The first time I’ve watch a Dinagyang Festival was with vlogger Gareth Leonard from his visit to the Philippines last year, now watching this vlogs again makes me want to do my vacation around January so I can take part of the Sinulog and Dinagyang Festival. It was such a great experienced seeing your excitement and enjoying it, it gaves me a strong urge to be part of it too.

Yes, there will always be comparisons from tourists , spectators and observers of these big Island Festivals in the Philippines... and the debate will be never-ending... and, just take things in the spirit of fun!! They are all unique!! BUT... there used to be, or still is (I'm no longer certain) an annual grand Festival Competitions, the ALIWAN, I think it is!! This was the National festivals competitions organized by the NCCA and Cultural Center of the Philippines... That should provide the criteria on which to judge these festivals... and teh Iloilo Dinagyang was the first Grand multiple-year WInner...very consistent, awe-inspiring, spectacular!! The first Hall of Famer of sorts!! So, there...

This vlog is LIT! “The Philippines is so much more than beaches!” ❤️❤️❤️

Loved it so much! But to clarify, the tribe that Nelly's telling "defending tribe" is actually not a competing tribe but just a special tribute for Tribu Bola-Bola who have won 8 times during the 90s and the dancers and drummers were actually their original members who are already in their 30s. 😊 So glad to share that info 😁

Mike & Nelly - you must be heroes in the Philippines. Now, we all know how happy, loving, social, helpful & charming Pinoy people are - from one end of the country to the other. Hi, from NYC!

Finally, your Dinagyang vlog. Thank you Mike and Nelly for appreciating Ilonggo culture and festival. Hope to see you.

Dinagyang is the best festival in Philippines mind blowing,spectacular performance,energetic most vibrant colors.it a must seen by the world.awesome.nice video.cheers guys...

Nelly you are so right that Dinagyang fits to be an international event. The quality of performances have excelled thru the years. It is ripe for international recognition.

THANK YOU AND WE LOVE YOU GUYS..TAKE CARE ALWAYS ILOILO CITY LOVES YOU!!!

I remembered my college days where me and my friends always attended the dinagyang featival, from Kasadyahan, Merry Making to the Dinagyang day where warriors and dancers showcases their talents in the honor of Sto. Nino. This video makes me miss my hometown so much.

Love Dinagyang and it's the best and I'm from Bacolod. Yahoo!

Great meeting you guys at the Marriott today. Congratulations on hitting 100k subscribers! Dinagyang was a blast. You really captured it well. I really enjoyed the slow motion sequences. Fantastic!

Actually the winner in dinagyang festival is invited to different countries to perform. Like in US when the Filipino community celebrates Independence day they are always there every year.

damn!..i love sinulog but this is on another level..

Dinagyang is the best festival in the Philippines :)

Thank you Nelly,Mike,George and Lucy for vlogging the Philippines. We Filipinos currently living in other countries really appreciate it. Makes us feel a little less homesick. Love love you guys...♥️♥️♥️♥️

My hometown city of love 💗 Iloilo city Phils. Miss a lot Dinagyang Festival last year I'm home, but now😢😢😢see u after 3years Iloilo😭😭😭 Viva! Viva! Senior Sto. Niño🙏😇 Thanks for this video and Palangga ko ang Ilonggo (I love Ilonggo) New subscriber here at Saudi, god bless 🙏😇

HOOKED TO THE MAKING IT JUICY ON THE ROAD VLOGSS!!! So much love to you guys!

Wow! It's here! It's uploaded agad! Thanks Mike and Nelly!

The beat of the drum is very much impressive especially in actual performance!

DINAGYANG, the NUMBER 1 and the BEst Festival in the Philippines!!

The costumes are fantastic. It's very tribal. Must be a great day for filming and photography.

I like how Mike puts his arms around Nelly. He's soo protective of her. Lucky Nelly 😍

OOHHHMGGG THATS INCREDIBLY INSANE AMAZING PERFORMANCES ,👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The Grandiest festival in the Phils is the ALIWAN FIESTA in Manila, Pasay Cit, this April.. A festival-cum-competition where dancers try to outperform one another in an attempt to claim the crown and the million peso grand prize. There are three categories: Street Dance, Float Parade, and the Reyna ng Aliwan (Queen of Entertainment) beauty pageant. The contestants are from all over the Philippines with each region allowed to put forward two representative teams, as well as one entry for the beauty pageant.

That’s why Dinagyang is the best tourism event in the Philippines every year. Hala bira Iloilo! Viva señior sto. Niño!

Exactly! It isn't just sand, sea, and sun (It's Fiestas, Festival Parades, and Typhoons, heheh!). You guys are the Ultimate Advertisers for Philippine Tourism. Thank you for these videos. God Bless your hearts. ..... It Really IS More Fun in the Philippines!!! :)

So invigorating, this is most probably the closest I can get to the reality of seeing this festival 😍🤩❤👍☝️✌🤟🙏

Love from Pakistan

The performances of these high school kids are really incredibly amazing! Viva Señor Santo Niño! Viva Mike & Nelly😊

I have not seen Dinagyang Festival for almost 15 years....you really can feel the rhythm and the beating of the drum in every performance of the group it's an awesome experience.

I usually skipped during b-rolls, but this one... EVERY SECOND COUNTS! Like I should really go to Dinagyang next year. I'm an introvert person so I'm not into festivals but for the sake of art, this one I shouldn't miss. You guys did a great job covering this event. Kudos to the organizers who let you document the festival for a different outlet. Cheers!

