Aliwan Fiesta 2006: Lutong Macau?
Posted 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?
Lumad Basakanon, of Cebu’s Sinulog 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.

all i can say is “let’s be humble in victory, ang gracious in defeat.”
*typo, “..and GRACIOUS in defeat”
dinagyang festival put up a good fight…next year will be tough..just make sure that next year judges are not from cebu.fair competition.
oo, dapat mga foreigners ang judges para walang magrereklamo na lutong macau daw. lagi namang ganyan basta talunan, “sour graping,”
let’s just wait and see next year’s Aliwan Fiesta…
sa mga nagrereklamo, kilalanin nyo muna ang katapat nyo. ang Dinagyang festival ay parang bumangga ng pader. alam naman natin na ang festival nila ay ndi ganun ka en grande katulad ng sinulog. makikita naman natin sa laki ng prizes ng dalawang festivals nato, di ba? ang Lumad ay naghanda talaga para manalo. in fairness sa Dinagyang fans, please watch Sinulog first before underestimating it. Ang Cebu contingent ay pinayagan lang for the first time kasi nadisappoint sila sa outcome ng Sinulog 2006. kaya naman bumawi sila sa Aliwan. Kung gustuhin, isali nalang kaya ang Dinagyang sa Sinulog 2007 kasi aabot din ng P1,000,000 ang prize. ginawa na yan ng Pintados de Passi last time. sa Dinagyang prizes naman, pwede din namang taasan ang prizes para makainvite kayo ng maraming out-of-town contingents, di ba?
katangahan yung nagsasabi ng talo ang dinagyang dahil mas maganda ang sinulog??? baka dinaan nyo sa kulam???
nako di hamak na mas maganda ang dinagyang kesa sa sinulog2x na yan…..
dapat next time mga ambassadors ang mga judges at mga banyaga lahat…
ITS SOOOOOOO UNFAIR…..
pwede namang zero as in itlog ang score ng dinagyang sa 2 judges na yun kaya natalo sila…..
cebuano loser!!!!
im a delagate of the aliwan festival 06.. pamulinawen festival of laoag city… i saw the performances of d different contingents, dinagyang, pasalamat, pamulinawen, babailan, sinulog, damili, panagbenga, kahilyawan, padang-padang and many more… i think sinulog festival of cebu deserved their victory… c;mon.. we are all winners of this, lets just respect the judges’ vote…. MABUHAY ALIWAN FISTA!!!!
cebuano loser!!!!
By: Victor Andrew-Ilonggo
Victor Andrew di ba iyong festival nyo nagpagawa nang parang wooden grand stand sa plaza na may capacity yata nang 3 T at saka pinaglilibutan nang mga tao pa mga dancers??..May sports complex ba kayo na kagaya sa sinulog na makapag host nang 25T to 30 T na katao??.Para talagang tari nang manok iyang festival nyo at ang mga prices ay hindi lalaki sa 100 T right?? May budget ba iyan para maitelevised naman sa buong bansa ang dinagyang?? Think Straight bro!!! Tanggapin nalang natin ang katutohanan…OK? Congrats again sa lahat nang nanalo sa aliwan! Please lets accept the outcome of the festival..
Viva La muy Leal Y noble de ciudad de iloilo!!!!
We respect the judges descision. But to the organizers, like we do in Dinagyang, we invite judges whose credibility are enough and satisfactory. we dont have to shout on this blogging for justice. Anyway we all enjoyed the fun during the Aliwan. Ganyan palagi ang pinoy. So instead of fightng over a bunch of monkey, lets instead support our tourisms and festival. Mabuhay ang aliwan, Long live Iloilo, Long live Philippines!!!!
Iloilo festivals have been reaping awards for three years. so what if Sinulog, a first-timer ended Iloilo’s winning streak? those who gave harsh comments against the grand champion are clearly sourgraping and have no sense of sportsmanship. stop that insinuation, crab mentality and move on. Sinulog festival is now the ultimate festival in the Philippines but has been the biggest and grandest ever since pa noh.
In fairness, mas maganda naman talaga yong sa cebu…. yes i admit maganda yong sa iloilo but the judges have to decide for the best and thats the sinulog
Im a member of CADENCE DBC LUMAD BASAKANON’S instrumentalists…
Pag katapos naming mag performed sa Quirino grandstand halos lahat ng mga tao sumasabay sa parada namin at sumasayaw at sabay sabi na Mabuhay Sinulog ang bagong kampyon ng Aliwan…. gets nyo mga Ilongo? Hindi pa kami nag peperformed sa CCP pero alam na nila na mananalo kami… Its a great feeling indeed…
TY po sa lahat ng mga nanonood at nasisiyahan sa palabas namin kahit first timer pa kami…
ALIWAN Festival was indeed a great success!! although we onlty ranked 6th place im sooooo hapi dat ive been a part of this annual celebration of beauty, parade, and street pageantry!! imagne we bagged 6th on the dance competition, 2nd runner up on the Reyna ng Aliwan, and Best float (1st place) , pinaiwan pa nga ng CCP ung float namin kc ipaparade nila… its onli laoag city that was able to get awards from the 3 category!!! kya if there wud have been a Grand Champion eh kami na sana un.. pero bragging aside,. its fun that i was able to join such jaw breaking and nerve wrecking event. I was able to make new friends from Cebu (SINULOG FESTIVAL dancers) and sum from marikina (they even beg me to give them my necklace which i used during the dance showdown) and iloilo..! lets preserve the tradition of our country’s culture, sumthing that we can be proud of!! BONGGA LAOAG!! MABUHAY ALIWAN!!!!!
julz, taga laoag ka? im mark from paranaque, im living witness…. i saw all the performances. from the first to the last contingent… i admire the power moves of the DINAGYANG FESTIVAL,,,, the colorful costumes of the PADANG PADANG festival… but what realy amazed me was the spirit and Eye-popping routine of the PAMULINAWEN FESTIVAL,, among all the performers from the different fiesta’s of the country, only them gave a never boring dance, imagine from start to end u can see them smiling!! and those thrilling basket tosses! WOW!.. im from UST, eh mas matataas pa ang throwings nila kesa sa cheer squad ng skul namin.. bravo!! makapunta nga diyan! i-tour moko ah, can i get ur cp number, hek hek.. kaya nung i was waiting for the result eh i was shocked na pang anim lng kau despite of ur powerful performance. but i salute u guys, u did well,, pero congrats din sa mga taga CEBU, sa sunulog kc infairness malinis tlga ung moves nila although di ganun ka powerful ang steps… sorry, dats my personal comment eh.. we all have different perceptions naman…ciao
when lumad basakanon did not win the sinulog this year because of the so called technicalities, hindi namin inaway ang taga ilo-ilo (pintados) o alin man sa mga winning contingents. bakit hindi matanggap ng mga hambog na dinagyang na tapos na ang aliwan 2006. huwag na kayong sumali kung ayaw nyong magpatalo. “BITTER LOCKED” next time.
sorry dinagyang…. second placer is the first loser……. he he he he he he he he he he he he he he he………

Iloilo humbly accepts defeat in Aliwan 2006
By Maricar M. Calubiran
Ilonggos indeed know how to accept defeat. They humbly acceded to their fate in the recently concluded 2006 Aliwan Festival with Dinagyang Festival ranked only second to Sinulog Festival of Cebu even if some quarters are pushing the members of the delegation to file a protest.
