Tacloban Leyte Sangyaw Festival 2008 list of winners

The newly-revived Sangyaw Festival of Tacloban City is fnally over and I’m now back here in Manila. The results are in, but I honestly doubt the scorecards. I am not sure if it’s just me or the other also noted something, too. This year’s Sangyaw Festival Champion is Tribu Kabatok of Tacloban City.

Trivu Kabatok, Tacloban City

I have seen the streetdance performance and the final performance of all the contingents and I can’t believe that Tribu Kabatok won the contest. I have never even imagined that Lumad Basakanon would lost in this Tacloban Fiesta.

I have seen Lumad Basakanon perform several times and I must admit that their costumes always look the same year after year. There are segments of their choreography that is being repeated year after year.

Lumad Basakanon, Cebu Sinulog Festival

Despite the fact that their costume looks the same and their choreography, recycled, as some woud say I sill liked their performance yesterday compared to the other groups. Lumad Basakanon’s performance yesterday was not even that solid compared to their routine last Aliwan Fiesta 2008. But that doesn’t mean they should not win. In fact I am very much familiar with the Basakanon signature routine but it still has the magic to keep me awed all the time.

BYAHILO just returned from the Tacloban Leyte Sangyaw Festival

Im back here in Manila! After the vert traumatic incident that prevented me from flying last Saturday, I was able to finally fly to the 32nd province in my list. The regional Capital of Eastern Visayas: Tacloban City.

Pintados Kasadyaan Sangyaw Festival 004

I have a detailed itinerary that should have been followed if not for that airport problem. And because I was not able to fly last Saturday, I was left with only 24 hours to stay in Tacloban. And all Sundat afternoon is blocked for the Sangyaw Festival. And because of the very very tight schedule, I was left with only two tourist spots to visit: The San Juanico Bridge and the Santo Niño Shrine.

Pintados Kasadyaan Sangyaw Festival 012

The Sangyaw Festival is successful. Tacloban’s main thoroughfares are lined with so many people eagerly awaiting for the dancers to parade theit colorful costumes.

It’s just so bad that I really dont have so much time to explore the other sites Leyte is known for, or even taste the Flavors of Waray.
