It made me feel like I was back in a barangay or barrio back in Ilocos as I Participated in the Santacruzan as Reyna Rosa Mystica. I am very Westernize/Americanize as I’m born and raised in the States however participating in this allowed me to embrace my heritage that I am proud of. Several rides, games, and food stands are present. There were performance and competitions going on at night. Embrace your red, yellow, & blue and support your Filipino community!
