11AAAASSDD
You have seen those giant paper-mache mascots and those colorful rabbit lanterns and now, here’s another highlight of the Bangenge Festival, the Lantern-making contest. What really makes this contest more interesting is the fact that students and other participants from different schools and barangays were encouraged to use a not-so-typical material for their lanterns.Β The goal is to create a lantern out of a recycled material. You will be surprised how resourceful and creative these participants are. These star-shaped lanterns are known as Parol that represents the star of Bethlehem.PC152591tThe frame of these lanterns are usually made from bamboo sticks.

    I would choose the one with recycled printed papers and magazines for only one reason- it is genuinely recycled. Recycling for me is using used things to make something else just like the Yakult one or the one I chose. Have a great weekend!

    a very good initiatives for the authority to get participants to make lanterns using recycled materials, and that must have got the participants being very creative and have fun with the process of making the lanterns.. I personally like the one using coconut leaves, it’s very special.. πŸ™‚

    you are right! all of them surely a winner. I am a bad judge, I couldn’t decide which is the winner. I like the one with disposable spoon and fork, and drinking straws… and also bamboo sticks. πŸ™‚
