If you are staying in Iloilo you know for sure what Dinagyang is and when it is. Some wait for the auspicious posters to be hanged on the streets. Some wait for the real day of "Merrymaking". I wait for the sound of drums.
A few weeks before, I had already heard and seen some high school students play the upbeat tunes in their make-shift drums. These can be heard in the wee hours of the night for in their hope that their opponents would not hear it. They would practice when the sun is hiding in its blankets.
Tonight, I hear the drums once more but much louder. Dinagyang is here.
kon sa natio ka naghigh school, especially during the golden years sang bola-bola, iba ang experience. rewarding :D
