The Masskara festival is a festival of smiles where colorful masks are worn to show the happy spirit of the local people of Negros. Indeed, this one is the happiest festival in the country happening annually in October. This celebration is known in Bacolod City popularly called as 'the City of Smiles' in the Philippines.
The term Masskara is coined from two words: mass, meaning crowd, and the Spanish word cara, for face; thus the double meaning for "mask" and "many faces".
Several events were lined up this year 2014 and here are the highlights I've been to.
