2009 Dinagyang Festival Winners

Just got back from the Dinagyang Festival, havent posted any photos because i still have to catch up with work… so photos will come later… in general, the festival went well not as much tribes this year because of budget constraints. 17 tribes down from the 25 tribes last year. I noticed that the gap between the good tribes and the mediocre ones are getting wider. 

I will be posting some not so good news on my next post about 2 newspapers and a goverment website using my photos without permission and credit.
