Some groups, however, chose to wear costumes that featured the city’s most popular products, such as woven baskets, strawberries, and “walis tambo” or brooms made of local plant materials.</p><p>Beyond a bright spectrum of colors, the performances also highlighted Cordillera’s rich culture—from ethnic music to traditional dances. Some groups performed “tayaw,” a popular Cordillera dance routine, while others imitated the cañao, a dance ritual Cordillerans perform on sacred occasions.</p><p>Kalinga tattoos, as popularized by Apo <a href="http://news.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/03/15/15/96-year-old-tattoo-artist-keeps-kalinga-tradition-alive">Whang-Od</a>, and colorful textiles from different indigenous groups in Northern Philippines were also highlighted. Noticeably, some performers wore costumes that imitated the wings of bees and butterflies, paying tribute to the pollinators that keep the city’s flower industry vibrant.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Koreans belonging to an association in Baguio don their traditional costumes during the Grand Street Parade | Rhys Buccat <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Panagbenga2017?src=hash">#Panagbenga2017</a> <a href="https://t.co/BhAWTgfc3q">pic.twitter.com/BhAWTgfc3q</a></p>— ABS-CBN Lifestyle (@ABSCBNNewsLife) <a href="https://twitter.com/ABSCBNNewsLife/status/835282935171297281">February 25, 2017</a></blockquote><script async="" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Girls in festive outfits wow the crowd of <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Panagbenga2017?src=hash">#Panagbenga2017</a> | via Rhys Buccat <a href="https://t.co/r0Lh0lYgy1">pic.twitter.com/r0Lh0lYgy1</a></p>— ABS-CBN Lifestyle (@ABSCBNNewsLife) <a href="https://twitter.com/ABSCBNNewsLife/status/835289993153171456">February 25, 2017</a></blockquote><script async="" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">This group arrives in their flamboyant wings and sunflower umbrellas for <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Panagbenga2017?src=hash">#Panagbenga2017</a> Grand Street Parade. | via Rhys Buccat <a href="https://t.co/GQ4fxXXVWx">pic.twitter.com/GQ4fxXXVWx</a></p>— ABS-CBN Lifestyle (@ABSCBNNewsLife) <a href="https://twitter.com/ABSCBNNewsLife/status/835292004418363393">February 25, 2017</a></blockquote><script async="" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">WATCH: A group wears costumes inspired by Baguio Metamorphosis, a dance group that joined &#x27;PGT&#x27;. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Panagbenga2017?src=hash">#Panagbenga2017</a> | via Rhys Buccat <a href="https://t.co/uHTh3hJac1">pic.twitter.com/uHTh3hJac1</a></p>— ABS-CBN Lifestyle (@ABSCBNNewsLife) <a href="https://twitter.com/ABSCBNNewsLife/status/835295861043187712">February 25, 2017</a></blockquote><script async="" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">WATCH: A group merges Igorot and Ati-atihan costumes | via Rhys Buccat <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Panagbenga2017?src=hash">#Panagbenga2017</a> <a href="https://t.co/bq1yL8eaR7">pic.twitter.com/bq1yL8eaR7</a></p>— ABS-CBN Lifestyle (@ABSCBNNewsLife) <a href="https://twitter.com/ABSCBNNewsLife/status/835298354590584832">February 25, 2017</a></blockquote><script async="" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">WATCH: The last performers of the parade wear the different textiles of the Cordillera region. | via Rhys Buccat <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Panagbenga2017?src=hash">#Panagbenga2017</a> <a href="https://t.co/u5Ylu2UrHy">pic.twitter.com/u5Ylu2UrHy</a></p>— ABS-CBN Lifestyle (@ABSCBNNewsLife) <a href="https://twitter.com/ABSCBNNewsLife/status/835304733774524418">February 25, 2017</a></blockquote><script async="" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">A truck collects bits of garbage left by tourists after watching the street parade in Baguio. | via Rhys Buccat <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Panagbenga2017?src=hash">#Panagbenga2017</a> <a href="https://t.co/TyP6iDsSHb">pic.twitter.com/TyP6iDsSHb</a></p>— ABS-CBN Lifestyle (@ABSCBNNewsLife) <a href="https://twitter.com/ABSCBNNewsLife/status/835313217215815681">February 25, 2017</a></blockquote><script async="" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script>
