The organizers promised a more bigger and more exciting Dinagyang Festival this coming January by giving out one million pesos for the grand prize winner. The highlights of the festival will be on January 27-28, 2007.

One of the symbols of Iloilo is the Arroyo Fountain. This waterfountain also serves as the Kilometer Zero for the island of Panay. The Arroyo Fountain was built in honor of the late Ilonggo Senator Jose Maria Arroyo, grandfather of First Gentleman Mike Arroyo.

The fountain features four graceful women carrying a large basin over their head. This magnificent structure is located just in front of the old provincial Capitol of Iloilo.
