In my opinion, I am not excited in the awarding ceremonies of ALIWAN….matalo or manalo mabuti join parin ang ILOILO contingents…..so what kung hindi manalo? the important thing is..ILOILO contingents WOW!!!! the audience….and ALIWAN will give more exposure for the ILOILO FESTIVALS to be known in the whole country……
sa halip na kwestyunin nyo ang resulta ng mga nakaraang aliwan, bakit di nyo pag aralan kung ano ang missing factor nyo? like what i’ve said kulang kayu sa aliw or wow factors, at kapos kayu sa props. May kulang talaga kahit ako mismo nakukulanagan ako, energy nyo ay mataas pero yung tipong mapapasigaw kc sa may enexpect kang kakaiba o tipong maaliw o masusurprise ka yun ang wala kau. Ang sa inyo sayaw lang to max, na parang nakawala. kung sa dinagyang Festival for sure kayu ang champion kc more on energy at mahirap na dance movement ang labanan nyo. pero iba ang aliwan, they have diff. set of criteria for judging to be fear enough sa lahat ng contender kc hindi lahat ng festival sumasayaw ng mabilis like buyogan at sinulog.
@Ramle — isa ka bang judge sa aliwan? ano bang “wow” factor ang gusto mo? di ba pwede ding “wow” factor ang biglang mag hubo’t hubad sa gitna while performing di ba?…..kaya nga never iniba ng dinagyang ang kanilang energy sa sayaw at may iba2x silang pinapakitang bago sa ALIWAN kahit na hindi sila nanalo….yun na lamang ang pwede nilang ma i-palaki sa ALIWAN, ang pagiging unique nila sa lahat ng mga tribu sa aliwan……so para sa akin, the “only” important thing na maipakita ng dinagyang sa ALIWAN is being unique, they will never do any slow motion or wave2x pattern just to level themselves with the rest of the tribes including your sinulog and buyogan…
SORRY BUT WE DONT DO WAVE WAVE, FORWARD/BACKWARD AND SNAKE FORMATION GAYA SA SINULOG.
KAYA NGA UNIQUE DAHIL IBA KAMI. AND WERE GONNA PROVE IT NA HINDI LANG PROPS AT WAVE WAVE PATTERN ANG KAKAILANGANIN TO WIN SA ALIWAN.
SPEAKING OF WOW, LUMAD THE HALL OF FAMER IS NOT A WOWER. OPINION KO LANG YAN HA. MAS WOWER PA RIN ANG DINAGYANG AT IBANG FESTIVAL NA GALING ILOILO.
If dinagyang does what you THINK is a “wow” factor …..then it will no longer be “dinagyang”…….
sorry Kairyland….im not saying ILOILO’s dinagyang is the best….all of the festivals are the best in the philippines they are being unique in their own way…what bothers me is the “WOW” factor that Ramle is looking for……maybe he could teach the choreographers in dinagyang the correct way of “WOWING” the people…….
kung sa tingin ang pag hubo’t hubad ay wow factor,nasa sayo na yan. lahat ng tribe ay unique on thier own different way, it’s not neccesary na bagalan ang dance movement or baguhin to have wow factor or suprises. ibig kung sabihin yung tipong magugulat or mapapawow ang audience. tulad ng sinsasabi ko hanga ako sa energy at dance movement nyo mahirap pero ganun nalang hanggang matapos. look buyogan every dance formation may surprises kaya talagang magugulat ka at mapapawow ka talaga. opinion ko lang to wag mong masamain.