Link : http://thenewstoday.info/2006/05/08/iloilo.humbly.accepts.defeat.in.aliwan.2006.html
Hello…. to tell you, Iloilo’s dinagyang won 3 consecutive years already in aliwan, and sinulog was never been, ngaun lang…. Ever since ILOILO PROVINCE is Festival capital of the philippines, out of 42 towns we have 40 festival’s all in all, and wala pa ung sa mga lawn city…… Actually we did great, as in superb, excellent, grandeus and heart beating drums… GRAND CHAMPION KAMI>>>> ever since pah…….”gets nyo”….
MAjaY sang planeta ba yang Ilo2x nyo?
Are you dreaming?
kung totoong may cebuano judges sa aliwan, ibig sabihin magagaling talaga ang taga cebu. hindi kukuha ang mga organizers ng judges na hindi magaling.
hindi nanalo ang lumad basakanon sa sinulog 2006. pero ni minsan hindi namin sinabi na lutong macao ang sinulog. kung ano ang iniisip ng tao ay siya ring ginagawa niya.
baka sa mga festivals ninyo ay may lutong macao kaya kayo ang nanalo.
pasalamat nga kayo’t hindi tayo nagkasabay sumali sa aliwan. kung nagkataon, hindi nyo maranasang mag champion. nya ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh
VIVA PIT SENIOR TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!!! LAKING PASASALAMAT PO NAMIN SA MGA NANINIWALA NA ANG SINULOG FESTIVAL TALAGA ANG KAMPION KITANG KITA NAMAN TALAGA KAHIT SAANG ANGULO NATIN TINGNAN KAYA MGA ILONGGO WAG NA KAYO MAGALIT B FRIENDLY TULAD NG MGA TAGA CEBU ANO BA NAMAN KAYO MGA ILONGGO………SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hahaha!!! gnito nalang! magkikitakita lng naman tau sa june sa manila during d 108th independence day celeb… lets settle everything na!!! lets all be friends!!! its trtu dat filipinos are nor nationalistic, rather they are regionalistic, nag-aaway away pa tau!…. hmp!! kita kita!!!
Wag ñong klimutan ang “HALAD of Cotabato”..! Naging Champion rin s Aliwan ang “HALAD”..! Mganda ang rin ang syaw nla..! Kya sla ang manok nming tga-GMA-7..! Hnd lng cla nk-Pr4m ng maayos s Aliw..! Kumuha kyo ng Video Copy ng sayaw ño smin..! Mkikita ño kung sino tlaga ang msmganda..! Kya ngtataka kmi kung bkit ganun nlang ang naging resulta ng laban..! S isang Contst hnd tlaga maiiwasn ang dayaan..! at isa p s NdePndens Day ang “Halad of Cotabato” ang pniling mg-p-pr4m..! Dhil alam ng CCP Complex n “Halad” ang dpat mnalo..!
Blue hindi lang naman yong sayaw ang tinitingnan, concept of festivals, musicallity, formation, meaningful props, costumes at iba pa… Sa aliwan hindi lang contest ng sayawan contest po ito sa festival na dinadala…
BLUE???!! halad na kung halad… will they be joining the ndependence day celebration??? where’d u got that info by d way…..
“Hnd lng cla nk-Pr4m ng maayos s Aliw..! Kumuha kyo ng Video Copy ng sayaw ño smin..! Mkikita ño kung sino tlaga ang msmganda..! Kya ngtataka kmi kung bkit ganun nlang ang naging resulta ng laban..! :”
There are som contribuiting factors kung bakit di nakakasayaw ng maayos ang mga dancers, and we all know that we shud be ready for whatever circumstances those factors may bring,,
di sana pinalabas niyo sa network niyo… im sorry but i agree sa sinabi ni zaldy, the dance perse is not the basis of the judges descision…hindi na sana ito tinawag na aliwan fiesta kung hindi battle of the countries biggest festivals to.. lets say na the delivered a good dance, were they able to deliver it well, im talking about grace, poise, stamina and energy, im not degrading HALAD, but TAPOS na ang Aliwan 2006, wats left to do now is to accept whatever it is to accept….
“Dhil alam ng CCP Complex n “Halad†ang dpat mnalo..! ”
can u stand by what u just sed? hello, di na sana nag invyt ang CCP ng ibang festivals kng cila lng ang alam nilang mananalo,, imposible naman yan…. FYI hindi lng anh HALAD ang pagpeperform sa manila on june 12…. well if dats d case, ktakita nalang kami ng mga manok mo!!!! CIAO!!
sa mga nagsasabing may lutong macao sa aliwan, parang ina-underestimate ninyo ang mga judges lalo na si ramon obosan. bakit… SINO BA KAYOOOOOO?
ANG YABANG NYO NAMAN… hindi talaga kayo dapat manalo…
we are inviting the top 5 winners of aliwan sa june 12 po at CCP. they will be performing pero hindi na po contest ito.
good luck to all… sana wala nang awayan…
siguro, tingnan na lang natin king aling contingent ang mas maraming pics… iyon siguro ang panalo par kay ricky santos….
I just wanted to share this… I had an experienced how the iloggos accepted their defeat and all i can say is, it wasn’t nice… after the aliwan festival we were invited to go to Isabela to dance, knowing that they will also be there to perform. during the event in isabela they perform first and then we were next, the dancers of iloilo were at the entrance and stayed there to watch, that’s what i thought but when we were preparing for our performance we heard insults, and when we started our dance they literary blocked our way and we had a hard time making our entrance. i have nothing against the ilonggos. i had read so many articles about the aliwan festival and most of them sided the ilonggos. Did they really humbly accepted their deafeat?
sana maliwanagan ang mga dancers ng dinagyan na hindi away ang sagot sa problema nila. natalo rin kami before kami sumali sa aliwan, and like them nag expect din kami na manalo noon, madaming rin naging issues.
sa tingin ko mas maswerte ang dancers ng iloilo kasi well supported sila and mas edukado sila kay sa amin. most of our dancers and instrumentalist ay hindi naka tapos and unemployed, pahirapan pa ang pag punta namin sa manila. alam ko na pinag hirapan nila yung sayaw nila, akala ba ng dinagyan na hindi kami nahirapan? hindi lang nila alam kung anong hirap ang dinaanan namin during aliwan festival. na challenge kami we were pushed to our limits. it was a miracle na walang masamang nangyari sa amin habang sumasayaw.
na tapos na ang contest hindi ba pwede maging mag kaibigan na lang ang mga participant? in the first place, wala namang rason makipag away.
lastly, i just wanted to ask the dinagyan members, sumali ba kayo para ipakita sa madlang people na kayo ang pinaka magaling, o sumali kayo para e offer ang sayaw nyo kay Senior Sto. Niño?
