ILOILO CITY, Dec. 11 (PIA-6) -- Nine barangay-based tribes will be featured in the "Pamukaw" on December 14, 2019, that will signal the start of the Dinagyang season.
Oscar Vijuan, tribe manager of Tribu Parianon which is one of the barangay-based tribes that will join the event this Saturday, said they are grateful to the city government here and the Iloilo Festival Foundation Inc., that they will be able to take part in the Dinagyang 2020 festivities.
"It has been nine years since we were able to perform," Vijuan said in the dialect, adding that they are glad that the traditional Pamukaw is being revived.
Meanwhile, Florence King Erlano, Tourism Operations Officer of the City Tourism and Development Office here, said that Pamukaw will not have the usual parade-type performances.
"We are going back to its roots and we will be back to the tradition and 'panata' of the barangay tribes," he said.
He said the nine tribes will be performing in eight designated areas on December 14 at 8 PM.
"This is a call to the community and the business sector that Dinagyang season is starting," he said.
Tribu Molave will perform at the Arevalo Plaza; Familia Sagrada at Mandurriao Plaza; Tribu Parianon at the Molo Plaza; Tribu Aninipay at La Paz Plaza; Tribu Hamili and Tribu Sagasa at Plaza Libertad; Tribu Kanyao at Jaro Plaza; Tribu Panaad at Sunburst Park; and Tribu Angola at SM City.
