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!

jeff » April 18th, 2007 at 5:26 pm

This year Aliwan Fiesta, Dinagyang will show the following performance :

Tribu Ilonganon will depict on how the “primitive ati” will dress up for the modernization. The tribe performers will show skills on how to put their skirt, headband and vest. The choreographer made a twist from its last year’s presentation.

Tribu Kahilwayan will stick on their Cry of Sta. Barbara portrayal with all the stunts they have shown in its previous presentations. The choreographer infused some dance in the depiction of the Cry of Sta. Barbara.

Hala Bira Iloilo!

kcirevam » April 29th, 2007 at 11:55 am

i would like to comment regarding sa ALIWAN 2007 bakit kaya ang kaunti nang contigents na sumali siguro this is because of ELECTION. bakit ang taga Bacolod wala pa rin sa competition at yung Camiguin na First runner up sa SINULOG ng CEBU.

HOPING SANA ANG GOVERNMENT NATIN ANG MAG-PRODUCE NG GANITONG EVENT KASI ANG LAKING BAGAY NITO BIRUIN MO NAGSASAMA LAHAT NG MAGAGALING AT TALENTED PINOY NA WALANG KATULAD SA MUNDO….

WELL CONGRATS SA LAHAT NG PARTICIPANTS SIGURO NO MATTER WHAT KUNG SINO ANG NANALO AT ALAM KO NA LAHAT SILA AY PANALO AT THEY SHOWCASE THE TALENT AND BEST OF PINOY…

who said na ginaya ng dinagyang yung sayaw nyo?!? duh! as far as im concerned eh, sila lang yung binago ang lahat ng choreography, if you watch their perofrmance sa dinagyang, mas iba yung performance nila sa aliwan, ewe! the nerve na sabihinh nanggayang ang dinagyang?!? yuck! your choreography sucks! paulit ulit na waves! ewe! wala na bang ibang bago jan?!?tsk tsk tsk! we’re not bitter! you started it, so, let’s get it on!!

ajaw gajud » April 30th, 2007 at 1:25 pm

“Marvin kim” the ilonggo conqueror! hehehe tapos na ang boksing pare or mare..Just want to tell you that all the winners are deserving but i just point out about the recycled choreography of the champions “Lumad of cebu” i think its unfair to say that, because for me its their trademark esp the kind of costume.. Just like your ilo ilo troupe bat may hagdan ba talaga sa likod pag dinagyang?? di ba trademark din yan? yong mga steppings nyo tell me honestly, unique ba talaga yan..bat nakikita ko yan sa ibang contingent sa dinagyang?Bat may pbc pipe sa instrumentalists? di ba only in dinagyang yan? yong pagpalit ng costume habang sumasayaw di ba ginawa na yan nang bayanihan dancers..yong apat na bakla na colorful ang costume, i saw that presentation a couple of times.So the important thing is execution and the showmanship.Just accept the result and go with our lives..okdoki? Now your betting on my hometown alikaraw kasi sila ung bago na sumali,heheheh if they will win next year and then almost the same choreograhy ur complaining na naman..tsk, tsk, tsk..ano ba talaga ang nasa mga bisaya na wala sa ilonggo?? wala pareho lang tayo pero lets face the results and accept it.

ngaks! kataw’anan man inyong mga comments dinhi. morag mga bata nga nag’away. anyway, as long as healthy ang conversations or the messages we’ve posted, nindot sad baya basahon. buhi gyud diay ang demokrasya. hahaha. unsaon ta man ng naa man gyuy mochampion. that is the art of taking the risk nga naay mapildi or modaug. pero ang tanang contingents deserve to have a prize. they all make us proud. when you are in a state of nonacceptance, it’s difficult to learn. a clenched fist cannot receive a gift, and a clenched psyche grasped tightly against the reality of what must not be accepted cannot easily receive a lesson. my heart-felt CONGRATULATIONS to a newbie contingent in this festival who bagged the 3rd prize…the ALIKARAW of HILONGOS, LEYTE
DASDAS Hilongosnon.

