Sarangani Kite Festival 2014

Alabel Sarangani Province - The 1st Goldenboy Herrera Kite Festival Summer Fun in Alabel, Sarangani Province. 
Despite the scorching heat of the sun, we gamely agreed to go and see em kites flying. Yesterday's was an open competition for kids and teens. Kites were made of light materials like newspaper, banana leaves and twigs but you'll be amazed at how creative these flying thingy has been made!

The sky was blue and the wind was blowing just right. Seems to me like no turbulence of some sort will fail the players to control their reel and set their kites steady up there. Spectators and kite enthusiasts were swarming around the kite zone not mindful of the blazing heat of the sun.

Kite flying is indeed more fun in the Philippines...

The competition is set for the adults division today(May 9). I bet sleds and rotor type kites are among those flying today.As of press time, our friend Ariel Lalisan (member of the organizing team) says the battle of sizes has just begun! A mean P50,000 is up for the grabs!
