Every year, the city of Davao in southern Mindanao celebrates the Kadayawan festival. From all over Mindanao, street dancers come together in a competition. There were more than two dozen entries this year, and Lanuza was one of them after winning the Caraga festival (see my previous posts). This picture was taken by my friend Declan, and I love how it captures the excitement of the moment, right before the showdown.
