I think this is my favorite of the Pahiyas photos you've shared.
The women's red hat sets off the others which become part of the picture and almost don't seem like hats! A little more of the hats as a border at the top and straigtening would just make this almost unbeatable.
the festival is actually the feast of san isidro de labrador (patron saint of farmers)...but the town is also famous for making buntals hats which they export to different parts of the world. hats costs around 35-150 pesos or roughly 30 cents to 3us dollars.
it is the most colorful festival in the philippines-held annually on may 15.
