Elvises Walking in Enchanted Kingdom
It’s been quite sometime since I have visited Enchanted Kingdom, considered as the premier amusement park in the Philippines. So when the opportunity came through an email invitation from Myla of Enchanted Kingdom to take part on the event, I thought this would be a fun day and decided to join in with the other bloggers. The last day of the month of January pays tribute to the king of rock and roll – Elvis Presly!
EK Black Elvis Points
To be honest, I really find it funny when I see people try to impersonate Elvis. Those flashy, buttoned-down white costumes along with those loose pelvic-shake movements and sparkling sheen plump-front hair with some loose hair strands swaying on the forehead is just a standout. I guess that’s a good word to describe Elvis, a standout musician whose work influenced a lot of people until now. I guess those fans, behind the glitz and glamour, just wanted to bring that sparkling energy back and share them to the new generation.
Chito Bertol the First Philippine Elvis
Enchanted Kingdom pays tribute to Elvis on its birth month of January. There’s this grand parade and also a singing contest hosted by none other than the first Filipino Elvis Chito Bertol. It was just real fun watching their performances and one could see real passion in them. Young and old doesn’t make a difference.
Eric Alvarez Elvis Singing Contest Winner
It was a surprising end though as the younger generation Elvis Eric Alvarez got the main award. I saw his performance, he has the young Elvis look at first glance and sings well too. But the runner-ups Ed Agbayari and Jun Capili put up an awesome performance as well. It was fun show, something that compliments their rides.

this was a rather neat and cool tribute. i was betting on the eventual winner but wasn’t so sure until they announced the winner. what a way to revisit enchanted kingdom again after so many years — an elvis parade
my dad is an elvis fan. he surely will enjoy that event but im sure he wont dress up like that.
Elvis continues to generate revenue decades after his death because of fans like them. I may have been an Elvis fan myself if I was born during his time.
what if lahat ng tao mukhang elvis? parang lego siguro tayo nun. =p
Nice pics. hehe.. I can almost say without a shadow of a doubt that these Pinoy Elvises can sing
Iba talaga ang Pinoy basta kantahan ang pag-uusapan
