2nd Place
5.42 min. | 4.23 user rating		 Tribu Kasag placed 2nd in 2009 Aliwan Fiesta. Iloilo's Dinagyang is actually composed of two parts. The first part, called Kasadyahan, happens on Saturday of the fiesta and has a more varied theme, usually portraying colorful rituals or slices of local history. Tribu Kasag of Banate, Iloilo was formed after the town took on the "One Town, One Product" campaign to popularize the blue crab as a local delicacy. Called "Kasag" in Ilonggo, it is the core of the celebratory dance which depicts the lively movements of the crab amid the Banatenhon way of life and implements such as the bancas, bodol, and panggal. The three levels of their float symbolize the Banate folk's wish to excel in economic, cultural and artistic development. Naturally, a giant crab is the focal point of the float, and their decor utilizes artful appliques of shells and various body parts of the kasag combined with fishing nets, bamboo poles and even gian jelly fish. The use of blue and orange come from the crab's color before and after it is cooked. Visits Aliwan and other sites: aliwanfiesta.com.ph www.aliwanfiesta.com
