Starting Over Again...

 Its been a while...

Time came fast, days became weeks, weeks became months and months became years.. may last entry was I guess dated 2016 and after noon di na nasundan. Madami nag bago, madami nawala, madami nadagdag.. Change is something that we can't avoid. 

Today, Black Saturday, and last day of duty for the month of April 2022. I was clearing some bookmarks sa laptop ko, and I notice a link na dati panay visit ko. Na alala ko, moron pala akong Blogsite. I use to post here things na naiisip ko habang nasa Byahe papunta sa work or pauwi sinusuong ang matinding traffic sa Daang Hari. 

Bigla naisip ko na gumawa ng entry.. and here writing a brief update. or maybe a small start to revive this blog.. 

For now, hanggang Dito nalang muna.. but I guess I will make this a habit to write in this blog again..

DINAGYANG FESTIVAL 2016 (KASADYAHAN CONTEST)

My First Out of Town Travel this year...

Well my target for this year is to do some Philippine Festival photography..

Since I was born and raised in ILOILO, dapat mauna ang Dinagyang Festival sa mga pupuntahan ko...

Brief History

Dinagyang is Iloilo City’s version of the Ati-Atihan festival widely celebrated not only in Panay Island but also in other parts of the country. It may not be as ancient as the one in Kalibo in Aklan Province, but is definitely impressive in choreography and striking in terms of the various attires worn by participating tribes which reflect the ingenuity, craftsmanship and artistry of the Ilonggos.

An Ilonggo term for revelry or merrymaking, Dinagyang was coined in 1977 by Ilonggo writer/broadcaster Pacifico Sudario to describe the riotous celebration. Prior to this, Dinagyang was labeled “Iloilo Ati-Atihan” to differentiate it from other Ati-Atihan festivals.

Iloilo Ati-Atihan dates back to the year 1967 when a replica of the image of Señor Santo Niño was first brought from Cebu by the San Jose Parish in Iloilo City. The image, accompanied by devotees from Cebu, was enthusiastically received at the Mandurriao Airport by the people of Iloilo.

In 1969, the Ati-Atihan contest became a part of the cultural aspect of the celebration with only four tribes participating. Since then, the celebration has progressed into a more colorful and pompous affair that includes the participation of more tribes and groups.

In 1974, the Dinagyang Festival played a vital role in the “Operation Balikbayan” program of the then Ministry of Tourism when some of the tribes provided tourists with a unique form of cultural entertainment.

In 1976, street revelry and audience participation were encouraged. From mere spectators of the performances of various competing tribes, the 1976 festivities offered people their first chance to wildly gyrate in the streets, to shed off inhibitions and to forget the cares, pressures and vexations of everyday life.

In 1977, an authentic Ati tribe from the mountains of Barotac Viejo was invited by the Dinagyang organizers and by the Regional Association of National Government Executives to perform and display their native dances.

From 1978 to the present, the Dinagyang Festival has evolved into a big religious and cultural activity supported by both the government and the private sectors. It now features cultural presentations, sports competitions and various side events.

The Festival was likewise adjudged the country’s tourism event of the year by the Association of Tourism Officers of the Philippines for three consecutive years from 2006 to 2008.

Ang Pagbabalik...

Hey!

its been a while na muli ako nag post dito sa blog na to... Marami nag iba sa akin... Alam ko sasarili ko na yung ibang bagay na iniwan ko sa pask ko di ko na babalikan...

I guess ang pagbalik ko sa blog ay isang hudyat ng bagong buhay...

Buhay ng isang taong na nababalot ng hiwaga...

nah....

im still me... cut the drama dude!!!

its me...

same same... but improved!!!

Anyway.... bubuhayin natin ang blog na to... 

more of me.. my travel.. my photography and HIM... 

its all about HIM...

Glad to be Back!!!!

Tulong...

Ngaun lang nag sync in...

Ang sakit ng katawan ko ngaun... 

But Am happy...

Dahil nakatulong ako...

Kahapon, naka sked ako for my muay thai training...

But i canceled it to answer to my friend's hamon to participate sa pag help sa relief operation...

Pag dating dun sa DSWD... I see people helping without complains.. Basta lang makatulong sa abot ng makakaya nila... 

I was challenged kasi ung iba bata pa, iba may edade na rin.. Walang piling kasarian... Tulong tulong sa pag repack at pagbuhat...

Dapat sa food kami ng volunteers naka toka, pero I choose to help sa pag buhat ng sako sakong bigas... I was inspired of the people around me..

And nag paiwan ako until umaga...

One of the volunteer i meet dun was, Mia.. Medyo mataba sya na babae.. Pero habang nag rerepack kami napag alaman ko na nag simula sya ng alas singko pa ng hapon... Almost 12 hours na sya tumutulong dun... 

Nakaka inspire ung ginawa nyang sacrifice...

Napag isip ko... Tulad nya... Babae, di maskulada... Naka pag repack at nakapagbuhat kahit papano...  

Pano kaya ang mga taong banat sa gym... Buhat bakal ang ginawa sa buhay... Cguro kung sasama sila sa pagtulong.. Maraming silang matutulungan na tao... Lalo na sa panahon ngaun...

Galit tayo sa ginagawa ng mga politiko sa pag gamit ng di tama ng mga resources ng pilipinas, tulad ng pera o kaban ng bayan...

Papano naman ung atin resources...

Cguro this is a challenged... Para sa ating lahat... Gamitin natin ang ang ating resources sa tama.. Ang atin lakas...

 Let us stop the idea of 

"What my country/government can do to me?"

But rather change it to

"What can i do for my country/government?"

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! (Psalm 133:1 NIV)
