January is fast approaching and three of the country’s biggest festivals are set to unfold! The highlights of Sinulog 2010 in Cebu is scheduled January 17. The Kalibo Ati-atihan 2010 is also scheduled on the same week. On january 24-25 Iloilo City will be hosting the annual Dinagyang 2010 Festival.
This year, Dinagyang Foundation has received registrations from 16 tribes. A far cry from the 20+ tribes during the 90’s. But despite fewer number of tribes, the quality of performances will always be topnotch.
This 2010, the participating tribes for the Dinagyang competition are: Himal-us, Silak, Ilonganon, Tribu Aninipay, Paghidaet, Molave, Panagat, Pag-asa, Angola, Bantu, Atub-Atub, Panaad, Pan-ay, Bola-Bola, Salognon and Milagrosa. The tribes competition is set on January 24, 2010.
I am seeing a tight competition between the defending champion, Tribu Paghidaet, last year’s first runner up Tribu Bola Bola, Tribu Ilonganon and Tribu Pan-ay who was formerly known as Tribu ni San Pedro.
Some insiders in Jalandoni National High School (Tribu Ilonganon) bared that the tribe’s original choreographer who gave them 2 championships, Rommel Flogen has moved to Tribu Pan-ay (San Pedro). Tribu Pan-ay’s former choreographer Edwin Duero is now handling the Tribu Ilonganon.
This happened, as sources said, when the principals of both schools were reshuffled a few months back. I have been hearing some negative feedbacks about Ilonganon’s routine for Dinagyang 2010 but I won’t comment on that matter until I have finally seen it.
I am hoping for a very exciting Dinagyang Ati-Ati performance during my birthday!
