Armie: Uy, ginamit pa naman ang Explore Iloilo para mag soul searching. Glad you had a great experience with Dinagyang Festival during the Aliwan Fiesta 2008. That’s actually the thrust, to promote Dinagyang nationwide. I have gathered the general sentiments of Ilonggos, and we are satisfied with the results. Tribu Paghidaet and Tribu Saad had represented Iloilo well and had made us proud because they had promoted Iloilo to the whole country to the extent that they were very much applauded and was the crowd favorite.

arianne: Hi Arianne! I watched Aliwan 2008 from Luneta in the afternoon and I again went to Star City in the evening. I literally followed the parade from end to end. I am an avid photography lover so I took a lot of pictures as much as I can. I really love the Sinulog and Dinagyang contingents in their elaborate costumes.

With all honesty, nagka-crush pa ako sa dalawang male dancers from Iloilo. I took their close up pictures in their very attractive costumes. If I were a judge, I would have made Dinagyang the champion. Ang ganda ng dance execution, perfect movement and very artistic choreography! With what I’ve seen, I promise to go to Iloilo on January 2009 just to watch the Dinagyang Festival. At siempre, I will try my luck if I can find the two guys who caught my attention. Sana matulungan mo ko ma-locate or ma-identify sila. Would you know dancers from the group? Help me naman find the two guys.

I can email their pictures to you if you want. What’s your email add?

Thanks and More Power to the Dinagyang Contigent!!!

thanks for joining aliwan it was a great show and a great face-off against CEBU’S LUMAD BASKANON apparently winning its 3RD CHAMPIONSHIP, making them a GRANDSLAM CHAMPION! It was a great fight though, but still CEBU’S SINULOG emerged VICTORIOUS alongside with MUNICIPALITY OF CARMEN CEBU, winning 3rd PLACE! hope to see you again next year!

sirius black: Hey serius, I was really impressed by the performance of Kasag the first time I saw it in Pintados de Passi. I really expected your tribe to win.
Sure, I’m interested in featuring Kasag Festival. Thank you for contacting me.
