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?
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.
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:

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!!

Comment ko lang kang mhel….
Bago ka magsalita at ipagmalaki ang pintados de passi, tingnan mo muna kung sino ang naglampaso sa kanila sa sinulog 2006, camiguin lang naman po ang tumalo sa ino, of course, during that time, ang sayaw ng camiguin ay chinoreo ng surigao choreographer. Di niyo nga nachampion kaagad ang sinulog pag 1st sali niyo, nagmamayabang na kaagad kayo. Di pa nagkaharap ang pintados de passi at tribu karagan ng Surigao. Pero sa nakita namin sa performance niyo sa sinulog 2007, mas challenging pang makalaban ang iligan city kaysa sa inyo. Kala niyo walang criticism sa inyo? Sayaw niyo parang combination ng modernize dance, patalon talon lang, pagiling giling parang nag ootso otso, tapos paikot ikot. Backdrop-napakadumi! nagsasayaw ang mga dancers, nagaarange sa likod ang mga propsmen, napaka distracting. Storyline, common na. Don’t you know yung concept ng mananangal ay na interpret na yan sa sinulog during 1990′s? At saka bakit may warewolf…wala namang warewolf sa pinas. Tapos walang interpretation kung paano natulungan ng sto nino ang mga tao…Parang pinatay ng mga maligno ang mga tao tapos maya maya nabuhay at nagsayaw sayaw na, ano ba yun?
Tapos isa pa, sabi niyo, number one kayo when it comes to speed ng sayaw? SURE KAYO? eh sa sayaw yung iyon, halfway lang yun sa speed ng sayaw ng taga karagan. Kung duda kayo, tingnan niyo nalang sa youtube, sinulog 2007 surigao city. Kaya nga di niyo na grab ang top place sa 1st na pagsali niyo. Dapat kasi pag magaling talaga kayo, first pagsali niyo dapat champion kaagad gaya ng ibang sumasali ng sinulog. Eh bakit natalo kayo ng camiguin na choreographer nun eh galing sa tribu karagan? So meaning to say, kahit hindi pa nagkaharap ang tribu karagan at pintados de passi, obviously mas magaling mag conceptualize ang choreographer namin. Comment ko lang po ito regarding po sa mga pagmamayabang ng mga taga ilo-ilo. Dahil kung talagang magaling sila, bakit 2 years na kayong nilampaso ng lumad basakanon sa aliwan diba?
Tofen, pumunta ka ng CCP at NCCA mukhang kahit ikaw di mo yata naintindihan ang sinasabi mo regardng sa concept ng pintados de passi sa sinulog, pakita mo na rin yung performance ng tribu karagan sila na magsasabi sayo,nakikita nila lahat na performance ng lahat na festival, kesa magtalo tayo dito, dahil kami manalo o matalo marami na napatunayan. ang camiguin ilang taon na ba sila sumasali sa sinulog? pero ngayon lang nag-champion. ang pintados de passi 1st time lang 1st runner-up agad sa sinulog at champion agad sa aliwan 2005 malaking pride na yun para sa first timer. yung concept na manananggal 70′s pa nauso yan sa dinagyang sa iloilo,at wala pa ang sinulog,marunong ba kayo mag-interpret ng storyline wala naman werwolf dun sa props ng pintados? puro kayo comment wala naman pala kayo naintindihan sa storyline, mag-workshop kaya muna kayo para may maintindihan.
kung talagang magaling ang surigao bakit di kayo sumali at patunayan? kayo pa ang di kasali kayo pa ang maraming negative comment. yung mga taga cebu taga luzon na regular na kasali sa mga national competition wala nga sila sinasabing negative kanino man. ang iloilo manalo o matalo may karapatan magyabang dahil lumalaban kami sa lahat na competition. crab mentality ng mga pilipino uso pa pala sa surigao!!! regarding sa lutong macau? opinion lang yan ng iilan at ng mga nakapanuod pati ng media!!
to Mhel…
FYI din sa iyo, 3 years pa lang po ang Aliwan festival, since 2004 pa. Iresearch mo nga ang name nun before nila pinalitan ng aliwan? Okay, kung di mo alam, before, in 2000 it was tagged as Wow Philippines best of the best. Before that also, it was named as World folklore festival during the 1990′s. At eresearch mo narin or itanong sa CCP kung sinong contigent ang nag evolve dun sa festivals na yun. Baka ma shock ka sa makita mo?
At about sa Sinulog, since sumali po ang Surigao sa Sinulog for the 1st time in 1990, grand champion kaagad, in 2 consecutive years pa. Then in 1995 came another group also, the bulawanong placer which is the tagged as Sinulog’s most phenomenal performance kasi Sarimanok yung concept at never po natalo ang bulawanong placer sa Sinulog kaya tinagged din sila as one of sinulog’s dark horse aside for tribu Bonok2x. At nang sumali din sila sa Kadayawan for the first time, grand champion din, at until now, defending champion parin. Ang pintados de passi, 1st entry, di na kaagad impressive kasi di nag grand champion, 2nd lang, ang masama pa nito, choreographer pa ng Bonok2x ang nagturo sa camiguin, ang nag grand champion during that time. As what I have heard, during that time in Sinulog 2006, it was the choreographer also of tribu ilongganon ang nagturo sa pintados de passi. Hindi siya successful sa pag dominate sa sinulog dahil nag 2nd lang siya, meaning to say, mas magaling pa rin ang choreogrpher namin when it comes to concepts, storyline at synchronization.
