Masskara Festival 2012
16th ABS-CBN MASK MAKING COMPETITION
One of the most famous festivals in the Philippines today, the MassKara Festival in Bacolod City was born 32 years ago.
One of the happiest festival in the country, it rose from the gloom that enveloped the city in 1980s, a period of tragedy and economic dislocation.
During this period, the prices of sugar in the world market were at an all-time low. Negrenses, including Bacolenos, were in a crisis as the province only relied in the sugar industry then.
The depression was further aggravated when passenger vessel Don Juan sank on April 22, where an estimated 700 Negrenses, including prominent families, perished.
