    Caracol Festival, Makati City, Philippines

    By rolandroldan  |  Posted February 27, 2011  |  Makati City, Philippines
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     rolandroldan says, 'Caracol Festival is all about the awareness for our environment. It involved practically all that has to do with environment, the animals, the people and the plants. All has its part in the cycle of life.' He says it's promoted as one of the 'must-see' festivals in the Philippines.
    - rachel8, CNN iReport producer

    Caracol means ‘snail’ in Spanish. And the festival is centered around the preservation of the Mother Earth. This is why the participants, mostly students, are dressed up in various costumes with Mother Nature as their theme – animals, insects, aquatic creatures, plants, trees, birds and flowers are some of the usual choices.The Caracol Festival was first conceptualized in 1986 and was included in the Fiesta Islands Program of the Department of Tourism (DOT) in 1989.
