Hi TL:

I found this info at: http://www.artesdelasfilipinas.com/archives.php?page_id=20

“Giant heads are fashioned from the mold made of clay, which is dried under the sun’s blazing heat. With the rapid growth of modernization and technology clay changed to plaster of Paris and resin. The mold is pasted with lots of newspapers then split into the middle and sun-dried, after which it is then again pasted with the brown paper or Manila paper then split into the middle and sun-dried. The outside body is painted with different designs or dressed with yards of yards of clothing materials and accessories to complete their costume and the inner body is made of bamboo, rattan and thin iron bars. ”

i’m very interested in how they make these higante. Can you provide some pictures on the internal part of the higante, or if more information on the building of it? Will love to make some of these for a float competition. Thanks a lot.

WOW! these things are HUGE. What an interesting festival, I have to get to Angono someday to experience this amazing festival for myself. I hope that your site will feature an Angono town attractions soon too, will like to read on what the place has to offer other than this Higantes festival.
