Sights and Sounds: Halloween P. Burgos Style

P. Burgos may be your usual 24/7 community. But when Halloween knocks, the area is transformed into a strip of horror not recommended for the faint of heart. Bars compete for a prize for the best design while individuals compete for the best costume award.

Take a look.

Tourists and locals alike flock to P. Burgos Street in Makati for this annual Halloween even. This is the view from my condo's veranda at the 19th floor

Walk like an Egyptian? More like pose as an Egyptian

Would you like to play basketball with this guy?

Or maybe basketball with this guy?

Our "statue" takes a break by lighting s cig.

And again, it's show time!

She's supposed to be a fairy of some sort......

Make way for the Pharaoh!

Girl on the left as Black Darna. For those of you who do not know who Darna is, she is the Filipino equivalent of Super Girl. The guy on the other hand is dressed as a dark/fallen angel.

Look, another fairy... (so to speak)

If memory serves me right, this is a character from Darna, one of the villains.

May the fart be with you... errrr not you Lord Sith!

Suddenly, construction workers make me scared.

Have you heard of "Halimaw sa Banga"? Well this one is a monster in a drum...

Not sure what to make of this.... it's creepy though.

A supposed demon....

Now this one really freaked me out. He is being paraded hanging by a rope.

Scary right?

We have taken blood transfusion to the next level.

ho-hum........ not sure what this is

The Black and White version I took of this character is scarier.

More of that crucified creature

and another angle

Now talk about being true to your role. This lady in white scares people when they least expect it. She just lies in there and then scares the heck out of you when you let your guard down.

It's almost 2am, yet people are still coming from everywhere.
