Salakayan Festival 2010 Miag-ao Iloilo – Dance Competition
The highlight of the Salakayan Festival is the Tribal Dance competition. Six Participating tribes from different schools in Miag-ao will compete for Tribal Dance Championship. Will last year’s reigning champion Tribu Salagyawan maintain their winning streak for this year?
In case you’re wondering what Salakayan Dance is all about. The competing tribes depicts through dance how the local people in Miag-ao defends their town from Moro invasion. Visibly present are the Higantes procession. In the old times, the higantes were used to scare off the Moro pirates. It’s a week long festivities and grand celebration in Miag-ao.
Salakayan Festival Insight
This was my second time to witness the event. Despite, the scorching hot weather and tired feet, watching the colorful dances of the tribes makes it all worth it. Once again I find myself envious at the kids climbing up the tree to get a better view of the competition. All the six competing tribes wowed the audience with their dance dramas. We’ll certainly be looking forward to Salakayan Festival Champion to compete in next year’s Festival of Festivals.
I feel bad for not staying long enough for the Higantes performance. My feet just couldn’t handle the strain of standing any longer. Have to kick myself for not securing tickets in the first place. I had fun with the trip, I’ll be sure to be prepared in advance and not just do spur in the moment activity.