tasyo » May 7th, 2007 at 8:46 pm

sabi nila, hindi deserving manalo ang lumad sa aliwan 2007.

back-to-back champion na at……

wala pang nakakagawa niyan sa aliwan.

nya ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

marvin_kim » May 8th, 2007 at 2:02 pm

to manok00:

a very direct and nonconservative comment! tama ka nga. may nagsabi sa akin na baka hindi na sumali ang dinagyang next year dahil parang perya na ang aliwan. and you know naman na HINDI BASTA BASTA PERYA LANG ANG SINASALIHAN NG DINAGYANG. naging perya lang ang aliwan ng sumali ang sinulog. ewan ko… BASURERO TALAGA SILA NG CHOREOGRAPHY.. aaaawwww

masakit siguro yung word na yun. pero totoo naman di ba?!? sino ang field demo ang dating and sino ang elementary ang sayaw?!? tsk tsk tsk.. kahit bata tanungin mo eh alam na nya kung ano ang isasagot nya.

totoo talaga ang lutong macao.. i won’t believe that DOUGLAS NIERAS AND LISA MACUJA ELIZALDE will go for sinulog. alam naman natin kung gaano ka strict si douglas nieras when it comes to choreography. malamang nga siguro eh, nasa huling list nya yung sinulog. wag kayo mag react mga lumad dahil yun ang totoo. ewan ko na lang sa ibang judges…. imposible din naman siguro na maging #1 yung sinulog eh lahat naman dun puro taga CCP at mga taga CCP pa ang nagturo sa ibang choreographers ng dinagyang…

about the issue that lumad is showcasing sinulog?!? i dont think so.. di ba nasa FREE INTERPRETATION category sila ng sinulog?!? di ba, pag sinabing “FREE” eh kahit ano, pwede mong gawin… ngayon, bakit yung lang ang ginagawa ng lumad?!? wala na bang iba?!? sabi sa akin, kaya daw natalo ang pintados de passi last year dahil wala silang sinulog dance to the fact that FREE INTERPRETAION ang sinalihan nilang category.. ano yun?!? bakit ka pa gagawa ng category kung halos wala rin syang pinag kaiba sa isang category?!? kahit na hindi na disqualify yung lumad sa sinulog 2006 eh talo pa rin sila sa pintados de passi… consuelo lang yung dahil may wheels daw yung mga props nila. and isa pa, bakit walang wheels yung props?!? paano magiging mobile yung props?!? kaya hindi nagiging flexible ang sinulog dahil wala na silang alam sa pagsasayaw… pre requisite pa rin pala ng FREE INTERPRETATION CATEGORY ang “sinulog dance” na wala namang kwenta dahil papadyak padyak at kakaway ka lang . yun lang yun! and kung hindi man original ang DINAGYANG, eh ika nga nila, ITS A BEST COPYCAT! dahil mas kilala pa ito kesa sa ati-atihan!

and to tasyo, another deja vu nga.. another lutong macao! yun yon! BASURERO NG CHOREOGRAPHY! yuck! bobo naman ng choreographer nyo.. tapos, nag wish pa sya (or someone from cebu, sa press nya sinabi yun), sana mawala na daw ang DINAGYANG at magtulong tulong daw ang mga festivals para mawala ito sa top 10… good luck! para nya na ring sinabi na, KAMI ang TEAM TO BEAT at hindi kayo! THREAT PALA TALAGA ANG ILOILO.. kasi WE ARE THE NEXT BIG THING!

joy » May 8th, 2007 at 5:01 pm

Simula nang napanood ko ang Dinagyang ng Iloilo sa Aliwan 2004 I never failed na panoorin sila taun-taon sa Aliwan at sa Youtube. Gusto ko sanang mapanood ang Dinagyang sa Iloilo, sana magkaroon ako ng time next year na makapunta doon. My friend told me na mas marami pang magagaling na performers sa Dinagyang na hindi ko pa nakita.

