Iloilo Dinagyag Festival 2009 "On Higher Ground"
The short period of preparations that was given the Iloilo Dinagyang Foundation, Inc (IDFI) to make the necessary planning for the staging of the Dinagyang 2009 will not discourage them from coming up with a fun-filled celebration.
The city government and the IDFI signed the memorandum of agreement for the latter to handle the event only two weeks ago.
DFI vice president and operations officer Salvador Andrada said the celebration slated last week of January next year will have for its battlecry, “Fun, Food, Fellowship and Faith.”
Andrada said that aside from the commitment coming from other sectors running the activity, what is important is the continued support of various tribes joining the celebration.
“Dinagyang is a celebration of faith and not just about fun. It’s much more than money. I think they have commitment. I think this is basically their expression of faith and they would continue to do their level best so that in 2009 the celebration will really be fun-filled,” he said.
Iloilo City Tourism Officer Benito Jimena said “there are people who would like to see the celebration be worthy of being called the best tourism event.”
Jimena said there are several innovations that the foundation has decided to introduce next year.
These include among others the food festival with folk flavor to complement the foodfest of the Iloilo Hotels, Restaurants and Resorts Association (IHRA); staging of the Little Miss Dinagyang and holding of the Fluvial Procession in the morning of January 23 instead of the usual afternoon schedule.
The festival will be officially launched on Dec 1 in Iloilo City while a national launching held on Dec 12 at the Mall of Asia in Manila.
Jimena is inviting Ilonggos in Manila to join in promoting the festival as they will be bringing one tribe for a parade performance at the mall.
The members of the Photographic Society of Iloilo will also hold an exhibit at the MOA simultaneous with the national launching activity.

Charice Pempengco duet with Celine Dion
Here are videos of Charice Pempengco sings "Because You Loved Me" with Celine Dion in Madison Square Garden on Sept 15.
This is what exactly Celine told Charice before she called her to come up on stage...
"They actually told me about an incredible young singer that she [Oprah Winfrey] discovered awhile back. You know, if you watch Oprah last week, you know all about her. This young lady's name is Charice. I'm so excited. She's 16 years old and she's from the Philippines.
"Let me tell you, she has a voice that can literally blow the roof of Madison Square Garden and she just might. But the real story is how Charice and her mom escaped the terrifying experience and had to leave Charice's violent father.
"You know, to start a life of their own. Charice vowed to save her mom from a life of desperation and despair. You know, through prayers and dreams and God-given talent, an incredible voice, Charice entered every singing contest in her native country and was eventually noticed by such influential people.
"You know, a show in Oprah and Oprah wanted to take her and took her under her wings. Then, David Foster joined her. I had the chance to see Charice perform one of my songs on Oprah last week. I have a little bit of difficulty to talk right now because I met Charice, and I'm so emotional... So I'm searching and looking for my words...trying to control my emotion.
"I invited her to come here tonight to sing with me. Where are you, sweetheart? There she is, come down, Sweetie."
And when Charice was already on stage...
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Charice. [To Charice] You look spectacular! Are you shaking? Are you okay? Don't be nervous and, I think, a lot of people, they understand that you are nervous.
"I'm gonna tell you one thing, the talent we're not gonna talk about. Because you have the strength, we're not gonna talk about (it) because you have (it), and so the love. And I have to tell you, the family, we'll gonna talk because you have to.
"One time, my manager, my husband [Rene Angelil], told me, ‘Celine...' Because when I started to sing, I was 12 years old, so 12 and 16, it's the same, okay? He told me, ‘Celine, I know you're nervous, don't be scared. You love to sing. When you go up there, you'll be nervous. Don't be.'
"I will give you an image that you can think about. Think that all the people you see in front of you are your brothers and sisters. You're singing in your living room and these are your family. They can't can't wait to hear you sing. I think I know you want to dedicate this song to your mother. So we're gonna sing ‘Because You Loved Me' for your mother."
After their performance...
"You did amazing, and the roof of the Madison (blew) up tonight," said Celine.
Celine also said that she loved Charice and that she could not wait to perform with Charice for a full concert.
"But I'll ask you Charice,when you do perform in Madison Square are you going to invite me? I love you and I can not wait to be with you to perform here for a whole concert," Celine said before she let Charice leave the concert stage.
