its excitinggg
this is my priority in my vacation this april to watch aliwan. Good to all the Contingents.
im going for dinagyang this year as the best bet for aliwan. i watched their performance in youtube. definitely better than last year.
SINULOG will be represented by ALCOY & CARMEN while provincial government will send PALAWOD FESTIVAL of Bantayan TO COMPETE FOR ALIWAN
hi ariana Sinulog will send 3 contingents? akala ko 2 contingents lang ang allowed?
Hindi na pala sasali ang Lumad Basakanon, Good luck nalang sa Sinulog Festival, Alcoy at Palawod ay first time sasali sa aliwan. Malamang matutuwa ang Dinagyang nito.
why is it masskara festival has no plans of joining the event?is it because masskara is masskara….
masskara is masskara? i dont think so. one of the requirements in aliwan, i believe is that the music should be live and with that, masskara is automatically out of the contest. Unless they change their music to drumbeats.
, we are very lucky to have the aliwan fiesta, grandest of the grendest festivals in the world…
we hope, our province nueva vizcaya could also send its contingent, sayang naman, i am an avid fan of the aliwan, and wish to join again the most awaited part of the 3 day event, the streetdance competition…
bakit nga pala di sasali ang basakanon, sayang naman…
but i thing, iloilo will make a revenge… siguro nga 2009 is their most awaited year para makopo ulit ng dinagyang ang aliwan, talagang magaling din kasi sila in fairness….
wala lang, sa mga contingents from luzon, wish you luck… sana kahit 3rd man lang may makapasok narin sa inyo….
2 contingent per region ang nasa rules..how come cebu will send 3 contingent…hmmmm…
my bet is on tribu kasag of iloilo kasadyahan.
Hi summer tripper,
It will be a tough contest this year a lot of good festivals will be coming; much improved and some are new. Yeah I am hoping that Dinagyang will win again. Why you like Dinagyang?
Xibu
CEBUANO tribes are the most anticipated tribe since everyone is blank on what CEBU will showcase this ALIWAN. But surely we will send a powerful contingent enough to land on TOP 3 just watchout! GO CEBU!
Hi Ariana,
I just saw the Sinulog in Youtube and it’s really great! I like the Sinulog based top winner. if they will represent Cebu it will be amazing! what is your bet to land in the top 3?
Xibu
tama ka arriana, sigurado top 3 ang cebu.
TOP 1 = TRIBU KASAG OF ILOILO
TOP 2 = DINAGYANG ILOILO
TOP 3 = CEBU O KAYA LEYTE
Xibu, SB grand winner is the Sinanduloy Dance Troupe. its from Tangub City Mis Or. therefore it cannot join aliwan carrying the name of cebu.
though bet ko talaga manalo sa SB ang sinanduloy, gusto ko din ang performance ng Don Sergio Osmeña HS. sila yung 1st runner up sa SB.
mas gusto ko sana ipadala ng sinulog ang Don Sergio Osmena kaysa Alcoy.
ill update the list of contingents after holy week.
may official list na ng contingents. check nyo list ulit sa taas ni revise ko na yan…
So Iloilo City will send tree groups for Aliwan?-though Banate is part of Iloilo province, but It’s the Kasadyahan of Dinagyang the brought them to Aliwan (anyway, hope Iloilo’s delegation will once again captures the heart of crowd ;D).With Samba de Regatta of Iloilo Paraw Regatta as guest performer. that’s final? No More Possible Changes in the list?
bakit walang contingent ang cebu City????????? hay……………….ol i cn say is SAYANG
Bakit po wala ang SInulog Festival ng Cebu City at ang Sapatero Festival ng MArikina City…..
hi.
Sinulog 2009 winner of the SB category is the Sinanduloy Cultural Troupe of Tangub City, Misamis Occidental and not Mis Or.
We are not joning Aliwan representing Cebu (Sinulog) or our very own Dalit Festival due to very tight schedules.
how come alikaraw is not participating anymore? hhhhmmmmm.. they’re even better…
alikaw lost in pintados kasadyaan last june. 3rd place lang sila, 2nd place yng karatong thats why…
hi to all
my bet to win is
Sinulog of Cebu
Dinagyang of Iloilo
Karatong of Dulag
Halad festival of Midsayap
Buyugan of Abuyog
Kadayawan of Davao
bat hindi sumali ang alikaraw, sinulog of carmen, haizzz..but its ok, marami namang bagong contignents
OVcourse sana may Live Coverage ng Aliwan 2009, at may videos ng mga contingents like aliwan 2008
hope sana may online votes at text votes, hindi naman kasi sukatan ang crowd sa criteria,….
you know naman ano ang gina mean ko…
so GOD BLESS to all my chosen Contingents!!
specially to all mindanao contingents!!
^_^
at myra… sana nga may online votes at text votes..tingnan natin kung anung contingent ang fave ng madlang pipol..ang audience impact ay bahagi ng supporta ng mga magagaling na contingent..=)

