                    [Summary] => BAGUIO CITY — With nary a drop of rain, yesterday’s parade of 34 flower-bedecked floats, a culmination of the city’s month-long Panagbenga Festival, went on smoothly.


The scene was a total reversal of Saturday’s street dancing parade when a heavy downpour drenched the daintily clad participants, many of them elementary pupils. It was the first time in nine years that the festival got rained out.
