- Villamonte failed to submit their entry forms in time.. only the top 22 groups shall be performing but they made it to the Electric Masskara and shall strut their stuff on the 19th at 8:00PM
- Barangay Alijis is not seeing action this year. Their is a change in administration with a new barangay captain and they have opted to skip this year.
- Barangay 23 is all set to wow the crowds since Villamonte and Barangay Alijis is not part of the Barangay competition.

”Sangyaw Festival” – means to herald news

According to the Tacloban government website, Among those who have committed to join the Festival Parade are Cebu City Mayor Tommy Osmeña, Talisay City (Cebu) Mayor Soc Fernandez, Lapu-lapu City Mayor Art Radaza, Bacolod City Mayor Bing Leonardia, Makati City Mayor Jojo Binay, Silay City Mayor Oti Montelibano, Isabela City (Basilan) Mayor Chery Acbar, Marikina City Mayor Marides Fernando, Navotas City Mayor Toby Tiangco and San Carlos City Mayor Bong Lacson.
Its a good time to fly to Tacloban, first reason is that you got to see 2 Festivals at once.. the Pintados Kasadyaan on June 27 and the Sangyaw Festival on June 29.. and hopefully both festivals will be a sight to see! The second reason is that Cebu Pacific is on sale again with their Zero Fares! you can get your trip as low as P3800++ depends on availability of the flights.
I was getting mixed up with their schedules and stumbled only two sites that pointed me in the right direction and made me decide to do some calls.. tacloban also seems to be confused since out of the 8-10 people i talked to, only 2 knew the schedules and both were not even sure about the events.. press release to follow regarding the Schedule of Activities for the Sangyaw Festival.
June 27 – Pintados – Kasadyaan Festival
