The inspiration of Tribu Ilahas’ performance is the Tinu-om, a famous local dish, based on local ingredients like tomatoes, onions, tanglad or Lemon Grass and most notably – native chicken. The performers mimic the movement of the chicken, blending it with theatrical and musical forms.

Tribu Ilahas of Cabatuan finished as the 2nd placer in this year’s Dinagyang Festival Kasadyahan competition.
