DINAGYANG 2016 WINNERS AND OFFICIAL RESULTS

Dinagyang 2016 Champion Tribu Salognon Winning Performance

         In a surprising twist, Tribu Salognon of Jaro National High School snatched the title of the defending champion winning the Dinagyang title for the first time since their first participation in 2004 ending the three year domination of the defending champion Tribu Panayanon of Iloilo City National High School who was shockingly shot out of the Top 5 places due to the 20 point deduction-rule stipulated by the Dinagyang Foundation Inc. agreed by different tribes on props, risers and platform heights which will not exceed six (6) feet and fourteen (14) feet in depth.
        Aside from the top prize, Tribu Salognon also collected some special awards from opening salvo to the main competition awards like Performance, Choreography and Costume. 1st runner-up went to Tribu Ilonganon of Jalandoni Memorial National High School, 2nd runner-up went to Tribu Pan-ay of Fort San Pedro National High School, 3rd runner-up went to Tribu Paghidaet of Lapaz National High School and 4th runner-up went to Tribu Baybayanon of Melchor L. Nava National High School, Calumpang, Molo District, Iloilo City.

       Dinagyang Festival competition which was started in 1970 is the only Philippine festival that has an official mascot named Dagoy and the winning tribe goes on a world tour in promoting not just the festival but also the Philippines as a tourist destination.

FACTS ABOUT THE FEAST OF BLACK NAZARENE

Today, January 9 is the Feast of Black Nazarene. The annual event see millions of pious devotees expected to flock the procession of the image from the beginning and within the route of the procession. The veneration of the people to the Black Nazarene is such that a massive crowd of passionate devotees around the image slows down the procession to Quiapo Church which usually last for 18 - 24 hours. The Black Nazarene is said to be miraculous and a countless number of miracles to the people from sicknesses being healed to success in life to regaining a relationship that was lost and even complete transformation of the people is attributed to praying and unwavering faith to the Nazarene or the Christ passionately carrying the cross. On his feast day the people believes that by just grappling and gripping the cord which carry the carriage of the image or struggling to get close to the statue just to wipe its face, cross or any parts of the statue and kiss it will answer all their prayers which testified to be true by a lot of its devotees and followers. I am also fervently praying to the Black Nazarene that it will grant my prayers and also by spreading the devotion to the Black Nazarene through any means including this article feature in this blog will grant me something that I have been praying for quite sometime.

Anyway to tell more about the Black Nazarene, here are some of the trivia about the deeply revered Christ:


1. It is called El Nazareno Negro, Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno in Spanish while it is called Poong Itim Na Nazareno or Señor Nazareno in Filipino.

2. The statue derives its name from "Nazarene", which is a title of Christ identifying him as being of Nazareth in Galilee.

3. Traslacion (Spanish word for passage or movement) commemorates the 1787 solemn transfer of the image to its minor basilica in Quiapo from its original location in what is now Rizal Park.

4. The image was created by an anonymous Mexican sculptor and was brought to Manila from Acapulco, Mexico through the galleon trade on May 31, 1606. It was widely believed that during its voyage the ship carrying the image caught fire and charred the statue thus its present day color.

5. Monsignor Sabino A. Vengco, Jr. from Loyola School of Theology however validated that the statue is not charred but actually really dark to its core due to the mesquite wood used to carve out the image which actually is a popular medium in the period the statue was carved.

6. Pope Innocent X approved veneration of the statue in 1650 as a sacramental, and authorised the establishment of the Confraternity of the Most Holy Jesus Nazarene.

7. Pope Pius VII gave the statue his Apostolic Blessing in 1880, which granted plenary indulgence to those who piously pray before it.

8. St. John Paul II recognized the church as the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene because of its role in strengthening a deep popular devotion to Jesus Christ and because of its cultural contribution to the religiosity of the Filipino people.

9. Devotees walk and follow the procession in barefoot as a symbol of humility.

10. The traslacion procession attracted millions of faithfuls annually and increasing in number every year.

Iloilo Ang Banwa Ko

This is Iloilo province most popular folk song which is already anthemic to the people of the place. Written in Hiligaynon, the song evokes a sense of pride, loyalty and patriotism to the land where we born and grow up. Included here is the lyrics of the song in Hiligaynon with its English translation.

Iloilo Ang Banwa Ko Song featuring all the towns, festival, events and happenings in Iloilo 

Iloilo Ang Banwa Ko Reggae Version 

Iloilo Ang Banwa Ko performed by the University of the Philippines Madrigal Singers with the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra



ILOILO ANG BANWA KO


Iloilo ang banwa ko guinahingadlan
Matam-is nga pulong ang amon guinmat-an
Indi ko ikaw bulagan
Banwa kong nahamut-an
Ikaw ang guintunaan sang kalipayan

Ilonggo ako nga tunay
Nga nagapuyo sa higad sang baybay
Manami magkiay-kiay
Sa tagipusuon
Bug-os ang kalipay



ENGLISH TRANSLATION


My beloved hometown Iloilo
Sweet words which we grew up with
I will not leave you my dear hometown
You are the source of joy and happiness

I'm a true Ilonggo
That lives by the coast
Beautifully swaying hips
In my heart full of joy

WVRAA Literary - Musical Contest Guidelines And Criteria For Judging

Literary Musical Contest has been a part of and the most anticipated event of the Western Visayas Regional Athletic Association (WVRAA) Meet since the early 1990s until 2014 when it was abolished in the meet due to the additional expenses incurred when the winners in the regional competition does not go on to represent Western Visayas region in the Palarong Pambansa (National Games) because no such event exists in the national level unlike the sporting events. It was added in the meet as part of the academic activities of the students practicing what they learn in their academic subjects enhancing or harnessing further their hidden talents and potentials.