Menggay, sabi mo marami kang mga articles na nababasa that sided sa Ilonggos, the saw that there was prejudice on the decision that Sinulog will win the contest by any means.
From : http://thenewstoday.info/2006/05/03/dinagyang.pintados.robbed.in.aliwan.festival.html
Most experts did not agree that Dinagyang and the defending champion Pintados de Pasi wound up only second runner-up or third overall to the new champion Sinulog Festival of Cebu City.
There were reports that the judges were allegedly “intimidated” by the presence of Department of Tourism (DOT) Secretary Ace Durano who is a former congressman from Cebu and who allegedly secretly “lobbied” for Sinulog Festival to bag this year’s overall championship from Pintados de Pasi or any other contingents for that matter.
As secretary of the DOT, Durano has the complete itinerary of festivals all over the world, including the world-famous Pasadena Parade in California and there were reports that the Philippines has been invited to perform in some international festivals this year.
Did Secretary Durano use his influence to dethrone Pintados de Pasi?
Many of those present during the competition of 28 festivals all over the country at the Quirino Grandstand swore the performance of Sinulog Festival was a repeat of their last year’s choreography unlike the Pintados de Pasi and Dinagyang Festival, two groups from Panay island that enjoyed enormous financial support from their respective local government units (LGUs) and private sponsors, not to mention the all-out backing of their foundations.
This is not the first time that Secretary Durano has been accused of malfeasance in the performance of his duties and obligations as DOT chief.
Last year, he caused a furor among city officials here when the DOT committed a sin of omission by not including the Dinagyang Festival in the calendar of activities in its posters and campaign here and abroad.
The huge lapse even prompted the provincial board in Negros Oriental to declare Durano as persona non grata, an earthshaking event which was nearly repeated in Iloilo City had it not been for the leniency of Mayor Jerry P. Treñas who did not want to add fuel to the conflagration.
I know that everything that I will write here will now be water under the bridge, but there are lessons that must be learned from the recent Aliwan Festival.
But it is now difficult to file a protest because doing so might jeopardize our relationship with the prime festival mover Manila Broadcasting Company which has been diligently promoting the festival these past years sans substantial financial assistance from the government.
And besides, we have nothing to prove anymore as the audience believed the Ilonggo festival groups are the more artistic and creative, not to mention their alacrity and enthusiasm which was manifested when they introduced additional styles and techniques in running away with the runner-up plums.
We just hope that in next year’s Aliwan Festival, Sec. Durano will be prudent enough to at least set aside his bias and watch out his body language so that people will not think that he is applying an arm-twisting tactic to favor a certain festival. Just a suggestion, no offense meant.
James diba yang news today, news paper yan ng Ilo2x… Hindi naman siguro ganun ka bobo yong judge upang magamit lang ni Sec. Ace may sariling isipan rin sila… Ganyan talaga dito sa atin noh may nanalo at may na daya walang matatalo so paano na to next year example lang ha if matatalo nanaman kayo so ibang protest nanaman…..
Talk to the experts…most of them did not agree that Dinagyang and the defending champion Pintados de Pasi wound up only second runner-up or third overall to the new champion Sinulog Festival of Cebu City.
I dont think so… Its not most expets but its most Illongos…
peace ^_^
VENUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VENUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
taka teka…. cno ung mga invited na sasayaw sa independence day??????? i heard sinulog, dinagyang, pintados, halad and kahilwayan, pero in the abscence od sinulog eh ininvyt ang pamulinawen…..

Hi mga pre ksali rin ako s aliwan 06 frm halad pigcawayan,s tingin ko dpt tnggpin n ntin ang ressult dhil wala nmn tayong mggwa dun pro s tingin ko ang halad ang dpt n nag champion!!jejejeje joke lng kc lht nmn tu ay mggling diva,hi lng s mga chiks jn!!!
wait for cebu to send a contingent na ang theme ay sinulog based! tingnan nating kung d kayo mawindang! let me just remind you KANDILA as in CANDLES lang ang props na ginagamit sa sinulog based and filipiniana pa ang costumes! humanda kayo sa choreography and sobrang linis na execution! besides the fact na its an all new concept sa aliwan, tingnan nyo lang kung pano patataubin ng mga kandila namin ang mala christmas tree nyong mga props! kandila lng yan ha! sa mga hindi pa nakakapanood ng sinulog, shut up! and ask muna to those who have joined the festival para malaman nyo sinasabi ko…
and infairness 2-3 years ago, sinulog festival was able to invite delegates and performers from japan, korea and other countries! now sabihin nyo nga anong festival ang mas malaki and international caliber?????!!!!! sa mga walang alam ulit, shut up!
Ano ba naman itong mga ilonggo, pati ba naman newspaper nila talagang pinag-initan ang result nang aliwan..hehehehe Big deal talaga na matalo sila.Kahit 2nd placer hindi matanggap pwede draw nalang katulad nang boksing??.GUSTO NYONG PALAGING MAGCHAMPION? Gawa nalang kayo nang sariling festival.Tapos na ang competition wala na tayong magawa diyan..I am suggesting to the organizers of cebu’s sinulog na iinvite nyo ang mga taga dinagyang next year para naman makita namin kung ano talaga ang pinagyayabang nila, all expense trip and also the next dinagyang i hope there will be a sinulog contingent na sasali para maliwanagan na ang lahat..Yan kung kaya mag finance??.Wala namang exposure masyado ang aliwan walang live coverage, kung sa bagay ang 1 M na price ay malaki naman pero ang sinulog ngayun aabot rin nang milyones ang winner d ba Tangub contingent?? I’m sick and tired of this fights…It’s all over!!!

Big deal sa kanila tong aliwan kasi dito lang sila makapag yabang paano kasi walang ibang pweding makukuhanan ng yabang or walang pride yang mga tao dyan…
Eh di huwag na lang kayo sumali sa Aliwan kung ganun ang sa tingin nyo! Kayo ata ang nagmamayabang eh! Tingnan mo nga kung sino ang dumadakdak dito? Puro mga Cebuano naman ah!
uu puro Cebuano…
dami kasing nag react about sa outcome eh… may dayaan daw or ano pa dyan… defence lang po kami… hehehehe
hello people!
lumad basakanon already had accepted invitation form dipolog before the aliwan took place. it would be on june 10 this year.
it would be very unkind for us to cancel the engagement.
ganyan na ba talaga katindi ang desire ninyo na mapanood ang lumad basakanon? please just wait when the right time comes…..
pero kung gusto nyong mag sponsor ng plane tickets from dipolog to manila, then who are we to refuse…..
ooooppppsssss…….
pati ba naman way of writing newsmen nila one sided din?
hindi ganoon magsulat ang mga mediamen ng cebu….. now i understand….ganoon talaga sila……
sinong sila?
ang mag react…… sila na ‘yon……. hi hi hi hi hi…… ang cute koooooo
since the 80’s, nakapag tour na ako sa mga places kung saan merong mga festivals. that includes of course ati-atihan, dinagyang, marajao-karajao, lanzones, maskara, pinta flores, and sinulog.
