It's the day when the main event of Dinagyang 2013 was held. About 10 contesting tribes vied for the coveted title of being the champion for the ati-atihan streetdance category. Just watching it on television amazed me. The choreography, costumes, props, and music were really meticulously done by all the tribes such as their creativity oozed so much to praise the Santo Nino.
After the contest, which I knew was watched by overflowing crowd, my family and I decided to go to the city. The energy, fun, and excitement were bursting so much in the streets of Iloilo. The malls were packed and the roads were like a maze because of the many people that went to and fro.
My cousin got his tribal henna tattoo on his forearm for 100 php.
We just capped the day off slurping sundaes in Jollibee then proceeded to Plazuela where a band was playing as people gathered in tables for some food and booze. The Dinagyang celebration has already been part of Iloilo's culture and every year, it's getting better and better.
