They were the defending champion. It was their first time to join last year and instantly won the Championship trophy. That’s why a lot of other competing groups consider Brgy Mandalagan as the group to beat.
And so last October 17 and 18 they performed at the streets and at the Bacolod City Plaza, with so many people cheering for them.
I love their costume. I thought they’re going to win the Best in Costume trophy. But it was awarded to Brgy Taculing. But they manged to snatch the Best in Mask award. Their mask is much bigger than that of Brgy Taculing. My estimate that Brgy Mandalagan’s maks would weigh about 2.5 kilograms.
I love the effect of their costumes in direct sunlight. It glitters!
And they were the group with the most number of poppers! Confetti showers every change of music to the loud cheer of the people.
While I like Brgy Taculing’s mask because of the intricate details, Brgy Mandalagan is a simple white smiling mask. This probably made them win the special award.
The only thing I do not like in Brgy Mandalagan’s performance is its concept is almost rehashed. If you will compare their performance from lat year, they’re just like the same, only that their costume got better, more confetti shower.
I am confident that if Mandalagan would changed its routine and costume pattern, they can still win the Championship trophy next year.
