Aliwan Fiesta 2009: Buyogan Festival Leyte

The Buyogan Festival of Abuyog, Leyte bagged the First Prize in 2009 Aliwan Fiesta Dance Competition. The dance ritual brings to life the story of two children who disturbed beehives while playing in the forest. One was stung badly and got very sick. His parents implored the Sto. Nino to heal the boy. In thanksgiving, the townsfolk then promised to respect all forms of life. Visit the Aliwan Fiesta sites: http://www.aliwanfiesta.com.ph; http://www.aliwanfiesta.com/

Buyogan Festival of Abuyog, Leyte romped off with this year's Festival Dance Championship in a highly exciting showdown with other contingents from all over the country. Tribu Kasag from Banate, Iloilo representing the Kasadyahan Festival, took home the second place trophy. Tribu Paghidaet of La Paz National HIgh School, delineating Iloilo's Dinagyang, settled for third place.

In the Float Design competition, Laoag; Ilocos Norte scored its second straight victory with an extremely well-crafted entry depicting the Abel Iloko, Woven and Worn. Cotabato's Lemba came in second, with Paghidaet's Dinagyang float emerging third.

Sian Elizabeth Maynard of Cebu's Sinulog was crowned this year's Festival Queen, with Romarie Ivy Cunanan of General Santos City garnering second place. Runner-up honors went to Kadayawan sa Davao's Aliah Heitz, Panagbenga's Parul Framil Shah, and Pamulinawen festival muse Kate Lao.
