This is my 5th attempt to upload this. The Internet connection was just so unstable. Probably because of the storm on another part of the country.
Belen or the Nativity Scene
A number of these Belens (Nativity Scene) are displayed on a school ground. The Belens were made of mostly native and recycled materials. I particularly liked this one.
While it is mostly made of bamboo, coconut leaves and ropes, what caught my attention was the Holy Family, the Three Kings and even the angels are made of old rubber tires. Maybe I should take a close up pic next time.

nice i love those photos! so beautiful decoration
nice phoito i love the belen display
I liked the image very much indeed
I was mistaken! The people are not made of tires, they are made of pots!
Good friendship with nature!
Yup. They also have lanterns made of recycled and native materials.
Nice post! Nice picture!
Very nice to see these still displayed. SO many are protesting against it. Crazy.
yeah. I read about the protest which they started to do a few years ago. Philippines though is mostly predominantly Catholic, so this has been a long standing tradition accepted even by non-Catholic Christians.
How wonderful and interesting. That is so awesome!
