Text Any textual data included in the document ILOILO City – The hard work and dedication exerted by the warriors, dancers, props, artists, and the entire team of Tribu Pan-ay contributed to their triumphant performance to bag the Aliwan Fiesta 2024’s champion trophy. Elvert Bañares, Iloilo Festivals Foundation, Inc. (IFFI), artistic director, said some tribe members even have “panata” or devotion and prepare well before their performance on Saturday. “They came in very prepared and they did excellently. They worked hard to represent Iloilo as best as possible,” Bañares told Panay News. The concept of Tribu Pan-ay’s performances between the Dinagyang 2024 and Aliwan Fiesta remained the same, said Bañares. “It is a story of faith and devotion in a land called Pan-ay. Sir Tata Carado, our performers, our artists, and our team worked tirelessly to bring this concept to life,” said Bañares. Bañares, a renowned film director, producer, and multidisciplinary artist, said he witnessed how the tribe showed dedication, humility, and commitment during their preparation. “I always say this to the tribe as our guiding principle: There’s no victory in the absence of values and there’s never a defeat in the presence of readiness and dignity,” said Bañares. “This victory is for all Ilonggos and all Filipinos anywhere in the world. We hope that through the performances of our tribes, we can make you happy and proud. And that we deepen our spirituality, so we can be emotionally guided as we journey through life,” he added. Tribu Pan-ay of the Fort San Pedro National High School was adjudged the grand champion in the Dinagyang Tribes Competition at the 2024 Dinagyang Festival last Jan. 28. Tribu Pan-ay received P25 million worth of school projects for Fort San Pedro National High School and the P1-million cash prize and a trophy. With their enduring spirit and talent, Tribu Pan-ay emerged victorious again after claiming the championship trophy and the P1.5-million cash prize in the Aliwan Fiesta 2024: Parade of Champions held in Manila on Saturday night. They On the other hand, the Tultugan Festival of Maasin, Iloilo, placed second in the Aliwan Fiesta cultural street dance competition. The festival showcases the vibrant celebration featuring bamboo instruments, highlighting the rich cultural heritage of Maasin. Eric Divinagracia, IFFI artistic director, stressed the tribe’s performance showcased not just Panay Island’s discovery during the Spanish colonization, but their cultural heritage and sustained faith in Señor Santo Niño. “We showed our Dinagyang presentation, beautiful drum beats which matched the performance of our dancers and accompanied by various elements, sets, and props all in devotion to Señor Santo Niño,” Divinagracia told reporters after the awarding ceremony.

The governor stressed the success of Dinagyang and Tultugan festivals highlighting their significance as cultural landmarks that unite and inspire communities across Western Visayas. “We look forward to further elevating Iloilo’s cultural prominence and continuing to celebrate our heritage through festivals like Dinagyang and Tultugan,” Defensor added.

We are incredibly proud of our city’s Dinagyang Festival and the province of Iloilo’s Tultugan Festival. Through their outstanding performances, they have not only brought honor to our city and province, but have also strengthened the bonds that unite us as Ilonggos,” said Mayor Jerry Treñas. Dinagyang, an annual cultural and religious festival, showcases every January the historical and cultural heritage of Iloilo through elaborate dance routines, choreography, vibrant costumes, and powerful drumbeats.
