Philippines, auspicious to have countless variety of flowers. A true paradise surrounded by exotic flowers, tropical orchids, roses, lilies, sunflowers, and more other colorful flower variations. That's why every year Baguio City celebrates the grandest event, during February to March, The Panagbenga Flower Festival. Tourists and foreigners from around the world are always expected to drive all the way to Baguio City to witness this much awaited happening.
The flower capital of the Philippines, as we all know the City of Pines, has a cool climate, that's the reason why various kinds of flowers are found here. Most of the beautiful species of flowers that we love like roses, sunflowers, marigolds, poinsettia, dahlia and more. Baguio also is the main source for flower in Manila, including the flowers in Dangwa.

This well participated celebration never fails to entertain the crowd, fantastic costumes are worn while parading on the streets, beds of flowers covering the Panagbenga parade float and street dancing competitions.

The term Panagbenga is a Kankanaey term that means “a season of blossoming, a time for flowering”. This was created to give tribute to Baguio city's flowers, and also a way to rise up from a devastation that city suffered after the 1990 earthquake.
I hasten to add! – but one berated me for not considering the use of algae as an important source of biofuels in my article.