You just have so many suggestions ramle…there are also opinions that are right and some do not make any sense…in your case your opinion of a “WOW” factor that you said is missing in the dinagyang’s performance really bothers me….Dinagyang’s performance might not made you “WOW” but there are so many people who enjoyed their performance…..their choreo and dance routines are hard to do…there are a lot of brainstorming just to do those routines…..those are the products of their creative minds then its easy for you to say that they should think of ways just to satisfy your standard?…..and who needs your opinion by the way?….did the people here asks for your opinion for the best of their festivals…the way you impose your opinion is somehow not for the benefit of the doubt…..DINAGYANG DOES NOT NEED TO EMPRESS ALL OF THE VIEWERS OF ALIWAN that includes YOU. DINAGYANG JUST WANT TO SHOWCASE THEIR UNIQUENESS, COMPLEXITY and CREATIVITY OF THEIR DANCE ROUTINES…..

* IMPRESS not EMPRESS…hehehe
aliwan is a competition not a presentation, if you don’t know how to innovate you will never exist. sorry ka sabi ng source ko may pag dinagdag na ang dinagyang lalo na sa props, so alam nila na kapus sila sa props gaya ng nakikita ko.at kahit taga iloilo mismo aminadong doon sila na dihado sa props at wow factor last year, kaya ginawan na nila ng paraan ngayun. Sana sila na ang mag champion,And tom dapat open minded ko sa lahat ng bagay, be careful sa mga words na ginagamit mo lahat ng tao may karapatang ipahayag ang kanilang opinyun dapat igalang mo yun. at besides hindi ikaw ang kausap ko sa kairyland sumabat ka lang naman. salamat
BASTA GUYZ JUST WATCH OUT FOR “GRUPO FUERTE BAILE” OF ILOILO PARAW REGATTA FESTIVAL. THIS GROUP IS SUPER!!!! IBANG-IBA ANG DATING. SA 3 CONTINGENTS NG ILOILO ITO ANG PINAKABAGO AT PINAKA BATA PERO I TELL YOU IT WILL LEAP A THOUSAND STEPS AHEAD!!!
ang liit naman ng sumali sa aliwan ngayon..sayang talaga busy si mayor for election…kasi parang medyo suspense ata pag sumali ang HIMAG-ULAW… Goodluck nalang sa lahat ng mga sumasali..sana makasali na kami next year sa aliwan….
an excerpt from ramle ” aliwan is a competition not a presentation, if you don’t know how to innovate you will never exist. ” —- …yes, its you own opinion but a lot of people can see your opinion here, you had so many suggestions about dinagyang and why is it on the first place you are saying these sort of suggestions only for dinagyang? CHOREOGRAPHERS in dinagyang are not stupid…..they have even more creative minds than yours……even if DINAGYANG gave their best effort if the judges in ALIWAN with a mindsite like you do not like it then it doesnt matter the important thing is a lot of people enjoyed it, they showcase the true ilonggo culture, the uniqueness and creativity…..DINAGYANG had proven a lot even outside of our country…..they are the pioneers of “innovation” if that is what you are looking for….I am aware that DINAGYANG cannot please everyone that includes you, but that wont bring DINAGYANG FESTIVAL down,…and by the way, my suggestion to you do not choose the words before you type something….just THINK first…ok?
iloilo simply the best
Kung WOW factor malang ang pag uusapan…. try to watvh Aliwan 2008 At sa last performance nga Tribu Paghidaet Dinagyang Festival…. mga host na mismo ang nagsabing
WOW WOW ILOILO Dinagyang Festival….. My kasama pang
MABUHAY….
Di paba sapat yon?,,,,
Watch out nalang sa Aliwan 2010…. PUnta ako don ^_^
at para sa akin Dinagyang Festival is the best…. the only festival na Hindi na tanggal sa Top 3…. since 2003…. bakit kaya? kasi nga unique…. pero kung props ang hinahanap mo mr ramie….
oo last 2009 Buyogan naman talaga ang mananalo kung props ang pag oosapan
pero diba ang them ng ALIWAN
I sayaw I Indak AT I galaw?
san ang props don? pro hayaan mona yon past is past
tyak ma eenjoy mo ang pinaka bagong Dinagyang sa Aliwan 2010….
