Dayon kamo sa Dinagyang, mga palangga!



"Hala bira! Hala bira! Hala bira!..."


I am so proud of my culture and heritage as a grandson of Datu Marikudo and some of the ten datus of Borneo who came ashore.

From them the unique Hiligaynon culture and heritage as one class of Visayans has been entrenched.  That has been carried on until today.  Thanks a lot to the great sense and passion of the Ilonggo leaders for making it a tradition to stage the yearly "Dinagyang" to continue to carry the torch alive till eternity.

Held every January, it is perhaps the biggest festival in the country.


That is one reason I proudly proclaim to the whole world: "ILONGGO KO YA!"

We in the Ilonggo breed are proud as such and as one of the proudest groups of Filipinos uniting with all others in the archipelago.

Wow!

"Hala bira! Hala bira! Hala bira!..."
