Meet the Aliwan Contignents:
Lumad Basakanon, Sinulog Festival
Cebu City
One of the contingents to watch for in the upcoming Aliwan Fiesta is the group Lumad Basakanon of the Sinulog Festival. The Basak, San Nicolas-based troupe has been the Sinulog Festival Free Interpretation Category overall champion for the year 2004, and 2005. And if not because of some technicalities, they could have also won this year’s Free Interpretation overall championship.
Lumad Basakanon, clad in their gold costumes, bagged the top prize for the 2006 Sinulog Festival Best in Costume and and Best in Musicality. They also won the 2nd prize for the Street Dance Competition.
This is the first time that the Cebu City’s Sinulog Festival is fielding a contingent for the Aliwan Fiesta.
