My day at the Inauguration grounds of our new President of the Philippines

Hello everyone ^_^

Melanie "Thyrene" Paz here, on the scene of Rizal Park, where the Quirino Grandstand host the inauguration of this countries new President.

Because I love our great country, I traveled through rain and bad weather, along with my Cameraman sidekick brother "Myles"(Images that include me are taken by Myles Paz). I wanted to give everyone an inside look at the preparation for this pivotal event in our countries history.

Benigno Aquino III sworn in as President on these very grounds, truly an inspiring event for every Filipino to behold.

I met some really nice staff and professionals who were preparing for Inaugural event, including film crews. They were very nice and let me take some behind-the-scenes photos of them setting up.

The people in charge of the main stage area were very considerate, and let me take pics of the places where our new President take an oath in person.

It was so exciting and amazing to be standing on the very stage, a day before Benigno Aquino III sworn as new President of the Republic of the Philippines.
