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.

2009 Sinulog Festival Schedule – What to do in the Sinulog Festival!

The January Festivals are fast approaching. Sinulog, Ati-atihan and the Dinagyang Festival

Are you planning a trip to the Cebu Sinulog Festival? Here is your guide to whats happening for the festival week in cebu. I have a feeling that This Particular Sinulog Festival will be a grand one, just because of the recently concluded Pasigarbo sa Sugbo Festival, the Sinulog will have to show how a real festival is held and that it is still the best festival in cebu to reckon with.
