ILOILO — Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. threw his support behind the Iloilo Festivals Foundation Inc.’s (IFFI) plan to bring back both the Ati tribes competition and the Kasadyahan sa Kabanwahanan to the Iloilo City Proper for Dinagyang Festival 2027, saying the provincial government has “no issue” with the reset and will continue to back decisions made by festival organizers and the city government.
ILOILO City — Due to space constraints, the La Paz district performance site along Huervana-Luna streets has been officially designated as a non-judging area for the Kasadyahan sa Kabanwahanan competition of Dinagyang Festival 2026 on Saturday, January 24, effectively reducing the number of judging venues to two.