among those i mentioned, maskara and pinta flores are becoming more colorful while lanzones, marajao-karajao and sinulog are getting more exciting every year.
the others lose their identity. they tend to perform jazzy steps while wala namang jazz festival sa bansa, and ang beat nila hindi na iyong original or basic ng kanilang festival kundi patterned from techno or disco music na kulang na lang ay lyrics.
i don’t intend to offend anybody but this is just an honest comment.
we’re talking about philippine festivals, people! LET’S BE REAL!
hallllllleeeeeerrrr!
of all people, huwag na huwag ninyong ili-link si ace durano sa lumad basakanon noh.
politically speaking, hate namin siya dahil isa siya sa mga nag sign against former chief justice davide when durano was still a congressman.
hate na hate din niya kami dahil solid kami na condemn sa kanya.
remember???????
ang ganda ng second edition of baliwan festival sa bhyo kagabi.
congrats eugene!
hinakot mo lahat ng awards.
hallllllllllllllllllllllloooooooooooooooooo!
bakit wala na sila?
siguro tinamaan na.
hi hi hi hi hi hi.
Sana maraming magagandang dilag na sasali sa susunod na Sinulog upang ma inspired ako… hahahahahaha
Well the judges have spoken and the Ilonggos humbly accepted their fate. Let’s leave it that way.
To the organizers of Aliwan Fiesta, please don’t invite judges from places who have festivals joining the Aliwan fiesta. Regionalistic counts.
To the people (choreographers, cultural workers, etc) who are invited to judge in the Aliwan Fiesta, please decline the offer, if you have a festival joining in the competition OUT OF DELICADEZA. SO THAT THE PEOPLE WATCHING THE COMPETITITON COULD SAY THAT THIS GROUP WON FAIRLY AND SQUARELY.
I hope this will not happen in next years Aliwan Fiesta. Lets move on.

i disagree with you, cute na mario gomez.
hindi humble ang taga dinagyang.
nang matapos silang magperform sa isabela, hindi nila inalis ang kanilang mga instruments (drums) kasi alam nila na ang lumad basakanon na ang susunod sa kanila, at saka inipit ng mga dancers nila ang entrance ng dancers ng lumad.
hindi sila sports.
sila ang unang nagsisigaw na parang mga walang pinag-aralan (meron ba talaga?)
pati ba naman ‘yong batang star dancer ng lumad ay pinatulan!
ngayon nasaan na ‘yong pagka humble nila?????
hindi ako sinungaling……. cute lang talaga ako…. hi hi hi hi hi .
all about this lutong macau stuff is a work of fiction by cry babies…..
and……. that’s for real!!!!!
sana hindi na lang sila nagdancers…….
magaling kasi silang gumawa ng cute na kwento…..
kailan kaya ako makagawa ng kwento kung saan …. hindi ako cute?
ay! huwag na lang…. hi hi hi hi hi.
venus,
please don’t generalize the dinagyang. dinagyang is already an institution here in iloilo, like the sinulog in cebu. there are alot of groups who are devouted joining the said festival in honor of sr. sto. nino. that was only one tribe you encountered.
my apology if that happens to your group. let’s stop bashing each other. remember that dinagyang, sinulog and ati-atihan were all celebrated in honor of sr. sto. nino.
let us not add fuel to the fire.
peace!!!

uu nga 1 group lang but it represents your festival naman, kaya nga kami taga Cebu naging maingat kami sa aming mga galaw saan mang province kami pumupunta, dala kasi namin name ng Sinulog hindi lang yong Tribe namin… kaya nga naging friendly kami sa lahat ng contingents, dito lang kami sa furom nag wawala, eh paano enonahan kasi kami hindi naman mag papa api ang mga CEBUANO…
Ayusin nyo naman mga grammar at spelling nyo!
hi cute na R2!
my apologies for being so general about the dinagyang.
ngayon nagtataka na ako kung bakit ganoon makaasta ang tribe na ‘yon (which represents the festival) samantalang hindi naman mayabang ang mga taga passi at sta barbara na na-meet ko.
parang sila lang ang hindi cute sa iloilo……. hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi.
Hi Venus!
Nice to see your reply. Last saturday I went at Quirino Grandstand and I talked to a teacher in-charge ng Tribu Ilonganon regarding sa sinabi mong nangyari sa Isabela. Ang sabi nya sa akin, nagkaroon daw ng kaguluhan, hindi nila intention na i-intervene ‘yong performance nyo kaso hindi daw sila makalabas dahil sa sobrang dami ng tao, kaya nagkaroon talaga ng stampede doon after ng performance nyo. Hindi talaga na ayos ang crowd control. Kahit sila nga nagsabi na naipit din sila and they don’t want also to bash Sinulog since they were also visitors in Isabela.
Peace!!!
in fairness talaga, the festivals of the BIG THREE (CEBU, ILOILO and AKLAN) is for honoring SR. STO. NINO.. so prara matapos na po ang lahat.. sa ating mga kapatid na CEBUANO at ILONGGO.. let us all be reminded that WE ARE PERFORMING FOR THE GLORY OF SR. STO. NINO.. NOT FOR POPULARITY OR FOR THE PRIZE.. THAT IS WHY LAHAT NG FESTIVALS THAT GLORIFY SR. STO. NINO MADE IT TO THE TOP! O DI BAH! FAIR PO TAYO LAHAT SA MATA NG DIYOS. WAG PO NATN KALIMUTAN YAN.. O SEE, BECUASE OF OUR LOVE FOR GOD, GOD MADE A WAY.. NANALO TAYONG LAHAT.. THIS IS OUR VICTORY.. HALE TO THE CHOREOGRAPHERS OF CEBU AND ILOILO… VIVA SR. STO. NINO!!

Lumad Basakanon joined the Hudyaka Zanorte 2006 in Dipolog City last June 10, 2006. They represent the Town of Siocon, Zamboanga del Norte to join the contest. You are the official dance group of Cebu City, di ba? Pwede na pala kayong for hire.

Opinyon nyo lang ‘yan! Kayu-kayo lang ang pumupuri sa sarili at grupo nyo. I want to hear comments from the observers not from your group para hindi naman bias.

Dinagyang festival mesmerized me during the Aliwan fiesta. In terms of performance and choreography, they’re excellent, perfect. They deserve to be the CHAMPION.
More power and good luck.