promise???
thanks
gaya last year???
heheh
nah not like last year. this year. I will be streaming live video of the Aliwan
tama ka myra
yan din ang bet ko manalo
pero sayang wala ang lumad and carmen of sinulog
hehehehehe
ok na yun, nakakasawa naman ang dance moves nila,
gusto ko ulit manalo ang mga taga mindanao….
dahil sa history ng aliwan, once palang nag champion ang mga taga mindanao and that is halad
i am expecting that halad will have a breathtaking dance, like they did last aliwan 2003 and 2004
pero sana may online at text votes
at sana di kasali sa criteria ang crowds favorite
hehehehe
good luck to all!!
im from ANTIQUE
sayang walang sinulog sa aliwan. mas maganda sana kung nandun ang sinulog. anyway, manonood p rin ako.
PG,
gusto mo nandyan ang sinulog??, nakakasawa naman nun…
maiba ka naman!!
yup kakasawa talaga
… no bias
ewan ko nga…
bakit nanalo pa…
Hello,
I would like to give credit to Mr. Edwin C. Duero who is really the father of Iloilo’s very creative and artistic festivals. It all started when Mr. Duero with the assistance of Mrs. Amaguin invested sweat and blood to the “Dagyaw and Theater Dance Company” of Iloilo National High School and the well-loved Tribu Bola-Bola. before tribu Bola-bola came out the costume, musicality and movements of Dinagyang festival and Kasadyahan is dwelling more into 80′s type of ati movements and Kawilihan’s and Panayanon’s folk dances. do you remember the kasadyahan festival showcases more on folk dances and a bit of dance drama? The dinagyang before focuses more on formations, banig costumes and “sako.” When Mr. Duero’s artistic ideas came out, the costume started to be minimal, but authentic and wild! the movements became difficult, contemporary and modern. until it was adapted by most of the tribes and festivals of Iloilo. Did you know that most of the prime choreographers of the festival of Iloilo like Pintados de Passi, Tultogan, Kasadyahan, Dinagyang… etc got their trainings from Mr. Duero in Dagyaw? They all have grown and became excellent trainors as well scattered in different festivals. Rommel the trainor of tribu Kasag and Ilonganon was a student of Mr. Duero, Errol the choreographer of tribu paghidaet was a student of Mr. Duero, Julius of Sta Barbara’s Kahilwayan, and many more. Many performing artists are asking why in Iloilo the movements, the music and the totality of theatrical presentation is really big deal? because most of the Iloilo artists are trained advance with the help of Mr. Duero. He was the one who brought the Dagyaw to seville spain during the world expo that our country got a standing ovation during the performance. I say he is one of the revolutionary artist of Iloilo in performing arts. so I thank Mr. Duero for his great contribution to the Ilongos.
HOW ABOUT YOU GUYS? You may share your knowledge about your festival there on how it became famous. Like Masskara festival’s mother of creativity was a short lady of and she was the prime choreographer of Lopue’s dept store. I remember they were the one who started the tanga costume in Lambada music, I was a boy that time. he he he! Let’s share sensible thoughts here and not drag each other down.
All the best!!!
Xibu

GODBLESS US ALL

Hi Jack,
What is Halad Festival? I want to know because I have’nt been to Mindanao yet. If you could share something you could help promote your mindanao festivals and many will benefit here. I know few festivals of our country that has its own identity but the rest are almost the same. Whoever is that contingent that has the most applause from the crowd, I admire the support of the people. if they traveled far from their province all the way to Manila to support that is really something right? or if they are just only scattered in Manila then gather in one ocassion just to support their beloved festival that is amazing right? they stop for a while leave their work, bring their family and friends and support show their love to their province. for sure its not only those people supporting their own festival from one province are staying in Manila. there are thousands! why can’t they come on that day? why can’t they follow the loyalty of those people? that spirit of those people supporting their festival is really great! With all the support from their province, with all the great preparation plus the support of the people who belongs to the province of that festival and plus the support of other people not from the province of that festival it will really make a difference. if you are not busy on the 25th, bring your family and friends and support your festival. when you are there on the night of the contest you will really see how the people from that province love thier own.
May the best festival win!
All the best!
Xibu
xibu, halad is from midsayap. theyre the first ever aliwan champion.
as always halad lands in the top 10 eerytime they join aliwan. they never fail to amaze the crowd
Hello Enrico,

