The giant masks were put up by Barangays 2, 10, 11, 21, Vista Alegre, Montevista, Bata,

Barangay 36, Villamonte and Mansilinga­n displayed their Masskara giant masks with a descriptio­n on how the artists and the barangays came up with the designs that depicted the story of the respective barangay.

At the second floor of the mall are the 17 full body costumes of the Masskara festival street dance and arena which will be worn by the dancers during the competitio­n set on October 23, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. with the arena dance competitio­n to capture the spotlight at the Paglaum Sports Complex.

All these costumes and masks were inspired by the Balik Yuhum theme of this year’s grandest Masskara festival which came very timely after the two-year lull caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

People have shown their excitement on the various events that the grandest Masskara festival has offered in the three-week period of the festivity.*