Oh my gosh!! 😍 This makes me so proud to be a Filipino, I really wish i could be there ❤ Thank you guys for bringing Dinagyang festival to us!! 😊

OVER-FLOWING LOVE FROM VIETNAM

DINAGYANG + MIKE AND NELLY = ❤️ *nothing beats a good festival with my favorite couple vloggers! 🙏.

Thank you for visiting and witnessing the best celebration of Sto. Nino (Ninyo). I glad you are loving the rhythm of the drums and the dancing. I wish you have interviewed one local officer or local with some history of DInagyang (or Ati-atihan old name). Thank you and hope you come back again next year with your family.

Wow i am very happy that you're able to witness the pride of ilonggo which is the dinagyang festival.. you are also very lucky because this year was extra special because of the performance of the 8x Dinagyang Grand Champion,which is the tribu Bola-Bola.

I never knew the Iloilo festival would be that grand and fun.

Watching from afar - Canada! Don't skip any ads guys, let's support them. Thank you showing us, Filipinos from all over the word, different events from our beloved Philippines. Supporting you almost everyday! God bless you all, be safe and enjoy our country.

Dinagyang... My Father's Hometown Iloilo.

i love the facial expressions of the dancers....

I was crying while watching because it's so beautiful! T.T

Next year if you’ll join sinulog. You must watch the performances of the contingents at the grandstand . That’s what you missed during sinulog. You must get a ticket before the sinulog grand parade. Thank you for joining the festivals in our country.❤️

Wonderful! I hope you get to see Panagbenga (Flower Festival) in Baguio City this february too! Amazing street dance parade and Floral float parade. 👌🏼 #festivalhopping you guys! 😀

Mind blowing performances... I’m glad that you enjoyed Dinagyang

Thanks for appreciating and sharing our heritage an culture guys

i was so surprised when i saw you two in Dinagyang festival. i didn't even imagine to meet you guys personally. but i did and i was so happy, thank you for visiting us and participating Dinagyang festival "harry"

Wow, that is "instant post"! Thanks Making it Happen Vlog and thanks Juicy Juice Vlog. You guys impress as well as connect to Filipinos not only in the Philippines but all over the world. I am from Iloilo myself, now based in Chicago. Thank you for bringing Iloilo and Dinagyang to us.

Wow my favorite dinagyang festival iloilo......ilonggo here

Thanks Mike and Nelly....Hala Bira Iloilo.....Viva Senior Sto. Nino!

I'm an Ilongga and the first and the last time Ive watched Dinagyang was in HS around 40 years ago, watchign this I realized I've missed a lot but sooo thankful of you guys...next to my bucket list....Dinagyang!!!!

I can feel the powerful drum beats from my speaker. ahahaha I miss my dad's hometown.

The best hotel to stay if you're watching Dinagyang is in Grand Xing Hotel but you have to make reservations few months before the event. I made my reservation paid half in September 2018 for 2019 event. You get to choose which room you want, terrace facing the main road. I use to stay at Amigo Hotel but I think they're renovating. I was not able to go home though so I just gave my rooms to my sons who's studying in the Philippines.

You have to experience the Ati-atihan festival in Kalibo. It's the mother of all festivals in the Philippines. It's a different experience, not just a cultural presentation. Street dancing locally called "sadsad", in which every spectator would normally join, because of the enticing beat of the drums and melody coming from lyres will give you an amazing feeling of happiness. 😀

The most amazing performances, costumes and production design...Dinagyang is indeed the Queen of Festivals!

Each province in the Philippines has it's own festival. However Dinagyang is one of the most popular one. I come from the Northern part of the Philippines and I never been to the South. So I am happy to watch your blogs to experience their culture down there. Enjoy cause it's more fun in the Philippines. See u soon here in Makati (hopefully)

Wow! I'm seeing it through yours eyes for the first time. I have never seen anything like it. Thank you for showcasing the Filipino cultures. You guys are awesome. My dad was born there then moved to Bacolod city where I was born. It's going to be in my bucket lists to see when I finally get my dual visa and visit ph. Keep vlogging and take care.❤

a great festival I got to go it in person

Watching from morocco nice festival 👍👍👍 always following your vlogs

I’m glad that you Guys we’re enjoying the festivals in the Philippines 😘😘

festivals in the Philippines are year round and happening all over from the biggest towns to the smallest towns. each festival happening at a different time of the year. there are even occasions when festivals are held on the same day in several towns because the towns share the same patron saint. i suggest for tourists visiting the philippines, to research about the town they're going to because there just might be a fiesta there and they can plan and include it in their itinerary. Panagbenga (flower festival) in Baguio is the next big festival happening in February. it is the Filipino version to the Rose Parade in Pasadena California.

I'm a filipina living in Oman and this is my first time to see dinagyang and sinulog thru your videos together with the juicy vlog. Thank you so much! Such fun watching!

I liked it when Nelly said that the video should be shared to everyone so many foreigners would come and see what is the Philippines....sweet Nelly😘😘😘

Thank you guys for this awesome video! I'm an Ilonggo but working abroad. It's nice to see you vlogging the Dinagyang 2019! Hala Bira Iloilo! Viva Señor Sto. Niño! God bless Making it happen! 😍