Salamat sa mga comments nyo!
mabuhay tayong lahat…
Kurt, Ill be in SF Pampanga baka next week!!!
hahaha. to cebuanos, we didn’t even know cebu brought home the bacon from that Aliwan or whatever festival that is. you know, Cebuanos, or Pinoys for that matter, have that “festival complex” (perhaps that would be an addition to a long list of psychological disorders listed by the American Psychiatrist Association). we have bangus, dalupapa (a giant squid), lanzones, lechon festivals, and with 7,107 islands, i can’t wait to see a bayabas festival very soon. in cebu alone, we have like 40 festivals the whole year round, from tostado to cassava. and the sinulog is the grandest of all!
but that’s not the point. i’d like to comment on dinagyang’s sourgraping. because i think that’s a very tribal attitude, tribal as in promdi or barriotic or parochial. even the spreading of rumors that two of the judges came from cebu speaks of someone “na waay urbanidad.”
i have high respect for ilongos (my mom and my wife are) but this is the first time i saw in your blogs ilongos not accepting defeat. perhaps you are living on your reputation as “ginapiko, ginapala”?
last january, i had the chance to interview romel flogen, passi’s choreographer when it joined the sinulog in cebu. if memory serves me right, he used to be a mormon before he converted to Catholicism because of a personal miracle he has experienced — every rehearsal, his group would discover missing Sto. Nino icons. Today, he has 120 images of him. miracle. that is the essence of the Sinulog.
lumad basakanon’s victory is really no big deal for cebuanos. for us the biggest winner is the almost 400 year old original icon of the Sto Nino, the symbol of the first Christianization in Asia which is in our keeping.
if the victorious do not make a fuss about it, there’s no reason for losers to cry over spilled milk. because you end up losers twice over…..
So where does that leave us? It means better luck next time. You have one year to polish your dance routines, innovate, and perhaps pray more!
one more comment: whatever newspaper or publication which published that “lutong macau” rumor must have exercised responsible journalism……
Mabuhi ang Sugbuanon! Go, go go, Sugbu!
tagacebu,
Just for your info, romel flogen is also the choreographer of Tribu Ilonganon.
Iloilo Dinagyang Committee has modestly accepted the results the 2006 Aliwan Festival.
Please read this artcle :

I don’t know why other people here are keep on bashing with each other. Pagtatawanan lang tayo ng ibang tao, sa festivals palang di natayo nagkakasundo. Parang pinapakita nyo ang ugali at isip talangka (crab mentality) nyo. Sana tulung-tulong naman tayo sa pagpromote ng magandang kultura natin.
Kung magbigay sana tayo ng opinyon let’s be constructive naman para at least malalaman natin kung paano maiprove pa ‘yong festival natin. Hindi naman parang mal-edukado ang dating nyo sa pagbibigay ng comments.
Hope na matapos na itong pagbabangayan nyo. Pangit tingnan kapag ganyan kayo!
hi mark,
you said and captured it perfectly.
i rest my case………..
sana kunin na lang ang cheography sa criteria para mas deserving ang lumad.
Mike,
Hindi mo alam ang meaning ng choreography eh! Pati spelling hindi mo alam!
Choreography is the art of arranging dance movements for performance.
Mag-aral ka nga muna!
I know that Sinulog is the grandest festival all over the country.
But Dinagyang is a festival with excellent folk choreography, this was tagged by The National Commision for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).
Bwahahaha! NCCA? What authority do they have? They give “Festival management” classes all over the country. Sila mismo walang experience mag handle ng festival.
hello sa mga cute dyan!
hindi pa pala tapos topic na ito….
ANG BOTING NAMAN.
tama na ngang mga pag sourgraping natin….. ok lang yan kung bago pa lang nangyari…. eh, april 29 ‘yon noh…..
feeling ko tuloy hindi talaga kayo cute…. hi hi hi hi hi hi.
ayyy! sori sa spelling…. i- type ko lang uli…. baka pagsabihan pa ako ni Jun na bobo sa spelling…. (baka sa spelling lang siya magaling) hi hi hi…..
hindi pa pala tapos topic na ito….
ANG BORING NAMAN.
tama na ngang mga pag sourgraping natin….. ok lang yan kung bago pa lang nangyari…. eh, april 29 ‘yon noh…..
feeling ko tuloy hindi talaga kayo cute…. hi hi hi hi hi hi.
to fed na cute…..
hindi talaga maiwasang mag comment sa passi dahil talagang ang layo ng agwat ng atitudes ng grupo ninyo at sa representative ng dinagyang.
SILA lang talaga ang na meet kong contingent na SUPER HAMBOG.
samantalang kayo, wala man lang kaming narinig after you won sinulog.
saludo talaga ako sa pagka cute ninyo.
tagaCebu,
If you don’t know what is the mandates of NCCA. Here are they :
- Formulate policies for the development of culture and the arts
- To coordinate & implement the overall policies and program of attached agencies on the development of culture and arts as stated under Executive Order No. 80
- Administer the National Endowment Fund for Culture and the Arts
- Encourage artistic creation within a climate of artistic freedom
- Develop and promote the Filipino national culture and arts; and
- Preserve Filipino cultural heritage
You didn’t also know that your festival is also a part of your culture and consider it to be an art, that is why you neglect the importance of NCCA.
You will now understand what you are saying. I am not criticizing your festival nagbibigay lang ako ng paliwanag. Sinabi ko pa nga that your festival is the grandest. Ano ba ang masama sa sinabi ko? Nagbibigay lang ako ng paliwanag sa isang tao ah!
Kaya pala you keep on bashing here, hindi kayo magkakaintindihan!
venus,
wala naman akong sinasabing bobo ah!
ikaw ha? akala ko ayaw mo na nga away dito sinisimulan mo naman ng negative comment sa isang grupo.
sa kanilang ipinakita, dinagyang people are so bastos. i’m sure next aliwan festival dapat banned na sila coz they are so bastos and hindi sila sport. nanalo sila before coz wala pa ang sinulog na sumali ngayon! watch out dahil hindi na kayo pwede sa sinulog! thank god that hindi kayo nanalo dahil bastos kayo! alam ng dios kung sino ang dapat manalo…..sinulog!!!!!!!! hurray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dinagyang booooooooooooo…………………. hahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
ang pinakara maraming dayuhan na dumating sa buong pilipinas ay SINULOG……………….. ang dinagyang hindi masyadong known sa tao. at least ang sinulog maski bata kilala ang sinulog…….
julz,
Alam mo ba ang mga sinasabi mo?
Dinagyang is an institution just like Sinulog, please don’t be so rude naman sa mga pananalita mo. You were also using the name of God in your unkind comments. ‘yan ba ang natutunan mo as a Christian?
Please analyse what you are saying.
taga-cebu, julz, venus - dapat kayo ang i-banned dito dahil ang sasama ng ugali nyo. Please post decent and intelligent comments. Yung pinag-iisipan at ina-analyze ng mabuti! It only shows kung anong klaseng tao kayo dahil sa mga pinagsusulat nyo dito. Sino ngayon ang bastos?
Paging moderator to ban these people.
Sa organizer ng aliwan,mabuti pa na itigil na ang aliwan festival para wala ng away. sa taga cebu ingat ka sa sinabi mo tungkol sa NCCA baka ma-libel ka. NCCA was mandated thru Republic act and recgnized by UNESCO to handle festivals, culturals and arts activities local and international. wala kang respeto,bastos ka a,. Sinulog, Dinagyang and other fetivals kasama sa mandate ng NCCA.
to Kathy na intelligent daw:
please change i-banned to i-ban. iyan kasi ang tamang grammar…
at saka hindi kailangang mag page ng moderator. blog po ito. nag comment lang tayo.
ikaw yata ang hindi intelligent eh.
