    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!

    Mananalo na naman ulit ang lumad basakanon!
    Ang ganda talaga ng knilang performance sa Sinulog!
    Hope you’ll win Lumad!
    Pit Senyor!

    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!

    jeff » April 24th, 2007 at 8:39 am

    lei,
    Nagsend-off party last Friday ang mga Dinagyang contingents sa Iloilo Freedom Grandstand for this year Aliwan Fiesta. You can watch the sneak preview of Dinagyang contingents (Kahilwayan and Ilonganon) performance for Aliwan sa “YouTube”.

    Just search in YouTube “Aliwan Dinagyang”. Makikita mo na ‘yong initial performance ng Tribu Ilonganon at Kahilwayan, hindi buong performance ‘yon para sa Aliwan sample palang.

    lei » April 24th, 2007 at 4:27 pm

    oh,i see..what i mean is that,kung kailan mapapanood sa youtube ang aliwan 2007,yung lahat na,pagkatapos ang competition..thanks anyway,kahit papano may napanood na ako…agyaman nak manen..

    maraming salamat sa muli n’yong pagbibigay this year.

    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…

    “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.

    Cebukobai » May 1st, 2007 at 6:11 pm

    Why is it so hard for some Dinagyang fans to accept who won the last 2 years in Aliwan? Why do they have to brag their winnings years before kesyo they won grand champion ek ek. For the record, the won top prize before Lumad Basakanon of Cebu came in last year and they’ve been telling us all along in the internet that they will be champion this year. Now where are they? Just be realistic, just review and compare Lumad and your representative and see it from there objectively.

    Congrats to Lumad ninyo tanan. Kinsa kaila Marc Jun Ricafort? apil pa ba sya ana inyo grupo?

    marvin_kim » May 1st, 2007 at 7:36 pm

    oh sorry… im not crying a river… i even pity you guys because of the secret i have known just a few hours ago… i wonder if that secret would be told, and publicized.. it would be a VERY VERY VERY HARD SLAP on the faces of the contingents of sinulog… i’ll just keep it to myself anyway… if i’ll say it here, parang lalabas pa akong uhaw sa panalo.

    oa ba yung send off?!? duh… mas oa nga kayo, eh ka simple simple ng sayaw eh, “mahirap daw pero sabay sabay!” oh come on! meron nga kayong elementary dancers eh, tsk tsk tsk! nakakabagot manood… walang ka taste taste ang sayaw… at now, masasabi ko na kung alin ang mas field demo ang dating… sino kaya yung takbo ng takbo na parang mga hinahabol ng asong ulol?!? para nyo na ring ginawang sinulog yung aliwan which definitely not! hindi ito field demo, cultural presentation po ito…

    ajaw gajud:
    the costume, i see no relevance to the performance of lumad… really, as i was listening to their performace concept, parang hinde naman yata ganun.. just refresh me with their concept… no, not all risers in dinagyang have stairs darling, it all depends on the set up of the riser (on the first year on ILONGANON in DINAGYANG, their risers didn’t have stairs, instead, they used gentle sloped risers) and when you say riser per se, there should definitely be stairs, how would you climb that if their isnt?!? common sense…

    the choreography of dinagyang is definitely unique, the choreography is followed according to the UNITED NATION’S MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS… you see, ADDING (NOT CHANGING!!!) costumes mean development… also it tells mainly on, from simplicity to complexity, from how the people in general evolved from being a simple person to a more civilized and more rational individual…

    now, alikaraw, if they would join next year with the same choreography, that would be very idiotic… para mo na ring sinabi na wala nang ibang alam ang choreographer nila, which is not true of course. as a choreographer, dapat marunong ka ring mag innovate (hindi modify, because they differ a lot!)… as you have seen, meron bang inulit ang ilonganon sa choreography nila last year?!? the answer is WALA kasi, marunong silang mag innnovate as compared to others na parang basurero ng choreography…

    and what tribe is the most requested tribe after aliwan?!? TRIBU ILONGANON LANG DAHIL NAGPERFORM ULIT SILA SA MALL OF ASIA!…. aaaaaaaawwwwwwww!! simply shows that, the award may be yours, but the audience satisfaction have never been yours… sa inyo inyo lang siguro, pero kung pang kalahatan, mas nanaisin pa ng mga tao na manood ng performance ng dinagyang kesa sa sinulog, kasi yung dinagyang, world class, yung sinulog, pang cebu lang yan!

