Drizzling rain and a cloudy sky could not dampen spirits on Gwangju Philippines Day, organized by the Gwangju-Jeonnam Philippine Community (GJPC). Music, food and pageantry provided a festive atmosphere despite the inclement weather on May 28 in Unam-dong s Geullin Park.
There s excitement in the crisp morning air at Woljeon Park. On the far west side of Gwangju, just north of the end of the subway line, this small tree-lined park is an oasis in a desert of industrial parks.
