It was a great honor when the Bukidnon local government got me to be the official documentor/photographer for this year’s KAAMULAN festival. It was one of the difficult assignments I had so far as I was to document the festival’s entire major events and was also doing part-time teaching in Xavier University. I had to go back and forth in each city, Cagayan de Oro City and Malaybalay City, travelling by motorcycle early in the morning. I had to bring with me my motorcycle because it was very efficient going to different events during the festival as there were really lots of people in Malaybalay that time from locals to international tourists. Malaybalay City is a 2-hour ride from Cagayan de Oro City, a place atop mountains and has this nice cold weather which the festival takes place every year. I would like to thank my sister; Irene Aserios for helping me cover some of the major events. I always need a back up photographer in case of emergency. Sometimes we just don’t know when our gadgets might die on us. And also my sister is the writer of the articles within the photobook. And to my brother Ben Aserios for the assistance who by the way also is a videographer under Atoy Martinez.

This Kaamulan Festival 2010 photobook is made possible by the Provincial Government of Bukidnon led by Governor Jose Ma. Zubiri, Jr., Festival Directress May Flor Beltran-Intong, Provincial Tourism Office, all event sponsors,
