Wearing costumes made from dried water lily leaves and stalks, students of the Golden Acres National High School perform at the 11th Water lily Festival street dancing competition Thursday at the Villar Sipag C5 Extension in Las Piñas City. The water lily, once considered a scourge for clogging waterways, has spawned a unique handicraft industry for Las Piñas, which now produces baskets, mats, and other woven creations from the water plant.(Ali Vicoy / mb.com.ph)
