Hala Bira…Hala Bira…
Region 6 will regain the title again.
For the past 2 years it seems that we are reaping the awards.Is there any good competitor out there?
ericd001 » April 24th, 2006 at 2:13 pm
Monica,
meron.. the Sinulog festival, for the first time will be joining the Aliwan. A lot has been written already about the Sinulog’s Lumad Basakanon group. read the other article from this site.
and i guess this year will be a tough year for the region 6, as there will be 30 festivals competing. last year 16 lang yata..
Good luck sa lahat ng Participants!

TAGA Cebu (Urgello) » January 28th, 2007 at 11:48 am
comment lang last sinulog 2007 sa Cebu, Outstanding talaga and Lumad Basakaon. Ive seen them perform several years already as PLDT, Cebu Auto Glassmasters and other names. Hope you can continue doing your best. Good Luck sa Aliwan..
Some people are saying na out-of–town contingents are better than Cebu’s contingent. Of course they should/must be better..a province or a city or town subsidized/supported by one city/province/town should be able to give outstanding performance compared to elementary and high shcools of Cebu and Cebu Province. Other provinces/cities/towns practiced months before the Sinulog while Cebu’s schools practice around December and they have to solicit costumes pa. See the reason why OTC have more costumes and props.
Peace

karasikas … yung choreographer nila.. pinagtitripan yung isang propsmen… hinuhusgahan ng kung ano-ano…hindi muna kasi inaalam kung ano ang totoo… at king cnu ang tunay na tamad na propsmen..syangapala…wag mo na ako uling mumurahin dahil kahit kelan hindi na aq sasali sa inyo..buti nga hindi naka-place sa sinulog!
shamaicah » April 8th, 2007 at 3:44 am
why everyone claims that they are good..ofcouse…FILIPINOS are good all the times…very unique ang festival…thats why no need to bet whose the best festival in the Philippines..cuz all performers from different regions in the country are the best from their towns and cities….thats why everyone should be proud of being part of aliwan festival…it is not a showcase of boasting one’s festival but it is a call for everyone in the region to make its festival more meaningful and colorful in order to let everyone comes to you place…..MABUHAY!
alessa » May 3rd, 2007 at 9:42 pm
