Aliwan Fiesta 2006
last in a series
Featured Aliwan Fiesta Contingent:
DINAGYANG FESTIVAL, Iloilo City
Every fourth Sunday of January, the entire city of Iloilo is turned into a one big party place. As early as 2 in the morning, young men start to paint their bodies in black, and wear their colorful costumes. At the strike of 8 in the morning, drumbeats can now be heard all over the place. These painted men go out to the streets and dance to the endless beating of the drums.
The Dinagyang Festival is held annually in honor of the infant Jesus, or the Santo Nino. Usually a dancer or several of them carries a image of the Santo Nino during their dance routine. Tribes circle the Iloilo city proper and perform their dance rituals in five judging areas. In between the five judging areas, they are also required to perform their streetdance routine. The competition is traditionally done in a carousel type.
This year’s Dinagyang Festival representative to the Aliwan Fiesta is the Tribu Ilonganon of Jalandoni National High School, of Lapuz District, Iloilo City.
Tribu Ilonganon is barely new to the Dinagyang Festival. they first joined the Dinagyang Festival in 2005 and immediately landed as 2nd runner up. This year, they have won the grand prize, as well as the Best in Choreography, and Best Choreogapher awards.
Dinagyang Festival is not new to the Aliwan Fiesta. In fact it never failed to win a place in this yearly competition. In 2003, the Dinagyang Festival won the 1st runner up awards. The festival has won the overall championship in the 2004 edition of Aliwan Fiesta. In 2005, the festival has landed 2nd runner up.
This year’s Aliwan Fiesta streetdance competition will be on April 29, at 4PM. The parade will start from Quirino Grandstandstand, down to the CCP complex.

Dinagyang has never to defend its reputation among with others. Its rich reputation was cultured by a deep foundation of tradition and culture. It is free spirited cultural expression of the illongos and was tested on time. For now others may have won on 2006 festival but i believe it will not be for long. I have a great sense of feeling that the dragon will wallop its way on the years to come.

This year (2007) Dinagyang contingent (Tribu Ilonganon will have more suprises and innovations.
Iloilo Kasadyahan (Tribu Kahilwayan) is doing a lot of improvements on their performance.
Iloilo contingents will again reign the Aliwan Fiesta 2007.

Dinagyang is given privilege by the Aliwan Fiesta, as the only festival that will showcase two winning tribes – Tribu Ilonganon and Tribu Kahilwayan – in Manila on April 26-28.

hello PLEX of iloilo…wag naman ganyan,i have read your comments of aliwan 2006,remember plex that our lives has ups and downs…and that means,in every competation theres a winner and theres a loser,we should accept the fact that the iloilo contengent has been defeated by the other contengents such as the lumad basakanon of cebu city…
And you should accept that there are better than the iloilo…that is all i can say,and i do believe that it is not the cebu city who has started this kind of exchanging bad comments and suggestion towards the other,as what i have observe,it is the deffeated contengent who started this,who cannot accept the reality
of true competation…
sports lang tayo lahat…
OKEY…..