Correction then sayo mhel sa sinabi mo regarding camiguin. Wala ka talagang alam. Di mo ba alam na nanalo ang camiguin sa sinulog during 1995? Ang camiguin hindi natatanggal sa top 5. Wag kang magsalita ng mga bagay2x na hindi mo alam. Regarding sa concept niyo, totoo naman, eh hambing mo nga storyline niyo sa storyline ng camiguin during Sinulog 2006? Sa camiguin, its very clear na interpret nila ang kahalagahan ng pananampalataya kay sto nino. Kayo, pano niyo inenterpret yun aber? Pinatay ng maligno lahat ng tao at maya-maya nabuhay lang ng bigla at nagsayaw sayaw na kaagad, parang ginawa niyo lang na props ang sto nino dun. Sa camiguin, klarong klaro, binuhay ng sto nino ang bata, sa inyo, walang interpretation ng sto nino. At ano pala tawag mo dun sa isang halimaw niyo, eh diba ware wolf yun? Sa right yung kapre, sa center yung mananangal at sa left side yung warewolf. Ba’t mo yun ededeny eh klarong klaro naman sa costume nun na warewolf yun, eh ano pala tawag mo dun?
Alam mo mhel ireseach mo nalang or itanong sa NCCA or CCP kung ano na ang mga naging achievements ng Surigao sa mga national at international festivals held in manila. We were dominating during the 90′s in Philippine’s grandest festival, the Wow Philippines best of the best and the World Folklore Festival. Ngayon lang 2000 medyo di nakasali because there had been a change of political system here in surigao, hindi po roman catholic ang present governor ng surigao kayo ayun, di masyadong supportive when it comes to festivals. Pero kahit papano, na maintain pa rin namin ang status namin both in Sinulog and Kadayawan, as far you know naman, this festivals are the grandest festivals in the Philippines, mag react kaman, its the reality. Itanong mo na rin yan sa mga lumad basakanon kung sinong group ang great contender nila para ma aware naman kayo na hindi kayo ganun ka challenging kung itapad sa lumad basakanon.
Tofen, ang aliwan nag-start 2003, 5 years na ngayon. ang aliwan inorganized ng manila broadcasting co. at starcity. ang wow philippines at world folklore inorganizd nd DOT at CCP magkaiba sila.same venue lang kasi nasa CCP complex ang MBC.
Tofen, kung talagang magaling ang festival niyo at kayo ang grandest festival, nasaan na kayo ngayon ni wala nga balita sa inyo. wala nga nakakilala sa inyo. wala kami pakialam kung marami kayo achievement, hindi ikamamatay ng mga ilonggo kung matalo niyo ang dinagyang. kayo parang mamamatay na sa galit! ipagtanggol lang ang festival niyo. sus! festival lang yan!.karamihan nga sa mga probinsya sa luzon wala nga maipagmalaki na festival pero maunlad pa rin sila at top tourist destination sila.
festivals are religious activities, hindi dapat pag-awayan kung sino magaling, ang mga comments ko ay defense at reaction ko lang sa negative na binabato sa dinagyang. regarding sa lutong macau? reaction lang ng mga nakapanuod at ng iilan at hindi ng buong dinagyang community. ipromote niyo na lang ang festival niyo instead of attacking other festivals. hindi niyo kaya i-down ang dinagyang kahit ano gawin niyo. dinagyang is an institution, supported by different local and international prestigious organization, private sectors & taking financial support from multinational companies. malayo na narating ng dinagyang. Mawawala lang ang dinagyang kung mga ilonggo na mismo ang ayaw. Nagsasayang lang kayo ng oras sa pag-aatake sa dinagyang.
ganyan talaga ang pilipino hindi natatalo,diNADAYA LANG.GINAPIKO GINAPALA,DOESNT THAT SOUND FAMILAIR MGA ILONGO???

congrats sa inyong lahat…
as i have observed here…
”i love my own talaga”
stop niyo na yang crab mentality…
go go go cebu.. ceboom na tayo simula pa noon..
pit senyor…. sinulog festival.. the mother of all festivals
dinagayang still rules! other festivals copy the drum instruments of dinagyang! one of this is the 500 liter drum that used to be a container of water. iloilo dinagyang tribes developed it as a main drum for the dinagyang competition. and managers from different festivals copy it.
I was there at the festival…and I cannot see the point, why did Sinulog win…I went to cebu for their sinulog this year and I went to Iloilo for the dinagyang after..
now, I understand why Dinagyang was adjudged the best tourism festival by the DOT.
And honestly, performance wise…duh Sinulog is just one of those….while dinagyang continues to evolve and is getting more fantastic.
watch out for the performance of their winner this coming Aliwan (that’s May 3) and you will be in for the biggest surprise.
By the way, I am from Makati

That’s what you call a real winning streak, ILOILO’s real winning streak. If all of Iloilo’s Festivals will join Aliwan, i bet Iloilo will dominate the winner’s list. Beat that!