Kati:
matalino ka talaga! Isa kang henyo (sabi mo). o kinakati ka lang???
Haaay!! There are so many weird people in the internet.
Tama ka nga Kathy daming weird isa ka na doon…
sa totoo lang pinakabastos sa lahat yong dinagyang…
naka t-bak lahat kaya tumotulo yong laway ng mga bakla…
Zaldy,
You’re exaggerating the issue.
“tieback” or “t-back” not “t-bak”
Itama mo rin ‘yong spelling mo sa “tumotulo”, the correct spelling is “tumutulo”.
Hello peeps,
I have been reading all of your comments since day 1. and i just noticed that, we’re getting off topic already. nagiging personalan na ang mga komento nyo dito.
Since i believe in what we call, the FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION, I WILL NOT BE CLOSING the comments section of this post.
But i just want to remind everyone to observe proper netiquette/decorum.
Pangit po tingnan na tayong mga Pilipino ay nag aa-way. Please note that majority of Byahilo readers are foreigners. At ayaw naman po natin na makita tayo ng mga dayuhan na nag aaway di ba?
kaya, please lang.. behave po tayo.
you are still free to post your comments.
Mabuhay tayong lahat!
ty po sa spelling…
Sorry po sa mga comments ko…
hi again sa mga cute na people dyan!
kagagaling lang po namin sa tagbilaran for the sandugo festival performance noong sunday, july 23rd. nandoon din ang ibat-ibang tribes like sinanduloy of tangub and dinagyang of iloilo. ang ipinagtataka ko po ay napakabait at napaka friendly ng mga taga dinagyang, which was extremely opposite to what i perceived them to be. hindi pala sila iyong tribu ilongot na ipinadala sa aliwan.
ngayon po ay malinaw na sa akin ang lahat.
ang tribu ilongot lang pala ang mga hindi cute sa mga tribu ng dinagyang.
sorry for my being so general about iloilo and the dinagyang in the past.
venus,
kumusta ang sandugo..anong nangyari…
rey cute!
very peaceful ang sandugo!
Nakupow! Kala ko madugo na ang sa forum namin. Grabe regionalism dito. At least the issue has been dead for many Ilonggos and Cebuanos.
ahehehe ganyan talaga, dapat lang na matapos na ang bangayan di ba mga frends?
matagal ko nang kinalimutan ang mga nangyari sa Aliwan Fiesta. From time to time ine- enjoy ko na lang mga pics nakuha ko.. i dont mind kung sino manalo basta importante enjoy tayong lahat.. di ba???
>>>mga taga masskara festival kita tayo sa october!!!
Venus,
FYI.
Do you know who are the Ilongots?
Ilongot - Traditionally located at the junction of the Sierra Madre and the Caraballo mountains in the headwaters of the Cagayan, Tabayon, and Conwap rivers in Luzon are three groups of people: (1) Italon, found in the headwaters of the Cagayan River, (2) Engongot (Ipagi), found northwest of the coast of Baler, and (3) Abaka (Ibilao), living in southwestern Nueva Vizcaya. All three are known collectively as the Ilongot.
KAHILWAYAN FESTIVAL…THE BEST!!!!!!!
NCAA so on and so forth…
u keep on saying that NCAA has tagged Dinagyang as the festival of excellent folk choreography…well ok lang naman yan kasi any CHOREOGRAPHY can jst be FABRICATED and COINED…but i also like to say that the NCAA is jst there to regulate of what is native or modern, original or fabricated…and the NCAA does not include the festivals themselves kasi the festivals are regulated by the LGUs who made them… and also DINAGYANG is a copy of the original ATI ATIHAN FESTIVAL OF AKLAN…jst a reminder of the truth ILONGGOS!!!
inaabangan ko kasi ang performance ng TRIBU LUMAD BASAKANON sa Aliwan and they really did great. And sad to say this but most of the people in Manila do not knw other festivals other than ATI ATIHAN kaya they always savor with the DINAGYANG which is just a copy of the original ATI ATIHAN FESTIVAL OF AKLAN…
kaya ng dumating ang mga taga CEBU, they were shocked that there is another Festival and style na mas maganda pa than DINAGYANG…and also they do not know that there are still from MINDANAO na magagaling specially from the REGION 10 and the CARAGA REGION…kaya lang the budget constraints do not allow them to join the ALIWAN…we always join the SINULOG FESTIVAL to pay tribute to the STO. NINO DE CEBU…who gave MINDANAOANS miracle since we joined the SINULOG…
VIVA PIT SENYOR!!! SEE U AGAIN NEXT SINULOG!!!
ILIGAN CITY, CAMIGUIN, TANGUB, OZAMIZ CITY, SURIGAO CITY, PLACER OF SURIGAO WILL BE THERE!!!
tonz of iligan city,
anong kinalaman ng NCAA sa festivals? alam mo ba kung ano ang NCAA?
NCAA - National Collegiate Athletic Association
lol….nagpapatawa ka ba? paano maniniwala ang mga tao sa ‘yo kung di mo alam ang mga sinasabi mo? Sabihin mo na lang kung anong maganda sa festival nyo kaysa mag-comments ka na hindi mo naman alam ang mga sinasabi mo.
Insecure ka lang siguro. Isip talangka (crab mentality), hindi tayo aasenso sa tulad mo. Nagpapakilala ka pa kung tagasaan ka…pinapahiya mo ang lugar nyo.
ok…we know that NCAA exists…however i guess if i’m not mistaken, when people celebrate a festival, they don’t think about the NCAA thing…well if you(Chris) really have high regards with that commission, i respect that however i don’t agree with you upon saying ” Nagpapakilala ka pa kung tagasaan ka…pinapahiya mo ang lugar nyo.”.. just a reminder: expressing an opinion doesn’t degrade the place where that person comes. we may not agree to that person but that is not enough why you would not respect his opinion…
regarding sinulog 2006, hehehe…it is a tough competition…it is always a slap on our face, coz people from other provinces always win…but come to think of it, the contingents from local baranggays with less support battling against contingents who are the best in the city/province with all the support given, obviously you know who would be the winner…some people say it should not an excuse for not winning. yes it is not an excuse for it is more than winning in the festival, it is way of paying homage, a dance for our Sr. Sto. Nino…
Lutong Macao ang topic? hehehe..ewan ko ba, basta sa pagkapanalo ng Sinulog festival, congrats…kung natalo man sila, i’m pretty sure they would accept their defeat and learn from mistakes (just like what happened to Lumad Basakanon sa sinulog 2006). that should be the cebuano spirit: learn from mistakes, don’t blame others, accept defeat, learn where you stand and fight again…kung may lutong macau man na nangyari at mangyayari, yung sa taas na lang ang bahala sa kanila…okies?..
ang dali ng panahon no?? december is fast approaching, so by January, Sinulog na naman..maglalaban na naman ang mga magagaling..hehehe…just some comments on sinulog 2006…
yung contingent from Samar at Passi have very, very great choreography at dance steps….yung sa bohol na man very clean ang performance…for iligan, wow ang ganda ng part yung may wave from the left side upon facing the stage..my friend and i both agree that iligan should have won the best in musicality(that is my opinion). napakaganda ng musicality…pintados de passi, first time kung nakita ang ganoong performance and as expected, ganda ng choreography…camiguin, clean execution, very good in maximizing the stage, ganda ng steps kasi ang bilis… kung ok lang sa moderator, you can check the videos in youtube.com. just search for sinulog 2006 presentation 1 or check this link:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=H4e0DMsKAqQ
to rey,
walang kinalaman ang NCAA sa mga festival. di alam ni tonz kung anong pinagsasabi. ang ibig nya sigurong sabihin NCCA - National Commission for Culture in the Arts. Yes, I have high regards with this commission.
