According to BFFFI president Freddie Alquiros, the two activities, the “Grand Street Dancing Parade” and the “Grand Float Parade” last 24 and 25 February 2024, respectively and even the Cultural competition held earlier on 18 February made the meaning of Panagbenga more colorful and of high caliber.

BFFFI also cited that the number of participants these year get bigger. The organizers expected 18 participants to the Grand Street Dance Parade yet the actual number of participants rose to 25.

Former Baguio City Mayor and Congressman and BFFFI chairman for life Mauricio G. Domogan said that they were amazed not only the number of participants to the Grand Float Parade which was 33 small, medium big floats.

He added that the floats were of high quality they really put into realization the theme of this year’s “Panagbenga”: “Celebrating Traditions and Embracing Innovation.”
