it's a nationwide competition... Pampanga joined the Sinulog 2-3 yrs already and also Parañaque City and other provinces in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
There will be about 50 to 70 contingents, 20 to 30 floats, 30 to 40 giants puppeteers and others.

Battle of the Festivals in Manila

Sparks are set to fly at this year’s “Aliwan Fiesta” as once again, the Philippines’ grandest, loudest, and most colorful festivals come together to compete in the national championship of festivals on April 27-29.

"Aliwan Fiesta 2006" is shaping up to bring excitement to a whole new level this year. For the very first time, the Sinulog Festival of Cebu joins the ranks of dance contingents gearing up to unseat the three-time champion contingent, Iloilo’s Dinagyang Festival.

Will the newcomers, the Cebuanos of the Sinulog Festival triumph and finally break the winning streak of the long-running champions, Ilonggos of the Dinagyang Festival? Or will the Ilonggos go on to win four-peat? Which festival will reign supreme? Only one thing is for certain: the heat of the competition brought about by this much-anticipated rivalry makes this year’s "Aliwan Fiesta" worth watching.

Not only will the Sinulog and Dinagyang Festivals face off for the much-coveted R1M plum prize; the grand prize winner of this year’s festival also claims the honor of being named as the ultimate Philippine festival.

The Manila Broadcasting Company (MBC), together with the cities of Manila and Pasay and the Cultural Center of the Philippines, sets the stage for another sure-fire crowd-drawer as "Aliwan Fiesta" returns on its fourth year as the grandest national championship of all festivals.

"Aliwan Fiesta 2006" is set to bring together a record number of 30 dance contingents from all over the country, the biggest number of participants in its fourth year run.

The festival is highlighted by spirited street dancing native to the participating regions, exhibiting the richness and diversity of Philippine culture and tradition.

Thousands of the country’s finest craftsmen, street performers, and amateur models will gather to compete in Dance Parade Competition, Float Competition, and Reyna ng Aliwan beauty pageant.

Holding the reputation for giving the biggest cash prizes ever, "Aliwan Fiesta" pushes the limits by giving nearly R3 million this year.

The grand prize winner will get R1 million; with second and third runners up to win R500,000 and R250,000 respectively. The top 10 finalists will each get R50,000.

The fiesta will bring together the country’s most popular fiestas such as Pedrista Festival (Quezon City) Marikina Festival, and Pakalog Festival (Pasig) of NCR; Panagbenga Festival (Baguio City) representing CAR; Region I’s Pamulinawen Festival (Laoag City) and Agdamdamili Festival (San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte); Region II’s Sabutan Festival (Palanan, Isabela), Pinilisa Festival (Jones, Isabela) and Sambali Cagayana Festival (Baggao, Cagayan);

Region III’s Halamanan Festival (Guiguinto, Bulacan) Sto. Niño Festival (Malolos, Bulacan), Angel Festival (San Rafael, Bulacan); Region IV’s Sumakah Festival (Antipolo City) and Boling-Boling Festival (Catanauan, Quezon); Region V’s HimagUlaw Festival (Placer, Masbate) and Pili Festival (Sorsogon City); Region VI’s Dinagyang Festival (Iloilo City), Tultugan Festival (Maasin, Iloilo), Kahilyawan Festival (Santa Barbara, Iloilo), Pintados de Pasi Festival (Passi City, Iloilo) and Babaylan Festival (Bago City, Negros Occidental); Region VII’s Sinulog Festival (Cebu City); Region IX’s Hermosa Festival (Zamboanga City) and Pasalamat Festival (Pagadian City, Zamboanga del Sur); Region X’s Diyandi Festival (Iligan City); Region XII’s Halad Festival (Pigcawayan, North Cotabato), and Kalilangan Festival (General Santos City); and ARMM’s Padang-Padang Festival, (Parang, Maguindanao), Meguyaya Festival (Maguindanao), and Kambulang Festival (Parang, Maguindanao).

One-stop RP festivals hub for tourists

ALIWAN Fiesta ’06, dubbed by organizers as a “cultural extravaganza,” brings to one venue the festivals of the regions of the country, making it possible for local and foreign tourists to watch and appreciate ethnic and cultural presentations without having to leave Manila.

The grand fiesta, which reels off April 27 to 29, gathers more than 4,500 of the country’s most talented artists, artisans, street dancers and muses to compete in various contests pitting cultures, traditions and beauties.

Organizers said the Aliwan Fiesta presents the perfect opportunity to experience first hand and taste what the fiestas are like outside of Metro Manila.

Organized by the Manila Broadcasting Co. (MBC), in partnership with the cities of Manila and Pasay and the Cultural Center of the Philippines, Aliwan Fiesta gathers the brightest, biggest and most colorful festivities in the unprecedented grandest fiesta in Philippine history.

The holding of the grand festival is made possible through the cooperation of San Miguel Pale Pilsen, Zesto One Tea, PLDT Budget Card, PLDT Super Bilis Kabit, Alaxan, Kremil-S and Rejoice Suncare Shampoo. Sponsors include Negros Navigation, Sulpicio Lines, Nokia and Western Union.

The highlight of the event will be a parade on Roxas Boulevard, to start at the Quirino Grandstand passing Rajah Sulayman Plaza and finally ending in front of the Aliw Theater at the Star City, CCP Complex.

Highlights of the Aliwan Fiesta are:

Baguio City’s Panagbenga Festival numbers are among the entries at Aliwan Fiesta, show-casing a multitude of colorful flowers that compliment the freshness of pine breeze that characterize the summer capital of the Philippines;

The Damili Festival of San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte features the agdamdamili dance, which honors the town’s ancient tradition of pottery dating back to the pre-Hispanic period; and The Pinilisa Festival of Jones, Isabela introduces the simple life in their fertile land rich in pinilisa (mountain rice) crops.
