These are my best shots so far from Iloilo’s 2011 Dinagyang Festival. I just hope I can go back in Iloilo next year and take some more good photos of the much awaited event of Panay.
Tribu Bolabola of Iloilo National High School won the 2nd runner-up of Dinagyang 2011 Ati competition. The tribe represented Philippines to Chinggay Festival in Singapore in 1999 and 2000 and to the World Folklore Festival and World Expo in Portugal both in 1988. The tribe has 148 warriors and dancers and 50 drummers.