Ang galing nyo!

lady » May 8th, 2007 at 8:33 pm

I admire the power moves and the creativity of the DINAGYANG during Aliwan Fiesta. I also like their mascot, ang cute.

sonicwavette » May 9th, 2007 at 9:43 pm

lahat kayo walang ORIGINALITY,dinagyang, sinulog!

parang nawala na ata ang mga respeto ninyo sa kapwa FILIPINO. kaya THIRD world pa rin tayo kasi pati festivals, pinag-aawayan ninyo.

manok00 » May 10th, 2007 at 3:30 pm

I have been to Pasalamat Festival 2007 in La Carlota City end of April. I got my complete recorded DVD’s on the events. Iba beat dun! Hopefully pag di na sumali ang Dinagyang next year, sana yung Pasalamat team will participate and they are the group to watch and i’ll put my bucks in beating Sinulog 5:1 if LUMAD BASAKANON is till there for Sinulog. But if others will be then 50-50 ako, basta wala na LUMAD BASAKANON!

Go to Pasalamat Festival, and FEEL THE BEAT!

beyond the Unknown » May 10th, 2007 at 11:18 pm

mark your word manok00 ha…I’ll bet on your 5:1 proposal if ever Lumad will reign supreme again as next years rep from cebu..I just want to inform you that Pasalamat festival is very much influenced by this latin beats..where’s the filipino culture in it??

mizzy » May 11th, 2007 at 6:11 pm

DINAGYANG FESTIVAL’S TRIBU ILONGANON OF ILOILO CITY IS THE ONLY CONTINGENT OF ALIWAN FIESTA TO BE INVITED BY THE CULTURAL CENTER OF THE PHILIPPINES ( as in CCP )TO PERFORM IN MANILA THIS COMING INDEPENDENCE DAY (sosyal di ba??? )SINULOG, WHERE ARE YOU??? ARE YOU NOT INVITED??? MEANING YOUR PERFORMANCE IS NOT REMARKABLE!!! WHAT A PITY!!! YOU CAN GET ALL THE TITLES, BUT WE ARE GOING TO GET ALL THE PRESTIGE AND ALL THE INVITATIONS. DON’T YOU KNOW THAT WE ARE HEADING FOR TEXAS ( as in USA ).

jay » May 15th, 2007 at 8:44 am

I also saw Tribu Ilonganon at SM Mall of Asia after Aliwan Fiesta. They are truly the crowd drawer and the best.

manok00 » May 15th, 2007 at 8:57 pm

beyond the Unknown, yes 5:1 for the winner against the so called champion LUMAD. As for the Pasalamat yes it’s influence by Latin beat. But what does the the crowd like to hear “its the beat” like the drums of Dinagyang and Ati-Atihan or the Latin beats of Pasalamat. If we lined-up tourists to chose 3 beats (Dinagyang or Ati-Atihan), Pasalamat and Sinulog. Sure! Tourists will choose to dance on Dinagyang/Ati-Atihan or Pasalamat. Para ka nalang nag parade sa Sinulog sa padyak-padyak at tunog ng mga trompeta eh! I choose the 3rd placer on the 2006 simulog than the recycled LUMAD.

Hoy! tasyo!

Ikaw ang ignorante! tawa kang tawa dyan, Wala naman katatawanan. Bagay kang hampasin ng mga drums ng dinagyang para tumahimik! Syempre dapat lang impagmalaki magaling kami, totoo naman so what! Anong ipagmalaki mo na wala kami, aber!

manok00 » May 18th, 2007 at 11:37 am

Yeah! Right
Sometimes we need to sacrifice some like culture just for the benefit of tourism, in other’s way it their only way to get profit. Our country is already very poor, and tourism is one of it supporting.

