The winning tribes in this year’s Dinagyang competition Tribu Ilonganon of Jalandoni Memorial National High School and Tribu Kahilwayan of the Sta. Barbara National Comprehensive High School are all set for the Aliwan Fiesta in Manila.

They are going to have a send off party this Friiday at Iloilo Freedom Grandstand. The street leading to the grandstand will be closed for the said send off party.

Iloilo will also field a giant float made of indigenous materials carrying a “big warrior” in full Dinagyang costume of the native Atis during Aliwan Fiesta.

Cara Jeanne Sullano will vie for the Reyna ng Aliwan Beauty Contest.

Dinagyang souvenir items, like Dagoy key chains, Ilonggo delicacies, T-shirts and others, will be exhibited for sale at the Aliwan Bazaar.

Hala Bira Iloilo!

I have been bitten by the travel bug and has been doing a lot of traveling. There is a website which has helped me a lot – http://www.hoparound.net. It gives you an excellent listing of fiestas, where and when it is held. What’s great is that you will also see a list of micro tourism service providers per location. So you can plan your trip to the fiesta you want to visit and arrange for the services you would need during your stay even before your leave your place by using the internet.

it’s so amazing to witness a showcase of various festivals in the philippines.

what’s not good is that losers tend to reject judges’ decisions and create their own stories (like the lutong-macao thing, and boasting that thye’re better than the proclaimed winners).

do we really have to put others down if we do not make it?

During the awarding ceremony of Dinagyang Festival, the two winning tribes (Tribu Kahiilwayan winner of Kasadyahan Contest and Tribu Ilonganon winner of ATI contest) were invited by an official of the Manila Broadcasting Company, to officially represent the Dinagyang Festival in the Aliwan Fiesta 2007 slated on April 2007 in Manila.

Dinagyang is given privilege by the Aliwan Fiesta, as the only festival that will showcase two winning tribes.

I hope also to see more contigents from Iloilo Province aside the two from Dinagyang Festival. The Tultugan Festival of Maasin, Iloilo which was included in top 10 (7th place) performer of Aliwan Fiesta, and the Pintados de Pasi of Passi City, Iloilo which always on the top 3 spot since joining the festival 3 years ago.
