    ganda talaga ng performance ng tribu paghidaet sa youtube. ganda ng pagkahalo ng kaunting trumpet sa music, nag bblend talaga! at sa backup dancers na nakikipagtagisan ng sayaw sa warriors at the same time, nagkasabaysabay pa ng sayaw, hanep!

    bat yung ibang tribu parang hindi marunong mag sayaw ang mga backup at warrior nila? paputol-putol ang music at sayaw. dapat continues like tribu pahidaet until the end.

    yung ilonganon pangit ng sayaw kaya natalo. please! don’t get offended. nag sasabi lang ng totoo. music nila maganda sana pero putol2x. sana magworkshop pa ng sayaw mga choreographer ng mga tribu para talagang ma excite pa ang mga tao kahit simple lang like sa tribu san pedro. simple pero maganda ang kinalalabasan.

    nice pix talga! i like it!sana sa susunod i count naman nila ang difficulties of steps like ung ginawa ng ilonganon ang hirap kaya ee xecute ung salakot at ang costume excellent color combination sorry to tell this pero ang tribu paghidaet marami lang sila pero sa steps thesame kung baga marami sanang magagawang exhibition ang pdghidaet dahil sa dami nila pero hanggang doon lang ang nakayanan ng choreographer nila sana naman ang kunin nilang judges eh ung may knowledge sa dancing at theme ng sayaw di ung dahil sa dami ng dancers un na ang mananalo ang masasabi ko lang baduy ang nanalo ngaung dinagyang! anyway thank you sa mga photos i like it very much good luck next year