Culture will still be in our thoughts. See you again in Aliwan 2008

marvin_kim » May 21st, 2007 at 8:43 pm

i think i would agree with mizzy, talo na nga kami, DINAGYANG, so why bother bicker with us?!? kayo na nga panalo di ba?!? come to think of it, why would blabb around here as if you were so great and so whatever adjective you could add. the point is, FOR US ILONGGOS AND MAJORITY OF THE CROWD, DINAGYANG is the winner. get the picture?!? where not bragging about the prize, its the crowd’s satisfaction we are talking here.

and sorry to tasyo, but, we shouldn’t even spend time reading his comments, such nonsense, and bakit kailangan pang manglait?!? nanglalait ba kami?!? kung manlait man kami eh yun ay dahil inuunahan kami. remember, you are talking to ILONGGOS and ILONGGOS are known to be very lovable people, kaya ng CITY OF LOVE and sad to say, again, inagaw din ng cebu ang title na QUENN CITY OF THE SOUTH sa ILOILO. you better ask, the original QUEEN CITY OF THE SOUTH IS ILOILO, naagaw lang yun nang magkaroon ang mactan international airport sa cebu. that’s it. KUNG SA BAGAY, SANAY NA SA PANG AAGAW NG TITLE ANF CEBU, KULANG SA PANSIN KASI.

NINO in that sense?!? kilabutan ka naman sa mga pinagsasabi mo dito. oh well, sabi nga ng kanta ni alicia keys, and the world goes around, what goes up must go down. fitting for you di ba?!? okey lang yan, kahit ipamukha mo sa amin na natalo kami. eh bakit panay pa ang tira mo, eh kayo na nga panalo?!? insecure talaga. kasi, kung alam mong panalo ka na, wala ka nang ibang dapat pang sabihin. tsk tsk tsk tsk! ikaw tuloy ang nagmumukhang ignorante.

as an ilonggo, but more importantly, a filipino, comments and counter comments here have really gotten out of hand!
if i’m not mistaken about it, it’s what you call enthnocentrism: the tendency of an individual to look at other people’s culture thru the prism of one’s own. this breeds biased cultural profiling as what we can see in an individual, we tend to see in a general way to the culture he/she is affiliated with- which is not only unfair, but also very wrong. both sides, my fellow ilonggo brothers and my fellow cebuano countrymen have just shown themselves to guilty of it!

to my fellow ilonggos, be honorable and courageuos in your defeat! wether the lutong macau issue is true or not, we have to rise above that! ultimately, when all is said and done, aliwan is still an event showcasing the different festivals in the country. we maybe the yearly crowd favourite but in the eyes of the judges, we are not good enough to be champions. there’s no shame in being second best! it’s something to be very proud of! to my cebuano countrymen, be generous in your victory. and this generousity must also come with humility, if you really believe yourself to be one and not the very opposite you that you always accuse us ilonggos of.

it’s unfair to brand the sinulog choreography as basura/basurero because that’s a blatant insult to the judges and the cebuanos! i would say their performance was a splendid display of cultural jubillation!

it’s also unfair to call ilonggos ‘tikalon’ because that is a very sweeping generalization of an otherwise largely humble people. not all cebuanos are humble and not all illonggos are boastful, and vice-versa. in the passionate pride of both sides to prove they are the best, both did so at the expence of one thing: that beyond all the awards and recognition, it is still a cultural event that aims to strenghen each festival by becoming more aware and appreciative of each other’s rich experience. let’s stop unfairly calling each other grotesque names that seem to stretch the whole nine yards with no end in sight!

and if ilonggos really believe dinagyang really to be the barometer of other festivals, it should welcome that development because it could only mean one thing: the rise of many new mansions in a village is a sign of improvement in that village. if i were to live in a mansion, i would prefer to be also surrounded by mansions and not dilapidated structures! that’s being secure of your own place in the sun despite being surrounded by new and upcoming stars. and if sinulog really believes itself to be the best festival showcase of aliwan, then then it’s cebuano supporters should display it in a champion-like manner.

