For Computer Graphic 2's first assignment involving us designing an e-wallpaper. I decided to go back to my roots. As I'm half-filipino, I chose the festival of Ibalong. It originates from Legazpi, my father's hometown. Ibalong is a feast that celebrates Bicol's ancient history as told in the Ibalong folk-epic fragment that recounts the adventures of Bikol's early heroes : Baltog, Handiong and Bantong. 
For me, what attracts the most attention during the festival is its parade filled with wonderful colors.