I’m not generalizing ang mga tao sa isang lugar. My apology kung iba ang naging meaning sa inyo. I dont want to bridge gap between places and people.
Gusto ko lang malaman at maintindihan ni Aris kung ano ang mga mandates ng NCCA. Hindi nya lang siguro alam kung ano ang pinagsasabi nya. Hindi ako inaatake kahit anong festival dito, just want na magpost lang tayo na walang hindi maganda na sinasabi sa isang lugar or festival to avoid bashing. I-kwento nyo lang ang festival nyo kung ano kaganda.
With regards naman sa Lutong Macua, let us prove na lang siguro sa susunod na mga contest.
yep..i hope the contingent from surigao will join next year’s sinulog..same for the rest of mindanao festivals. i hope they can join the aliwan festival..
Hello Rey,
This is just an invitaion to all of you, on October 20-22, 2006 will be the Masskara Festival of Bacolod City and on October 23 to 29 will be the Western Visayas Tourism Assembly in Iloilo City. It’s a two weeks or we can say a month long of celebration and fiesta in WV.
On October 27, 2006 there will be a Parade of Festivals at the downtown of Iloilo.
From Iloilo City are the famous Dinagyang Festival and Paraw Regatta; Pintados de Pasi of Passi City; Carabao-Carroza Festival of Pavia; Pandayan Festival of Badiangan; Tinu-om Festival of Cabatuan; Binanog Festival of Lambunao; Pakuyang sa Tangyan of Igbaras, Tultugan Festival of Maasin; Kahilwayan Festival of Sta. Barbara and Cry of Jelicuon Festival of New Lucena.
Also joining are the Sto. Niño Ati-Atihan Festival of Kalibo, Bariw Festival of Nabas and Ati-Atihan Festival of Ibajay, all in the province of Aklan. The province of Antique will be represented by the Binirayan Festival, the Pahinis Festival of Lauan and the Tugbong Festival of Pandan.
Negros Occidental will have the famous Masskara Festival of Bacolod City and the Babaylan Festival of Bago City. Sinadya sa Halaran will represent the province of Capiz while Manggahan Festival will do the same for the province of Guimaras.
yep..gusto ko sanang pumunta sa masskara. kaso nga lang, wla akong work ngayon at mahirap ang budget eh..ang allowance ko ay sa first week ng nov pa. gusto ko sanang pumunta dyan..pero ganyan talaga.. my aunt(close family friend) even invited me to go to Passi City for their fiesta..been there sa pintados de passi festival last march..at sabi ko, busy sa paghahanap ng work.. so ininvite ko na lang sya sa sinulog 2007..
Dinagyang Festival of Iloilo City strengthened its reputation as the country’s premiere festival after it was voted the best tourism event by the Association of Tourism Officers of the Philippines (ATOP).
Dinagyang beat other festivals vying for the prestigious awards, a retribution of sorts.
bumawi ang Dinagyang!
may magrereklamo pa kaya?
btw, ATOP gave the award last Oct. 6, 2006, Friday during the culmination of its annual convention in Koronadal City.
bumawi your face…
Zaldy,
Hehehe! Di mo ba matangap?
Do I need to explain kung ano ang ATOP para sa mababaw mong isip?
I’ve read all the comments. Now it is very clear to me why the Philippines will always be a damned country.
are you sure? you may say that philippines will always be a damn country, but at least people find ways to enjoy and celebrate life…….long live our festivals…
to punk hater:
pangalan mo lang ang punk hater, pero yuo also think like one of us…
hilo ka lang siguro.
I THINK NOWADAYS, SINULOG FESTIVAL IS THE BIGGEST FESTIVAL IN THE PHILIPPINES AND U WILL SEE THAT IN THEIR PREPARATION AND ALSO HOW THEY CULMINATE THE EVENT…IT IS EVEN SEEN WORLDWIDE…RIGHT NOW, IT IS THE FESTIVAL THAT REMINDS THE TRUE FILIPINO HOSPITALITY IN the FILIPINO FIESTA…i hope no one ever again compares each festival to the other coz WHAT THE SINULOG IS DOING REPRESENTS THE BAYANIHAN VALUES of the FILIPINO…LETS BE PROUD OF OUR COUNTRY and LET’S BE PROUD OF THE SINULOG…im not even from CEBU but i know how SINULOG helps in putting the country in the TOURISM MAP of ASIA.
ATOP??? its jst an organization and does not represent the whole industry…i think the ppl of the country knows SINULOG more than any other festival in the country…IT IS THE MOST POPULAR FESTIVAL IN THE PHILIPPINES…SINULOG FESTIVAL…the festival of the Filipino people and not jst of any organization…
I HOPE THE DINAGYANG PPL WOULD JST KEEP QUIET COZ no one is against you…you are jst being SO BOASTFUL…that is a clear value that does not do any good with any ILONGGO…i know many ILONGGOS who are so boastful…I HOPE UR FESTIVAL DOES NOT REPRESENT BOASTFULNESS…
Mayor unhappy over few Sinulog delegates
01/19/2007 | 08:14 AM
Email this | Email the Editor | Print | Digg this | Add to del.icio.us Signs that not all is well in this year’s Sinulog festival are showing after Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña started pushing for improvements for next year’s celebration.
Sun-Star Cebu (sunstar.com.ph) said Friday that Osmeña wants the event repackaged after he noted a drop in contingents from out of town.
“There are lots of defects here… The organizers are looking inward and are only thinking about themselves, they have to shape up. These can all be corrected but I have no more time to do all these, it has to be the organizers and the vice mayor,” he said.
The mayor pointed out the defects in the preparation for the Sinulog, including the lack of funding for contingents from outside Cebu.
But organizers blamed the drop in attendance to this year’s being an election year — local governments are reportedly being more careful in spending to send contingents to Cebu.
Osmeña admitted he is partly at fault since he was busy with the preparations for the recently concluded Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) summit.
Yet he said the Sinulog Foundation Inc. should have taken charge of some innovations in the grand parade.
From 10 out-of-town contingents last year, only six registered to compete in this Sunday’s grand parade. A contingent from Surigao City will also join, but only as guest performers.
But Vice Mayor Michael Rama, who chairs the Sinulog Foundation Inc., said the organizers did their best in inviting the out-of-town contingents to join.
