panagbenga... nakow! ok sana yan maganda BUT... lately parang sobrang dami na tao = sobrang trapikkkk as in grabe. Tip: If you plan to go here at mamasyal sa "usual" tourist spots, kalimutan mo na yung pasyal you will probably be disappointed. In other words, just go there for the festival itself then maybe just walk around burnham for a the day. kain kain na lang (cafe by the ruins favorite namin ) wag na muna lumayo mata trap lang kayo sa trapikkk. Next day na kayo mamasyal baka sakaling wala na trapik. yun lang sa experience ko di naman nagtataas rooms considerably.. may chance nga lang na yung mga malalapit e booked na. good luck bro!
