Kasag Festival of Banate – After their performance, the announcer told the crowd that Kasag Festival will be Iloilo’s third entry to the 2008 Aliwan Festival. After further investigation, we were told that the group sent a letter to the Manila Broadcasting Company to propose their entry to the Aliwan Fest. We’re still confirming if the letter was indeed accepted by MBC.