the way i see it, both sides have really brilliant people who are posting opinions in this online forum. but exercising wisdom and enlightenment are more important than impressing upon all the other people here how brilliant you are- be it a cebuano,ilonggo or whatever. that wisdom goes beyond one’s earning a grade of 1. something. that wisdom also goes beyond one’s achievement of being a former runner-up in mr. universe-asia. and to think that the origin of all of these is the aliwan festival!

i hope to see you all again in next year’s aliwan festival. congratulation(s) to the winners and peace to all!

marykris » May 29th, 2007 at 4:11 pm

although i havent most of the contingents perform… the winner maybe really deserve to win the said competition… im a member of the babaylan festival of Bago City, Negros Occ… we also did our very best and the experiences and moments spent there was really all worth to be cherished….

ayan na naman.. they would have to resort to their language to insult people… like as if most people understand them… anyway, nakaburyong ng utak ang summer… nakakabobo pala… huhuhuhuhuhuhu!! im getting dumb!

and the debate continues… with the motion: THBT (This House Believes That) the aliwan festival is a festival of SUBJECTIVITY and not OBJECTIVITY regardless of judges.

on the Government side:

on the Opposition side:

maganda yong concept ng dinagyang ngayon pag katapos nilang magbihis sa harap ng tao saka sila tumingin sa malalaking salamin kaya lang hanggang ngayon hindi parin nila ma identify yong pwet at mukha nila… wahahahahahahahaha

Guys!
Please refrain from using this blog something like a WAR, use other sites not this one.

Lastly give the Aliwan discussion a peaceful ending.
It’s over for now.

marvin_kim » June 8th, 2007 at 9:09 pm

like tasyo! siya lang pangit (hindi lang siguro IRL) dito pag nag post…. and then again, the fact about dinagyang is this, the tribes in dinagyang competition is being subsidized by the iloilo dinagyang foundation… each tribe recieves mostly more than P100K if im not wrong… (but the estimation ranges from P80K to P100K/tribe)… wala pa diyan yung sariling support galing sa tribe mismo… imagine, if pag isang school ang nag participate sa ati-ati competition, bibigyan na sila ng mga P80K as budget, but then, hihingi pa ang mga yan ng another support mula naman sa school mismo, so stop bickering as if mahirap ang dinagyang… bakit?!? meron ba yan sa sinulog?!? if im not mistaken, may nagsabi pa nga di ba, yung mga out of town contingents nyo sila sila pa mismo gumagastos sa mga presentations nila?!? well, ibahin mo ang dinagyang dahil kahit antique (yes, sumasali ang antique sa kasadyahan competition) eh binibigyan ng suporta ng iloilo dinagyang foundation although maliit lang ang binibigay sa mga participants ng kasadyahan mga p50K lang yata… and also, wala pa yung support naman galing sa province of antique mismo… SO STOP… JUST STOP STATING THINGS AS “FACTS” THAT YOU EVEN NOT PROOVE NOR SUPPORT!! and stop pretending to be a “know it all” if you’re just too dumb enough to say it!

tasyo » June 9th, 2007 at 3:03 pm

yeah yeah yeah.

bawat public elementary at high school sa cebu province na sumasali sa sinulog ay may 50,000

bawat out of town contingent ay may 100,000. (mali ang claim mo)

sapat na bang PROOVE ‘yan?

nya ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Dinagyang captivates Minnesota
By Dina G. Yang

With blistered feet, dancers of the ECD Dance Company continue to delight audiences in several performances in Minnesota, Saturday, June 23, 2007, on the last leg of the cultural promotion of Dinagyang which brought the Iloilo City contingent to a series of shows in the United States. “Fantastic and great dancers!” were some congratulatory words from the audience as they leave the theatre after the performances. In fact, the two curtain calls got standing ovation.

Dinagyang off to Europe in 2008

ILOILO CITY, July 5 (PNA) – After a successful cultural mission in the United States, the Iloilo Dinagyang Foundation and the Iloilo City government mulls of bringing a Dinagyang tribe to three countries in Europe in June next year.

This was disclosed by Mayor Jerry P. Treñas after a two-week study tour in Germany.

