IMO no other festival can match the choreography and synchronized fast-paced movements of Dinagyang as they dance to the intense beating of the drums.
i agree, only dinagyang can prove what “breath taking performance” is all about!

sulong HALAD Festival! heehehe
like i can go. ugh. i am so hating work right now.
*smile.
all festivals in the philippines are all nice and beautiful… but the best for me is the sinulog mardigra in Cebu….
“intense beating of the drums” - kaya nga wala nang music eh. puro noise na lang.
yeah DINAGYANG is the best kaya linalampaso sila ng SINULOG…
DINAGYANG is the best interms of kayabangan…
Turagsoy! Crab mentality!
promote your own festival!

MABUHAY ILOILO DINAGYANG FESTIVAL!!!
MyKi,
maraming festival na maganda ang kultura lalo na sa mindanao, kasama na ang hermosa pero hindi nila nagawa ng maayos ang kanilang performance, nasa competition level tayo, hindi ‘to pagandahan ng kultura, ‘di mo pwede sabihin sa mga judges na kayo d’ best dahil kayo ang pinakamayaman ang kultura kung hindi naman maayos ang choreography. kaya nga merong criteria.
it’s my pride to be the FIRST to congratulate the FIRST back-to-back FIRST placer of the aliwan festival 2007…
LUMAD BASAKANON OF CEBU CITY…
oh, sa mga ayaw tumanggap ng pagkatalo dyan, umpisahan nyo nang gumawa ng kwento tungkol sa lutong macao part 2.
galingan nyo ha.
.
.
padyaw lang ang ubra niyo!!!
nami ang DINAGYANG ah.
SABAT PAH?????
ddcage,
WALANG PAPATOL SA HAMON MO!!!, SIGE MAGALING NA KAYO. PANALO NA KAYO!! WALA NG GAGALING PA SA MGA CEBUANO, D’ BEST SA BUONG MUNDO, ANO PA GUSTO MONG SABIHIN PARA SA’YO, GUSTO MO NG MEDALYA, TROPE? ANO PA? SIGE SABIHIN MO LANG.
ISIGAW NATIN SA BUONG MUNDO, MAGALING ANG SINULOG!!!
MAGANDA ANG CEBU!! PUNTAHAN NIYO ANG JUNQUERA MARAMI SARIWA DUN!!!
PADALA NATIN SA BUONG MUNDO ANG LUMAD BASAKANON SOBRA ANG GALING!!!
WALA NG KOKONTRA!! PINO-PROMOTE KO NA KAYO!!
I witnessed the Aliwan 2007. Surely, the Sinulog contingent was the best. They were precise, choreography is perfect and entertaining. Although Dinagyang gave a close shot.
I am not a cebuano but from Pasig City.
We must be proud that we have so many festivals in the country.
Every year dinagyang introduces new innovations, compare to other contingent na rotor or recycled ang performance and choreography.
Sa mga first time lang manood ng ganitong events siyempre ang ganda ng performance ang tinitingnan, pero sa competition dapat lagi bago ang style. Kung napapanood natin ang lahat na festival sa buong pilpinas malaki ang pagkakaiba ng dinagyang, mabilis sila magpalit ng concept hindi boring panoorin.
Ang sabi mismo ng executive director ng sinulog gusto nila sumali ulit ang iloilo sa sinulog 2008 kasi sila ang nagpauso ng mga bagong innovation ng sumali ang entry ng iloilo na pintados de passi(1st runner-up) nung sinulog 2006.
hmm..wat can i say???ive been here in cebu for a couple of years…but i havent watched sinulog even once….why?pretty damn boring..i wonder why DINAGYANG alwayc catch the 2nd place where in the first place aliwan was patterned to DINAGYANG…grrr…
sige lang!!!next year kita nman ang mabirada!!!hala bira!
it is only to prove that ALIWAN FESTIVAL is not for DINAGYANG’S GLORY but to the glory of all festivals in the country i hope this one clears the regionalism aspect of the issue…kau kasi parang hari kau kung makapanalo lang ng isa sa ALIWAN. di nyo binibigyan ng credit ung mga hindi nananalo sa festival coz they are part also of the show…ALIWAN showcases all the festivals and not only DINAGYANG or SINULOG…this is for the country. THE COMPETITION IS THERE JST TO MOTIVATE THE PROVINCES TO JOIN THE SHOW coz if no money or prizes, NO ALIWAN, NO SHOW right???
ALIWAN like other festivals, is a production of our country to show the world what the country offers for the whole and what the world can see in it…
Congratulations to:
1st - DINAGYANG FESTIVAL of Iloilo
2nd - MASSKARA FESTIVAL of Bacolod
3rd - PARAW REGATTA of Iloilo
BEST TOURISM EVENT IN THE PHILIPPINES
