Posted by on December 9, 2007
ILOILO City – This southern city will leave no stone unturned in its hosting of the country’s top tourism event by January next year.
Dinagyang Festival 2008 is expected to surpass past years’ preparation to make it the grandest and “larger than life” concept in attracting tourists, balikbayans, business locators and top officials to this city.
Dinagyang Foundation Executive Director Ben Jimena said the celebration will be a full month of daily activities but will be highlighted by a three-day weekend on January 25-27, 2008 featuring the ati-atihan, kasadyahan and drum and bugle competitions all geared to honor Senior Sto. Niño.
Dinagyang was chosen – for the second time – recently by the Association of Tourism Officers of the Philippines (ATOP) as the top tourism event in the country.
