Project Description: Baguio City, also known as the City of Pines, is well-known for celebrating the Flower Festival,"Panagbenga" annually, wherein the citizens enjoy various activities for the entire month of February extending up to the first week of March.

"Panagbenga" showcases the intricate culture of the city. The flowers are the main attraction, although we want to go deeper and open the elegance and artistry of what the Flower festival has to offer. The elements of Panagbenga serve as a significant game changer and such beauty makes the festival bloom even better. The culture expresses the grace of how it is celebrated. May it be modern or traditional the Flower Festival truly carries a complex yet a exquisite structure.

One of our team’s objectives is to maximize our skills in order to show our festival. With the emerging technology in our modern day-era, students can engage and unite themselves to create a webpage visible to the mass.

Unmasking the festival is our main objective because it is the product of all the labor of the initiator and the local government bearing the foundation of the festival.

As the team explores the city, we are open to information, maximizing our time in order to create a product entry unveiling the true grace and beauty of the Flower Festival, called "Panagbenga".