Mayor Treñas said he made some preliminary talks with the Philippine’s First Secretary and Consul to Germany Julius Caesar A. Flores for the needed preparations.

The trip to Europe would include Spain, Germany and Italy.

For the plan to push through, Treñas said this early, they have to start looking for sponsors generous enough to share their resources with the Dinagyang group.

Likewise, the mayor looks forward to finding sponsors from the other countries.

Dinagyang’s successful cultural mission to San Antonio and Minnesota supported by the Philippine Gaming Corporation (Pagcor), Department of Tourism (DOT) and various Filipino communities in the United States that gave them accommodation. (PNA)

tasyo has just put into this blog a taste of courtroom twist. powerful logic and credible evidence. an ideal pro bono.

mahalai » July 5th, 2007 at 10:43 pm

whatever. people do mistakes a lots of times. hmm.. personalan na rin pala talaga ang laban dito. how shocking. wala na bang mai-pi-prisentang arguments jan?!? parang below the belt na yung tira ng iba jan. tsk tsk tsk. do people have to resort to that strategy?!? tao lang din tayo. nagkakamali din. kung hindi eh, godlike ka na siguro. you deserve a place in heaven na! hahahaha!!

mm » July 10th, 2007 at 2:06 am

ganon naman talaga e, pag naiingit ka, wala ka nang magawa, putting down others is the last resort..

nya ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

in case tasyo didn’t know about dinagyang, hindi lang iisang representative ang pinapadala ng dinagyang outside the country.. dinagyang contingents has a lot of potentials. madami pa ang mga potential performers sa dinagyang na may k to perform outside the country. i don’t need to elaborate everything, bcause it proved naman sa mga lugar na pinuntahan na nila, na outstanding ang kanilang performance.

at para naman sa bagong lesson mo tasyo, ecd dance company is only the frontline of dinagyang, for the experience of americans in the “amazing of dinagyang presentation”. and they are also coming from iloilo.. at may invitation yan ha! hindi yan gawa2x nag sponsor pa nga sila..

and for your additional inggit, punta ka sa dinagyang next year para makita mo na ang sagot sa tanong mo, kung “why is it dinagyang is the only chosen ng UN”.

P.S.

kyle » July 11th, 2007 at 9:19 pm

In a related development, Jimena said their US trip is very fruitful and successful as they were able to promote Dinagyang to the fullest. The people only know about SINULOG and Ati-atihan but not DINAGYANG. The trip created awareness among other nationalities living in the US.

mahalai » July 25th, 2007 at 12:08 pm

ahay.. kawawa naman yung iba… ni hindi ma distinguish ang invitation sa promotion. hindi pa nga nila nasasagot yung tanong ko, kung kayo na invite para mag perform, hindi ba promotion yun in your part?!? ang tanga naman siguro pag sinabing hindi dahil one way or another, hindi ma-a-avoid na mag promote ka ng festival mo habang sumasayaw ka sa gitna ng stage o street. hellouer! sintido kumon lang!

at pag sinabing invited, invited ka dahil gusto makita ng mga tao ang performance mo! iba naman yung promotion, dahil kung promotion, kahit wala kang invitation, pwede ka mag promote kahit saan! get the picture?!? wala kasi kayong common sense

Conrats to all the Western Visayas Festivals specially Dinagyang, Masskara and Paraw Regatta for being the Best Tourism Event in the Country in the recent 8th National Convention of the Association of Tourism Operators in the Philippines (ATOP) held in Camarines Sur last Oct. 6, 2007.

In 2006, Dinagyang also bagged the top award in the tourism event.

Bacolod City is celebrating a month-long Masskara Festival which will culminate on Oct. 21, 2007.

The Iloilo Paraw Regatta, instituted in 1973, is a race among native outriggers in the strait between the island province of Guimaras and Iloilo City. Called “paraw” in the local dialect, these native outriggers faithfully copy in materials and design sailboats that carried to Panay in 1212 A.D. the first settlers from Borneo who were in search of a peaceful home.
