Baguio visiting/staying for the weekend.
