FIESTA SA MINDANAO! is a presentation of the colorful festivals of Mindanao. This southern Philippine island has a mixed population of indigenous Lumads, the Moro people and the Christian settlers. This beautiful mixture of people can be best seen in Mindanao’s festivals, the peoples’ rich culture expressed in the colorful costumes and exotic street dances. A festival involves thousands of details of costumes and props and dances and people. Each photograph in this book captures a group of details which, taken together, conveys the spirit of the festival. From the wide angle view of a dance formation, to a close up of the participants’ expressions, these photographs have captured exuberance, humor, amazing feats and drama. Each picture is a story as told by a photojournalist.

"A+ must-see!" Nice to see a publication full of great-looking pictures covering the renowned Fiestas of Mindanao! Rich/vibrant in color and professional still captures of everything there is to see in these yearly cultural events. Photojournalism at its best... well done Bobby!
"A fine work of art!" World Class photography of unique Mindanao events! A compilation worth keeping. Who else can publish this book best but a native of Mindanao himself, Bobby T! I hope all libraries in the Philippines will carry this book, so that this colorful and well crafted book will lead to better appreciation of Mindanao and its culture. Good work bobby! You make me proud as a fellow Iliganon!
