Latest Aliwan 2009 Festival Update
Posted by on March 14, 2009
MBC is now on high gear as they prepare the 7th edition of the Aliwan Fiesta 2009. Aliwan 2009 is an annual gathering of the country’s best, biggest, loudest and the most colorful festivals in a three-day affair which will culminate with the grand street dance competition.

This year’s Aliwan 2009 is slated APRIL 23-25 2009. There willbe some changes in this year’s Aliwan Fiesta.
Probably the most obvious isd the parade route. During the past year’s The Aliwan Streetdance starts at theQuirino Grandstand and will traverse the Roxas Boulevard until they reach the final judging area at the Aliw Theater. This time, the route has been interchanged so that more people will get to see the country’s best festivals perform.
This year, the parade will start at the Aliw Theater and will wind up at the Quirino Grandstand. The parade will start at 3PM.

I’ve seen it live both the 1st and the 2nd place. the performance and choreography of iloilo is way even better. yung sa costume nga lang medyo dehado doon ang iloilo. medyo kulang yung visual effect nang color nila kulang sa uniformness and the brightness. but overall, i was mesmerised, amused. para akong natulala sa performance nila talaga. nanindig mga balahibo ko sa nakita ko grabe. congrats! to all Iloilo contingents! consistent in many ways. yung sa buyogan naman very grand ang dating sa cutume. maraming additional sa costume though ganoon din naman costume nila last year, overall maganda din performance nila.. By the way, yung huli na galing from iloilo bongga ang dating. sayang di kasali sa competition…
congrats! pala sa Buyogan festival and to others who are in the Top ten..
meron bang replay ang aliwan?…..
Hello everyone,
When I saw Buyogan Festival sa Youtube I have a strong feeling na sila talaga ang mananalo sa aliwan, pero puedeng lumaban ang Kasag because it’s something new sa mata nang tao. I am an avid fun of Dinagyang but watching the performance of tribu paghidaet sa youtube ay hindi talaga ako ma convince eversince. Paulit ulit kung pilit na e-convince ang self ko na maganda ang Tribu paghidaet but may kulang talaga. Tribu kasag is a big surprise sa aliwan bec bago sya. wala akong masabi sa Buyogan, very solid, very festive and cute! But even na 3rd lang ang Dinagyang, hindi na natin ma wala sa isip nang tao na its still the best kahit ano pa man. Oo marming na hurt but I really admire the drive of dinagyang. as we can see here, most of the dinagyang followers ay wala din masabi sa result bec Buyogan is really good but kung pag uusapan lang ang last year ay paghidaet should have won talaga. I’m happy na nanalo ang buyogan pero sana makapasok din ang taga luzon at mindanao sa top 3 next time.

Ako ang performances ng Iloilo contingent it was an excellent performances mapatulala ka talaga pero ang kulang sa kanila ang color or tingkad ng kulay ang buyugan simply pero cute nga at intact, at colorful ang props yan lang talaga ang edge sa iloilo contingents pero sa skills mapa WOW ka talga sa performances ng ILOILO, CONGRATS kayo ang nagbibigay ng kulay sa Aliwan ILOILO. Ang mga last years na reuslta ng Aliwan yun ang hindi talaga matangap hindi lang ng mga ilonggo kahit mga tao rin na nakakita sa Aliwan talagang totoong lutong Makaw talag na obvious Loosers ang lumad pero im sure tangap ng iloilo ang ngayun kay may props edge talaga. Pero ILOILO you are great really mangha talaga ang audience sa yearly na performances nyo hindi gaya sa iba puro pulit ulit lang kailangan ang buyugan iba narin next year ha? kasi mawala na ang originality paginulit nyo yan, wala naman probleme sa DINAGYANG palaging bago talaga sila at pinaghihirapan talaga nila. CONGRATS DINAGYANG AT ALL ILOILO CONTINGENTS you are all really very talented and authentic BEST FESTIVAL CAPITAL OF THE PHILIPPINES. I SALUTE TO ILOILO FESTIVALS MABUHAY KAYO ILOILO.
Congrats to Buyugan , totoo agree din ako na makintab talaga ang kulay nila at costumes, pero sa performances mas SALUDO talaga ako sa mga Iloilo Contingents mapa WOW ka talaga, as super tingnan nyo hindi sila nawawala kasi may Quality ang Festival nila. ILOILO Congratulations you are really very beautiful and very consistent Festival.
Isa lang ang masabi ko ang mga WORLD CLASS na Festival talaga na mga trainors, at performances ng Festivals ay galing from ILOILO at yan ang totoo at sila talaga ang nagbibigay ng malaking kulay sa Aliwan, Alam naman ng lahat kahit ang mga nanalo puro paulit ulit lang ang performances tingnan nyo ang iloilo panay bago ang performances at may Quality yan ang katutuhanan kaya nasa Top sila palagi at malakas at pinakamagaling na contenders. Kaya marami ang SALUDO sa ILOILO proven na yan. Congrats all ILOILO Contingents you are all very talented, and Worth as the Best Festival Capital of the Philippines.
the sinulog festival was represented by the municipality of Alcoy, Cebu. A town located at the southeastern part of cebu,wherein an endemic bird called the black shama or the siloy can be found.thats where the Alcoy had thier festival derived from, SILOY FESTIVAL of ALCOY.the sinulog was represented by elementary students from the said municipality and did a great job on thier performace since they are the only contingent which are represented by elementary students(correct me if im wrong,i havent wathced the festival this year yet).
its a good thing that the last group (grupo del oeste)of west visayas state univ representing the the Samab de Regatta of the Iloilo Paraw Regatta Festival was just a guest performer! A new sight to behold in Aliwan 2009! Iba and dating ang super ganda! Ang maga dancers ang gagaling! Minimalist ang props and the real come on was the real dance! ang galing! I heard they will officially compete for next year’s Aliwan! If it happens baka Iloilo lahat makakuha ng awards! Congrats Iloilo Paraw Regatta Festival! Kakaiba kayo!
great work! do you have pix of the winners of reyna ng aliwan? miss sean maynard of cebu?
