change my family name to DEE
ahehe
Changed na. Thanks guid eric for sharing your photos. I was late, as you know, so I haven’t taken pictures of Ang Taga Jaro during the Dinagyang Ati and Tribu Kasag during the Kasadyahan.
I was rooting for Ilonganon to win because I was impressed on the innovations they bring to Dinagyang. I was a bit surprised they did not win. Nevertheless, Paghidaet did an excellent performance! Congratulations to all the winners!
Congrats marcos, i was quite happy for you when i heard your site being acknowledged as one of the media sponsors. Anyway, can I borrow some of your photos for my blog? Will give you credit and link of course.
I can’t decide between Paghida-et and Ilonganon. Both deserves to win. I think Tribu Bola-Bola has brought Dinagyang to a different level when they joined. I remember looking forward to every Dinagyang from then on. It’s a pity they no longer join. It’s good that every Dinagyang is better than the last. Congrats to the winners, the organizers, and to all Ilonggos.
Thanks Gladita, I didn’t know of it until a friend told me. It came so unexpected.
Of course you can borrow the pictures, provided the watermark and credits are not cropped out.
I’m an alumni of INHS and and I would also want to watch Bola-bola during the Dinagyang in the years ahead, they made such a great impact to the festivity.
marc, preho ta kuno gina mention sa Freedom grandstand as media partners. aahahah
Oo nga. Congrats to both of us :D
I wasn’t able to watch the Ati competition but the pictures’ awesome i can feel the spirit of Dinagyang. Congrats to the winners! Hope they could make it to the Aliwan Festival!
