Aliwan Fiesta 2011: Dinagyang ended up as the best festival in the country.



For those people who have not been updated about national tourism events and festivals competitions, Iloilo Dinagyang contingents took the major prices during the "Aliwan Fiesta 2010". Remembering last year competition results were favorable to Dinagyang Festival as they had been declared as the Aliwan Fiesta 2010 champion and Tribu Kasag of Banate, Iloilo took the third place subsequently.

This year, Iloilo Dinagyang has dominated Aliwan Fiesta 2011 once more as Tribu Pan-ay has recently been declared as Aliwan Fiesta 2011 Street dance champion and another contingent from Iloilo Dinagyang Kasadyahan winner - Tribu Pantat of Zarraga, Iloilo got the second place.

This year's performances of Tribu Pan-ay and Tribu Kasag in Aliwan stood out to be the most well choreographed and most impressive amongst all festival contingents in the country. As i watched the quick, continuous and stamina challenging dance routines along with the synchronicity of music and props, I felt goosebumps watching the performances of Dinagyang tribes.

I think there were several factors why Dinagyang festival had impact on the audience and judges. The festival clearly executes energetic, festive dance moves. The music played an important role in engaging people which Dinagyang is known for(great drum beats) . It catches attention along with beautiful handmade arts and crafts that were being displayed and I think people just love watching colorful and grand production perrformances with loud melodious sound of the drums. These are the things Dinagyang excel at. Another honor has been brought to Iloilo City. I can't wait for more Dinagyang Festival scenes soon.


Viva Senior Sto. Nino!!
