Aliwan Festival Photos 2008 - Photos before the rain

Aliwan Festival Photos 2008

I took most of my photos on film so that will have to wait till i get them processed.. but was able to take a few photos before the rain set in.. I used the horizon perfekt to get those wide angle shots.. I wish i had more time to shoot but the rain was nasty..

Am still awed at Lumad Basakanon winning 3 years in a row and to think the Aliwan Festival is only on its 6th year..

Lumad Basakanon in first place followed by Iloilo City’s Dinagyang Festival and Carmen, Cebu’s Sinulog Festival, which placed third.

Here are some photos of the aliwan festival before the rain.. more photos soon!

      hi anton

      for info lang — lumad basakanon’s sinulog only joined in 2006, and captured the championship ever since. previous to that the ilonggos won two years in a row 2004-2005 either through dinagyang or pintados de passi (on a one-two pitch both years) that’s why the rivalry has been so intense to the point that the evening news of gma7 saturday night featured a sort of “tribal war” among the contingents. sana naman huwag ganoon because it defeats the purpose of bringing together the entire archipelago to show the world how beautful all the nuances of filipino culture are.

      apart from closely looking at the criteria, the video footage will show who really has the most precisely timed moves. awesome, really

    2. Hi Stephanie

      The rivalry will always be there and that is what will drive them perform their best.

      The Tribal war is just media hype trying to make things more interesting to get people aware of the Aliwan Festival.

      If you watch the festivals around the islands, attendance to the Aliwan Festival is nothing compared to that of the Sinulog or Dinagyang Festival.In time, i think people will realize that the Aliwan is something worth watching.

    3. Beautiful shots!!

      And using film. That’s incredible.
