Posted on November 20, 2006
Just a few weeks ago, the Iloilo Dinagyang Foundation has launched the Dinagyang Festival 2007. The launching was held during the Western Visayas Tourism Festival in Iloilo City. 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.

Hi Eric,
I heard that some Dinagyang tribes will be in Manila on December. I guess this is the national launching of 2007 Iloilo Dinagyang Festival on December 16, 2006 (Saturday). Or baka meron pang ibang celebration or contest this coming December na magjo-join sila? Do you have any knowledge or confirmation about this?
are you going to dingayang or sinulog?
i still remember the first time i went to see a live Dinagyang Festival in downtown Iloilo. since i was a small kid then, i easily went passed thru the crowds that were standing along the street. then when i was in front and saw the dark and painted faces dancing and shouting i was terrified! i ran back to my mom & dad. hehe
anton im ging to both festivals
eheheh

Hi! I’m a runner from Malaysia and I am very excited to read about Dinagyang Festival and the running events that come with it. Would have loved to run the Half Marathon but it is too bad that I have registered for another run in Malaysia.
I will consider to come to this event next year. Pls keep me posted. Salamat Po!
P/S: One question: Which website/ blogs have listing of running events (10K/ 21K and Marathon) in Philippines?
I miss Iloilo and and I’ll be home this Dinagyang 2009! Go Iloilo!
I miss my home town! I miss you Iloilo