kung wow factor ang hahanapin mo ito na ang pagkakataon na makikita mo ang kumbinasyon ng dance at props…. watch out ^_^
God Bless Dinagyang and Aliwan 2010 ^_^
Thanks renjtv for that information. oh tom anong masasabi mo sa sinabi ni renjtv na ito na ang pinakabagong dinagyang na may kumbinasyun ng wow factor at spacticular props? Don’t tell me again na kung may wow factor ang dinagyang they are no longer be dinagyang? Dinagyang choreographer is not stupid, they will make any ways to para mas mapaganda pa lalo ang kanilang festival hindi sila katulad ng pag iisip mo na sarado ang pag iisip. I am excited now to watch aliwan.
ako ang sirado ang pag-iisip? mas mabuti nalang yan kaysa sayo na marami ang iniisip pero wala namang maitulong na mabuti sa mga tribes specially dinagyang, you said earlier na hindi lamang madadala sa sayaw na parang nakawala?….ganun bah sa tingin mo yun? parang nakawala? plz THINK first before you type something ok? Mahina siguro ang utak mo kaya hindi mo ma analyze kung ano ang nais paihawatig ng sayaw ng dinagyang kaya nasabi mo na parang nakawala….dont get me wrong but the only reason why i comment here is that you are not THINKING before you type something…PUro props from the start and the beginning ang point of view mo dito para sa “WOW” factor na hinahanap mo…..DInagyang will never be good if people who are watching it are people like you…..
from ur comment rample here is a sample : ” May kulang talaga kahit ako mismo nakukulanagan ako, energy nyo ay mataas pero yung tipong mapapasigaw kc sa may enexpect kang kakaiba o tipong maaliw o masusurprise ka yun ang wala kau. Ang sa inyo sayaw lang to max, na parang nakawala. kung sa dinagyang Festival for sure kayu ang champion kc more on energy at mahirap na dance movement ang labanan nyo”……
now my opinion: If some of the spectators in dinagyang or the judges are dinagyang are the same mindset as yours……then dinagyang will be never be that good…..if you seeking for a “wow” factor in depends on you if what kind of “wow” factor you are referring to…cant you just put up a tribe ang show us all the “wow” factor that is missing with dinagyang…GOODLUCK

if you keep on imposing your point of view…then go!, the site is open for your “useful” opinion but i would just like to tell you that “THINK” first before you type..use your brain effectively…ok?
wag na kayong mag away….
kung wow ang hinahanap mo try to watch aliwan 2008…. at pakinggan mo ang sigawan ng mga tao at ang last words ng mga host sa Dinagyang….
Ito ang sabi nila ohhhh
WOW WOW….. Iloilo Dinagyang Festival…. MABUHAY….
so ano ang masasabi mo don? at pakinggan mo ang crowd ng mga tao nang nag simola ang performance ng Dinagyang compare sa Sinulog….
Sabi ko po combination ng Dance and Props ^_^ pangit kasi pag puro props lng walang spirit ng Aliwan yon cuz. Aliwan them i sayaw i indak at i galaw ^_^
Hmmmm.. Im hoping na maka place yung Pasaka , tanauan leyte , like alikaraw buyogan and karatong festival…..
hay naku tom tama na nga. wag na tayung mag talo pa. Suportahan nalang natin ang lahat ng festival ng pilipinas. Gudluck sayo.
PAghidaet sa inyo tanan….
ok….lets support all the festivals in the PHILIPPINES…they are all unique and they represent each of the cultures of the different regions/dialects and ethnicity of our country, but still over-all we are all filipinos, we should be proud of it and tell the whole world we have so much to offer…..but still im watching you RAMLE, one wrong move in any of your comments then perhaps im just here to defend any injustices…..
ok lets support all the festivals in the Philippines, Each festival represents it’s own culture, uniqueness and ethnicity, truly it simply shows that Philippines has a lot to offer to the whole world……but still im am watching you RAMLE any wrong move in your comments and I am just here to defend any injustices….thank you.