Sinulog executive director Ricky Ballesteros and project director Dolly Suzara also attended the festivals in other provinces to personally invite officials to join the Sinulog.
“We already anticipated that there will be fewer contingents because it’s an election year, officials are very careful in spending government funds. And there were also calamities and typhoons that affected some of these provinces,” Rama said.
Contingents from other provinces spend at least P500,000 to go to Cebu to perform during the Sinulog, with some spending up to P1 million.
Osmeña said promotional materials featuring out-of-town contingents and nationwide coverage of the parade should be improved.
Offering the out-of-town groups exposure here and abroad will encourage them to join the festival every year, the mayor said.
“We’re good at organizing but we have to have a strong reorientation in showcasing the different towns in the country through the Sinulog. We have to refocus and repackage it. We have to realize that if we don’t get better, we’ll be sliding backwards,” he said.
After last year’s Sinulog, the mayor commissioned a professional photographer to take photos of the lead dancers of all out-of-town contingents.
The photos were used in promotional posters and calendars, and were also featured in Mabuhay, the in-flight magazine of Philippine Airlines.
Next year, Osmeña said, he will work to repackage the Sinulog and is looking at the possibility of transferring the parade to the South Road Properties. - GMANews.TV

DINAGYANG is the only festival in the world chosen by the UNITED NATIONS to promote its millenium development program. and the only festival invited to UN summit in NEPAL this year.
THE ASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK cited dinagyang festival for ‘BEST PRACTICE’ in govt.-private sector partnership in countryside development.
kung walang reputation ang NCCA & ATOP sa kanilang pagbigay ng award sa DINAGYANG baka sabihin niyo pati UN at ADB wala na rin reputation.
kung mas sikat ang festival niyo, meron ba kayo ganitong recognitions!
kung sikat ang sinulog at kalibo ati-atihan worldwide bakit di sila ang na-recognize ng UN at ADB.
kung ang SINULOG ang naglagay sa pilipinas sa tourism map ng asia, ang DINAGYANG dinala ang pilipinas sa buong mundo.
khit buong mundo ang mukha nyo dinagyang! sikat lang kau kase 3 yrs ago wala pang sinulog sa aliwan.. well pano kaya kung sumali na ang surigao’s bonok2 festival na sikat sa sinulog, pati na rin ang tangub city ng mis or. provine, camiguin’s lanzones, san carlos city pinta flores festival sa negros at iligan city sa lanao…. ewan ko nalang san pupulotion ang dinagyang…….. basta top 5 sa sinulog.. sureball na sila sa aliwan.. sana next yr ang mga lugar na to ay mag join na sa aliwan at mapangaga nalang ang mga taga manila.. try to search in youtubeandun lahat ng binanggit ko…. baka d nyo alam morethan 1M ang prize ng sinulog maliit lang ang sa aliwan sikat lang kase nasa NCR ginanap at mabuti pa ang pampanga at paranaque city alam na nila anong meron sa sinulog… kaya mag join kayo dun ipakita nyo dun na no. 1 kayo at tignan nyo pano mag celebrate ang cebuanos….kaya tahimik kana.. makiparty nalang kau next sinulog festival.
bonok2
Lahat naman na sinasabi mong mga festival wala namang ORIGINALITY. same music, same dance routine, meaning, RECYCLED!!BORING!!. Ang TANGUB na lagi champion sa sinulog NILAMPASO na ng DINAGYANG yan nung ALIWAN 2003. Ang tinitingnan sa competition INNOVATION kelangan laging BAGO hndi tulad ng festival niyo 30 YEARS AGO pa ginagawa sa dinagyang yan, GASGAS! na yan pinagmamalaki mo pa!. MAG-WORKSHOP ka muna para alam mo kung ano kahulugan ng CULTURAL PRESENTATION.
bonok2,
Kaya kung bakit ang DINAGYANG lagi nasa top 3? kasi ang dinagyang lagi bago ang INNOVATION hindi tulad ng ibang festival dyan, na walang ORIGINALITY!! RECYCLED kopya sa ibang festival, kung hindi kinopya sa sinulog kinopya sa dinagyang. merong ibang festival sinulog ang sayaw tapos dinagyang ang music! ano kaya yun!!!NAKAKATAWA!! kahit gaano kaganda ng performance niyo, talagang hindi kayo mananalo!. Dahil ang festival sino-showcase ang kultura ng bawat lugar HINDI PABONGGAHAN!!.
Tulad ng bonok2 ng surigao, lanzones ng camiguin, festival sa iligan, at tangub at lahat na! hindi mo alam kung ano sino-showcase nila, ANG STYLE NILA SINULOG! music(trumpet na maingay sa tinga), dance routine(takbo lang ng takbo). Ano ba pini-present nila, ang sinulog o ang lugar nila?
WORKSHOP!!WORKSHOP!!WORKSHOP!! muna kayo!! pag-aralan niyo muna ang kultura niyo bago kayo gumawa ng cultural presentation!!
IBA ANG ALIWAN SA SINULOG, KELANGAN KULTURA NG LUGAR NIYO ANG IPI-PRESENT NIYO. DI TULAD NA PAG-SUMALI SA SINULOG NA MERON SILANG THEME NA DAPAT SUNDIN!!
BONOK2
SUMALI NA ANG ILOILO SA SINULOG 2006, PINTADOS DE PASI, 1ST TIME LANG SUMALI, 1ST RUNNER-UP AGAD, PRODUKTO SILA NG DINAGYANG. KAYO PABALIK-BALIK NA SA SINULOG WALA PANG NAPATUNAYAN!!! SA SINULOG 2008 ABANGAN NIYO ANG PINTADOS DE PASI KUNG PAANO KAYO LAMPASUHIN ULIT!! BAKA DI NA KAYO SUMALI SA ALIWAN!!!
SINASABI MO NA KUNG LAHAT NA TOP 5 SA SINULOG MAY PANALO SA ALIWAN?, PASOK PA RIN ANG ILOILO SA TOP 3 SA ALIWAN, DAHIL ANG PINTADOS DE PASI NASA TOP 2 SA SINULOG. KAYA LANG, WALA NG ENTRY ANG ILOILO SA ALIWAN 2008!!
hoi!!! anong patunayan? FYI.. since 1990 upto 2005 hindi lumabas sa top5 ang bonok2 sa sinulog.. naging 2005 and 2006 champion sila sa kadayawan.. GUEST PERFORMER NALANG SILA SA 2007 SINULOG at baka d mo po alam 2005 sinulog 1st runner nga ang pintados ni passi pero CHAMPION PO ANG CAMIGUIN AT ANG CHOREOGRAPHER ANG RESIDENT CHOREOGRAPHER NG BONOK2 d kase sila sumali ng 2005 kaya camiguin hired him!!! alam yan ng lumad! baka d mo lang alam world folklore grand champion sila ng 1990 d pa uso ang aliwan at mas maraming sumali held in pasay city parin… sabihn nyo nalang ayaw nyo tlga aminin na nag umpisa na kayong mawala!
