text: Aliwan Fiesta is the annual "mother of festivals" in the Philippines, which is usually organized in mid-April in Manila. In this incredibly colourful event take part champions - the best contingents of the best Filipino festivals, fabulous not only on the scene, but also in the backstage, where it's possible to admire their extraordinary outfits.<br /> Tribu Panayanon, the winner of Dinagyang festival in Iloilo (for their photos check my Dinagyang gallery) was also the champion of the Aliwan Fiesta.
