Iloilo Dinagyang Festival at Aliwan Fiesta 2023 [phone pics]
While we were all waiting for our turn for the Aliwan Fiesta parade, I had a wonderful time taking smartphone pics of our Iloilo Dinagyang Festival warriors and dancers. Kudos to them all for being Grand Champion of Aliwan Fiesta! We're very proud of them.

Dinagyang ILOmination 2023
To help promote the new Dinagyang ILOmination 2023, I volunteered to do an impromptu shoot and since I didn't bring my DSLR cam with me, I used my mobile phone instead. Eric's wonderful kids from the USA Little Theater helped me during the shoot. Thank you Iyka, Danielle and Lance! Cheers to you!

Iloilo Dinagyang 2020 Photoshoot (Alternates)
In 2020, I had the opportunity to photoshoot all eight tribes for the billboards I proposed to IFFI to help promote the festival and to boost our tribes. This was the first time in the history of any street festival that all tribes were represented in all creative collaterals complete with scheduled photoshoots. This album is dedicated to the "Alternate Images" of our memorable shoots - those I know I won't use as billboards but have shot anyway because I had the opportunity.
Dinagyang 2019
This year marks a total 360degree turn from my past #Dinagyang years. I used to be a guest commentator at Bombo Radyo for 12 years and now I am part of the working Commitees of the #IloiloDinagyang2020. Because of this I am unable to shoot the festival anymore so I look back at my images from last year (2019). I miss taking photos but I also am thankful for the opportunity to serve our beloved city and our community.

[Aliwan Fiesta 2012] Dinagyang Festival at Aliwan
April 14, 2012 - Tribu Pan-ay represented, for the second time, the Dinagyang Festival at the annual Aliwan Fiesta. As always Dinagyang is a crowd favorite for its uniqueness, dynamic performances and drums that make your heartbeat stop. The Ilonggo warriors are the best performers which is why Dinagyang won grand slam (having been champions for three straight years starting in 2010-2012). I Photos by Elvert Bañares
