The 10 challenges and 1 result of Kisan Lu's floral float

In every success, there are great stories behind. We would like to share the 10 challenges we have encountered even before the making of the float. This year's Kadayawan especially  Pamulak Festival is very memorable to Kisan Lu Lands since we have surpassed all of these challenges by taking the risks.

1. Not all the members of the board are interested anymore to join the festival believing that we cannot go anymore beyond our limitations.

2. The President and CEO,Arch. Kristin Lu was not ready to battle again unless we will present an excellent concept of the float.The design presentation was a big challenge to the artists.

3. The creative team has to think of better mechanism to the giants and should meet the majorities expectations.

4. The giants operators could hardly maneuver the puppets because of the strong winds in the motorpool. They couldn't even dance or walk.

5. We were afraid of the possible protests since we will introduce this unique concept in Davao for the very first time.

6. Minutes before the parade, one of the giants collapsed due to exhaustion telling us that he could not bear the weight anymore. This time, we could feel our heart pumping. dug.dug.DUG.dug.

7. We were aware that the remaining 'giants' have to walk from Roxas avenue to San Pedro and we were also aware that anytime they will collapse. Thank God for keeping them awake.

8. Some fruits and flowers in the float were damaged due to emergencies. The rescuers have to step on the little fruits and floras. There was no other way.

9. The other participants are national players.We were beating ourselves and torturing our minds of the idea that we are just a homegrown company and they are big companies.

10. Excitement kills.

And the only 1 result after taking all the risks and accepting these challenges-- UNITY.

It is not the P500,000. It is not even the prestige. The experience was all about unity. It was the only time where the owners, staffs and utilities worked hand in hand not inside an air-conditioned room but on the road.

Thousands of spectators,dabawenyos and tourists joined the celebration of Kadayawan sa Davao especially during the Pamulak Festival or Floral Float Parade as one of the festival's highlights.

Finally, Kisan Lu Lands Inc. bagged the grand prize for this year's floral float parade. It has been the dream of the company to reach the highest award after winning the 2nd place for two consecutive years in the Pamulak but definitely the company will not stop supporting the city's events such as Kadayawan.