    hay.. tama na nga… sakit na sa bangs to… exam ko pa naman next next week… makapag research nga muna! enough said… inyo inyo na yung comments nyo dito, but if you would drag my name again on your future posts, hindi ako magdadalawang isip na sagutin yun.. at parang na notice ko na pinagkakaisahan ako dito… hmmm…. i could stand by myself pala… hindi ko na notice yun ah… hrhrhrhrhrhrhrhr!!!

    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

    Hello! Dyan. I am from Luzon, but I go to festivals in the visayas everytime, since iba talaga ang dances doon. I admit walang magawa yung mga taga luzon, iba kasi dance festivals dito. Nakita ko nag enjoy nalang sila.

    Pero comparing Sinulog and Dinagyang, siguro 5x ang dinagyang power. Da best talaga ang drums dun kaysa sa Cebu trompeta lamg hehehe. Best bet ko sana Dinagyang, ngayon bakit halos lahat ng moves ay ginaya ang dinagyang. Eto lang masasabi ko.

    Yung lutong macao, babalik pa rin yan next year. Sana di na sumali dinagyang, sayang efforts! Mag promote nalang ng festival nyo don ok pa! Ipa solo nyo sa gumaya!

    At sa LUMAD BASAKANON, sana next year maisipang nyung “LUMA” na ang tugtugin nyo!

    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!

    manok00 » May 8th, 2007 at 3:17 pm

    Hahaha! yeah agree you know in an investigation, “a disaary comment is a sign of guilt”, medyo guilty lang sila kaya ganyan ang comments nila. I have been to those festivals in the visayas (cebu, kalibo, negros and iloilo) and I recorded most of them, converted them to my DVD collections binibenta ko sa mga european for the tourism marketing. Upon review and analysis medyo halos sa ati-ati na sila nag copy ng mga moves(you can see yung nag pa uso ng “riser” or “stage” sa performance was dinagyang). Kaya sa nag comment na “so called” nanalo sila, dapat may analysis muna. Pwede naman silang manalo ng original moves ng sinulog, like young taga Leyte kaso eh! lively talaga ang ati-ati, bwahahaha!. Correct ba ako since there are 2 celebs in Panay that’s ati-atihan and dinagyang. The only difference is Ati-Atihan has been there almost 500 years and its a festival and a tradition. If you want competitive lively ati-atihan go Dinagyang! Yung Pintados yata sa Kasadyahan ba nag co-compete? Basta I will still be there recording lahat ng festivals that’s part of my job. Yung Sinulog pwedeng i-compete sa Palayan Festival in Nueva Ecija. Totoo naman! halos pareho lang moves doon. I suggest na palakihin nalang ang festivals in Panay, malaki pang pera sa tourism makuha nila, at may Bagong International Airport na yata dun, although wala international flights, maganda naman kaysa Mactan. Para siyang NAIA Terminal II and design.

    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!

    Campostela » May 8th, 2007 at 6:04 pm

    aha! So this is good I see many Cebu Fans (johnro-lumad addict, ddcage, chin2, Richard, lei, ajaw gajud, cebuley, jag, Cebukobai, znichz, tasyo, samok kayo da, Lumad Fan, john) then only marvin_kim is the GI (Genuine Ilonggo)

    The way I see it, the Dinagyang team has consistent in performing all the Aliwan Festivals, and even the Pintados team(where are they now?). Medyo maangas lang taga Cebu kasi Back-to-Back champion daw sila, pinag ka isahan nyo ang talo, at ang dami nyo, why GUILTY? ba talaga kayo? di ba “deja vu pa! yung isa dyan!” Even the Luzon teams, always heads-up to Dinagyang but not Sinulog and always preparing for this, sila talaga ang team to beat, I am from Mindanao by the way, as manok00 said “analyze before talk” baka totoo talaga na may copya. This can also happen in sports if you copy opponents technic that always win, then do it. The judges decision is final but the key is the technic or move that has been taken(kopya!) to win.

