Dinagyang Festival 2012 List Of Winners

        For the second time, Tribu Pan-ay of Fort San Pedro National High School defended their title and once again emerged as the over-all champion of the world famous Dinagyang Festival 2012 on a joyous, festive celebration marked by a sudden conflagration that gutted down more than a hundred houses and lasted for several hours.
       Aside from the top prize, Tribu Pan-ay also collected several special awards from opening salvo to the main competition awards like Music, Performance, Choreography. 1st runner-up went to Tribu Lunok of Iloilo City National High School, 2nd runner-up went to Tribu Ilonganon of Jalandoni Memorial National High School, 3rd runner-up went to Tribu Paghidaet of Lapaz National High School and 4th runner-up went to Tribu Atub-atub of Brgy. Veterans Village.
       Dinagyang Festival competition which was started in 1970 is the only Philippine festival that has an official mascot named Dagoy and goes on a world tour in promoting not just the festival but also the Philippines as a tourist destination. Last year 2011, the winning tribe, Tribu Pan-ay went on to perform in New York City and other neighboring U.S. cities for the Philippine Independence Day event sponsored by the Filipino community there.
