Four contingents coming from Iloilo?
I thought it’s only two from Dinagyang Festival, the Tribu Ilonganon of ATI category and Tribu Kahilwayan of Kasadyahan Contest. But I would like to see them all, they are all great and spectacular.
Hala Bira Iloilo!!!

Hi Josh,
Thanks for the info.
I tried to get the updated list from mbc but they said nothing is final until their march 2 meeting.. will post updates when they are finalized.. that is the list of contingents from last year.
During the awarding ceremony of Dinagyang Festival, the two winning tribes (Tribu Kahiilwayan winner of Kasadyahan Contest and Tribu Ilonganon winner of ATI contest) were invited by an official of the Manila Broadcasting Company, to officially represent the Dinagyang Festival in the Aliwan Fiesta 2007 slated on April 2007 in Manila.
Dinagyang is given privilege by the Aliwan Fiesta, as the only festival that will showcase two winning tribes.
Thanks Mark will update the post!
I hope that the “Paghidaet” tribe of iloilo would also be given the chance to perform at the aliwan 2007. If you could remember during dinagyang awards night, Pahidaet won most number of minor awards and if i may described how they performed, very explicitly entertaining!. but with do respect to other tribes they were also magnificent..
Ed, all of the Dinagyang Tribes are spectacular. Kahit aling Tribe ang ipapadala mo sa Aliwan Fiesta papasok pa rin sa Top 3.

The winning tribes in this year’s Dinagyang competition Tribu Ilonganon of Jalandoni Memorial National High School and Tribu Kahilwayan of the Sta. Barbara National Comprehensive High School are all set for the Aliwan Fiesta in Manila.
They are going to have a send off party this Friiday at Iloilo Freedom Grandstand. The street leading to the grandstand will be closed for the said send off party.
Iloilo will also field a giant float made of indigenous materials carrying a “big warrior†in full Dinagyang costume of the native Atis during Aliwan Fiesta.
Cara Jeanne Sullano will vie for the Reyna ng Aliwan Beauty Contest.
Dinagyang souvenir items, like Dagoy key chains, Ilonggo delicacies, T-shirts and others, will be exhibited for sale at the Aliwan Bazaar.

DASDAS HILONGOS!!!
Hi to All,
I am an Ilonggo and I am cheering for the Dinagyang contingent. Well there’s no lutong macao in the contest. Sinulog of Cebu city really deserves to be the champion. Talagang maganda pinakita nila. Sa entrance pa lng number one na agad..Maganda rin ang dinagyang nga lng may knting bagay lng na hindi na polish sa performance nila. May part kc na parang nagkakabuhol buhol sila pero over all maganda tlaga…Better luck next time Dinagyang…

hello! sayang “ang taga jaro” tribe nalang sana ang napadala sexy ang dating malinis ang performance. but dinagyang is still the best festival.. see you next year!!
first timer and a newbie for this competition…ALIKARAW HILONGOS.
congratulation for making it to top 3…dasdas hilongosnon.
For me, Dinagyang is still the best. Every year there are new innovations.
May pinapakitang bago palagi walang recycled.
it has been proven that the Sinulog Festival is the best festival in the Philippines and also in the whole Asia,sooner than later in the whole CONTINENTS….as far as ive known, Lumad Basakanon of Cebu City was the perrenial winner of the Sinulog Festival. They started winning as the Grand champion in 2004 & 2005 and received a lot of awards as the best in costume,2nd place in the streetdancing as well as the best in musicality award. In the short history of Aliwan they overruled among all the other contingents and declared as the GRAND CHAMPION for two straight years….
congrats to Sinulog Festival!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
next time make a new choreography and concept ha………
Nakalimutan nyo yata ang Region VIII ang Hilongos, Leyte sila ang ALIKARAW Festival