God bless us all
^_^
wow festival versus festival…wonderfull
let’s see nlng this april 25…
ayoko ng mindanao(ung lugar lng po)
kc imbis turista, mga terrorista e
sana pakawalan na ang red cross volunter pray po kayu sa katatahimikan ng ating bansa… thanks
sana maka 3rd mn lng ung halad festival…
A L I W A N N A ! ! !
GO PACQUIAO
sir enrico pano po kami makakita ng live streaming mo???
di2 po ba???
Hi Xibu,
Just would like to know, how did you know about Mr edwin Duero?
hi dagoy
uhmm..
im from mindanao
correct ko lang hindi lahat ng lugar tulad ng sulu
at hindi lahat ng tao duo terorista lalo na sa north cotabato
dun lang yun sa sulu at basilan ang may gulo palagi
….
uhmmm back to the main discussion
sana nga maka sali na ang halad sa top 3
kasi wala na silang makakalaban ng mas magaling pa sa kanila
pero sa akin ang Halad festival parin ang magaling
sayang hindi ang NDMC ang nag represent ng Halad , yung contingent last 2008
ang mag represent this 2009 is NDRVMCC
Pero yung nag train sa NDMC yun parin ang nag train sa NDRVMCC
…..
basta malalaman lang yang sa 25
sana ang media partner nila ay yung popular naman tulad ng ABS-CBN kasi ang ibang kababayan natin sa probinsya Anthena lang ang gamit nila at 1sang channel lang ang makuha , at yun ang ABS-CBN….pero ang iba naman nakakakuha naman ng GMA
at sana rin yung sabi namin na online votes at text votes ay pa tupad!!
cge po till here
GOD BLESS
kitakits nalang sa ALIWAN
pero
i’ll not be there this years aliwan
i will be missin it
T_T
GOD BLESS
^_^
Xavie
hope walang dayaan ang magaganap lahat tayo kapamilya
I noticed that theres a battle of regions going on here? Whats the problem with you guys? This event supposed to unite different cultures here in the Philippines. (Huwag insultuhan please?) Let’s respect everyones festival, cultures, and heritage. Lahat naman ng contigents deserves to win. Kasi all of us are Filipinos. We are talented and creative type of people. Yes, indeed this is a contest. Lets respect the judges decision. Kung sino man yung festival na mananalo, well lets support them to lift up the tourism industry in our country. Damay-damay lng yan eh. If we feed/nourish one part of the body, it benefit the other…In addition, I hope every festival organizer of each festivals will have some kind of conference or forum to share good practices of their respective festivals. (I don’t know if there is. Do they?…) Tama na ang “crab mentality”. Kaya hindi umuusad Pilipinas. Lets work hand in hand in uplifting our tourism industry through “ALIWAN FEST”. I believe that tourism is one of the key to raise our economy. Our country has lots of potentials. With variation of festivals? ano masasabi ng “RIO CARNIVAL”?..Tourism means job!…Are we cool on that?….just being a concerned Filipino.
yep..
your right LYTZ
This event supposed to unite different cultures here in the Philippines. at Let’s respect everyone’s festival, cultures, and heritage. Lahat naman ng contingents deserves to win….
GOD BLESS and GOOD LUCK to those who are joining this special event of this country!!

to the Dinagyang your team is also the one of the best contingent to beat.

GOOD LUCK LAKBAYAW TRIBU LACSON….
Good Luck to all the contingents..
Mabuhay ang Pinoy!!
Mabuhay ang ALIWAN FIESTA…
Suggestion: To be fair to all the festivals, sana magkaroon ng category. Luzon Category, Visayaz Category, and Mindanao Category. And each categories shall have its respective champions and runners-up. Para everyone can taste victory. Siguro naman wala ng bangayan kung sino yung the best kasi tatlo na eh. c”,)
hello everyone….hope sana sucess ang aliwan para manlang maganda sa mga turista natin dito sa pinas……im from borongan city eastern samar,wala akong bet na grupo! kung sino ang magpasaya sa mga tao yun ang panalo sakin…..
yup….
To be fair to all the festivals, sana magkaroon ng category. Luzon Category, Visayaz Category, and Mindanao Category. And each categories shall have its respective champions and runners-up. Para everyone can taste victory.
