Aliwan Fiesta 2009: Paraw Regatta Festival Iloilo

The Paraw Regatta festival dance and float performance is 2009 Aliwan Fiesta guest entry. At the annual boat race among native outriggers separating the island of Panay from Guimaras, townsfolk recreate the design of the Paraw or sailboat that supposedly carried the first Bornean settlers to Panay. Remember the legend of the Maragtas? Ten datus supposedly fled the dictatorial rule of Sultan Makatunaw and settled in Panay after bargaining with the Aeta leader Marikudo. For centuries, the paraw has become the essential part of the Ilonggo way of life, and the Iloilo Strait becomes a sea of colors whenever they hold the Paraw Regatta.
