Congratulations to the winners! Now the question remains, will we be seeing Grupo Fuerte Baile during the Aliwan Fiesta 2010 in Manila this April? They have already been invited by the organizers as a guest performer but there have been reports that they may be joining this year’s Aliwan to represent the Paraw Regatta Festival under the Province of Guimaras (since Guimaras is also a co-organizer of the Paraw Regatta Festival).
See the performance of this year’s champion, Grupo Fuerte Baile:

Boy, this event must be next to Dinagyang, basing on color play and joviality! A bit more on the publicity and marketing side, in no time will it become as popular as Dinagyang nationwide. Dynamic shots, Marcos!
