We celebrate Dinagyang every third week of January. When I was staying in Iloilo I always make sure that I could watch and do the merry making after the competition. I can say that I miss this Festival.
Dinagyang is An Ilonggo term for revelry or merrymaking.

Hey! I am from fuelmyblog.com, you left a comment on my blog saying you liked it so I wanted to return the favor and check yours out! This Festival sounds really cool, I live in America but I'm always fascinated by other cultures and I hope to travel to lots of places someday :)
