Real Leaf Supports Dinagyang Tribes
Dinagyang Festival in the province of Iloilo was being celebrated every 4th Sunday of January in honor of the Sto. Nino. It was also hailed by the Philippine Department of Tourism as the best tourism event for the years 2006-2008, thus making it a hall of famer.
This year’s Dinagyang (2010) was my first experience of the festival. I was born in the neighboring province of Iloilo but had missed the chance to witness or rather join the festival in its previous celebrations. Together with 3 other colleagues from work, we booked our flight and our accommodation as early as October of 2009. We booked early as advised by friends who are from Iloilo.
The Dinagyang parade was so enjoyable, the tribes are so admirable, despite the heat and the crowd, we can see that they are happy as they perform. The tribes’ grandest costumes and props are indeed amazing.
Good thing for us that despite the heat of the sun we have a refreshing drink with us…
And huh..!?! Real Leaf Green Tea supports Dinagyang Festival, what a very good cause to support our Country’s tourism.
And here, caught in the middle of the parade…thirst quencher!
And here is DAGOY, the Festival’s official mascot, he’s so cute!
