FASHION TV COVERAGE OF HARI NG NEGROS 2008

Before the year ends, here is the video of the FTV coverage of Hari ng Negros 2008.

Proud to be a Negrense. Forever Hari ng Negros.

BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS

Its fiesta time once again in Dumaguete. A new Queen and Princess has been chosen. And the city is once again celebrating.

Named after the national hero, the Rizal Boulevard of Dumaguete City is known for its beautiful promenade and dramatic views.





At night, the City converges at the baywalk, lured by the bright lights, the pulsating dance clubs, bars and specialty restaurants.





The baywalk's beautiful reflection illuminates the bay, a contrast to its backdrop, the serene silhouette of the Cuernos de Negros (Horns of Negros) mountains.




Artemis' moon has always kept a watchful eye on this place,

...where old Spanish houses and century-old acacia trees line its breakwaters,

...and where the Americans set up their first educational institution in Asia, the Silliman University.

Not to be outdone, the pioneering French Sisters of St. Paul de Chartres soon followed to shepherd the Catholic faithful.

Oh, yes, the fiesta beckons each year.

A time for the gentle and genteel families of Dumaguete together with their guests, to gather for the traditional feast of thanksgiving for the past year's blessings..

and the Haris to unite again.

To share memories and to paint the town red once more.
Join us on November 24-25 in Dumaguete City.

Proud to be a Negrense. Forever, Hari ng Negros.

EL VIAJERRO

He calls himself "El Viajerro", the traveler.

Leading Negrense artists to new dimensions of discovery.

His bodypainting shows have become legendary in San Carlos City.

Inspiring many to learn the craft.

While opening the doors of imagination to its fullest.

He has resurrected and modified the ancient Negrense art of bodypainting.

Bringing it to new levels of ingenuity.

His photography is priceless.

Capturing the emotions and spirit of an island bursting with color.

Yet at times subdued in nature.

With KINA-ADMAN, the Art Association of San Carlos City, he is quietly leading a revolution to bring the importance of art back to our everyday lives.

The Hari ng Organization salutes Eric Estampador Cabales a.k.a. Nui for his incredible talent and leadership.

You can see Nui and his team transform the Haris and Queens of Negros into walking and breathing masterpieces at "Legends of Sugarlandia - the Hari ng Negros Body Paint and Tribal Fashion Show" on Saturday, November 15 at El Puerto Rico, Dumaguete City.

Also visit his blog at http://viajerro.blogspot.com to get to know more about him. Besides being a painter and artist he is also an events organizer and fashion designer. FTV will do a special feature on his works this weekend.

Proud to be a Negrense. Forever Hari ng Negros.
