Note: For now, we can only post some selected photos that show a glimpse of how Cordillera Day 2004 was celebrated. Clicking on each thumbnail photo will display a higher resolution (640x480) picture. Note that some photos have a bluish tint, which is the result of the main tent material's blue color. Although we did some digital enhancement, we did not go out of our way to remove the tint. If you need more pics or higher-quality photos, please contact us at cpa11@skyinet.net, at cpa@cpaphils.org, or at webmaster@nordis.net. Please attribute all photos to Cordillera Peoples Alliance/NORDIS Photos.