    To close this tama rin sinabi ni manok00, Dinagyang should not participate in the Aliwan anymore give chance to others. Let them miss the true team to beat!

    Go to Iloilo and see more performance of Dinagyang!

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

    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!

    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 6:02 pm

    DINAGYANG FESTIVAL OF ILOILO CITY IS THE BEST FESTIVAL IN THE COUNTRY, THE ONLY FESTIVAL RECOGNIZED BY THE UNESCO. PERIOD!!! WE ARE THE TRUE WINNER!!! WHY ARE THE BASAKANONS SO INSECURE WITH US AS EVIDENCED BY THEIR BEHAVIOR DURING THE PATTARADAY FESTIVAL IN SANTIAGO CITY, ISABELA?

    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 ).

    mizzy » May 11th, 2007 at 6:41 pm

    DINAGYANG FESTIVAL OF ILOILO CITY IS ONLY FESTIVAL BEING APPLAUDED BY THE VIEWERS, FOLLOWED BY THE CROWD AND STANDING OVATIONED BY THE SPECTATORS. THIS IS THE ONLY FESTIVAL APPROACHED BY THE PEOPLE TO HAVE THEIR PICTURES TAKEN.

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

    Aldy » May 15th, 2007 at 8:51 am

    Did you know that Dinagyang Festival were presented in Kathmandu, Nepal last 21-23 March 2007?

    Dinagyang Festival involvement in promoting the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) was reported as the best practice in an international workshop attended by about sixty representatives from a dozen countries.

    No other Philippine festival can outdo the Dinagyang Festival.

    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.

    Alright Manok00, well see each other here again next aliwan..We have different points of view. I am for culture and originality and you are not.. Talking about the tourism aspect,like dancing into the beats etc..mmmmmm i think the magnitude of Sinulog festival has nothing to prove, you are already a witness of the biggest festival in the country.You know what i mean…See yah my friend..its time to move forward in this aliwan issue..

    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

    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.

    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!

    tasyo:

    Personally I pysche tayo as the most “Walang kwentang”, “Kulang sa pansin na udong!” blogger here, nya ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa(10x)
    that’s for YOU! not a worthy blogger like tasyo should not be here!

    Defeat is always part of life. Just like in dinagyang eventhough teams as old as 1960’s and still many defeats, they kept dinagyang ALIVE! Unlike in sinulog pa bago-bago pa.

    So much for people like ***ked tasyo!
    Finally, I rest my blog here!
    See you in Dinagyang 2008!

    not a worthy blogger si tasyo.

    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:

    Hindi premyo ang hinahabol ng mga sumasali sa Dinagyang. The City and Province of Iloilo and the Dinagyang Foundation subsidize some the expenses of the Tribes.

    Hirap talaga kapag may ingitan!

    Goodluck sa Dinagyang Group na pupunta ng US para sa 2007 Texas Folklife Festival at San Antonio, Texas.

    tasyo » June 6th, 2007 at 4:25 pm

    minsan lang ako bumisita pangit pa nakita ko

    tasyo » June 8th, 2007 at 1:09 pm

    kung pangit ang nasa isipan ng isang tao, talagang puro pangit lang ang makikita nito.

    nya ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

    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 2:58 pm

    pinabilib mo na naman ako sa PROOVE mo.

    nya ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

    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.

    tasyo » June 9th, 2007 at 3:05 pm

    masakit bang PROOVE na ……

    1st prize ninyo, costume prize lang namin????

    love still

    by: led

    (”all you need is love…love…love is all you need”, by john lennon of the beatles)

    what good is the heart?
    if we kill our love
    love together and apart,
    when lowly and above
    *
    love to you will drift,
    if you love when adrift
    swept by life’s windy course,
    let love steer your course
    *
    do love when you cry,
    ’till those tears run dry
    when they turn to joy,
    you’ll see love’s not coy
    *
    give your love away,
    if you want love to stay
    for love, when you give,
    love then you’ll receive.

    Independence Day celebration yesterday was short of spectacular because of a lackluster program and a visibly thinner crowd.
