Aliwan Fiesta 2006: Lutong Macau?
Posted by on May 2, 2006
When this year’s Aliwan Fiesta streetdance winners were announced, several people doubted the credibility of the results. Some said that at least two judges came from Cebu. Others say that they just simply gave Cebu a chance, since Iloilo has been a perennial winner.
Here’s an e-mail I received:
I doubt the Aliwan Results. There are 2 Cebuano judges. It is possible that their scores have greatly affected the reults. Do you think these Cebuano judges will vote for the Iloilo Festivals? Definitely not. I’m sure they scored the Sinulog higher compared to Dinagyang, or other Iloilo festivals.
My comment:
I was there at the Aliwan but I do not know who the judges were. There are judges stationed at the Quirino Grandstand, and Rajah Sulayman Fountain, and CCP Complex. And assuming that there are indeed two judges who favored the Sinulog, and lets jsut say that there are 2 judges stationed in every judging area, do you think that these 2 Cebuano judges can influence the total scores? 2 out of 6 judges at that??? I dont think so… Think of Mathematics. And finally, do you think that these judges, would gamble their credibility just because of the Festival?

I have seen all the performances, except for the Pamulinawen Festival of Laoag. But between the Sinulog and Dinagyang, I guess it’s very clear who won the contest.
The festival’s over. The decision is final. Instead of fighting against each other, why not just unite and be proud of our culture as a Filipino nation? Forget crab mentality.
