Behind the Scenes: Sinulog Festival Queen 2015

Tonight, the Sinulog Festival Queen Runway Competition and Photoshoot was held at the SM City Cebu Northwing. These events let spectators have a closer look at the festival queens’ beautiful gowns and excellent runway skills.

This year’s program started at 6 pm. As usual and as expected, the event was very well-attended. I arrived late because we had a meeting at work. Naturally, when I got there, the only view left for me was the back of super-tall people or the super-powerful cameras of other photographers.

Since I had no chance against these superpowers, I decided to do the next best thing. I went backstage. Here are my photos. 🙂
