TRIBU ATUB-ATUB | DINAGYANG 2007

Founded on May 5, 1971, by Joaquin Santiago Sr. and his family, Tribu Atub-Atub began as an expression of their devotion to the Holy Child Jesus, whom they believed had continuously blessed their family.

TRIBU PANAGAT | DINAGYANG 2010

Tribu Panagat, a collaboration between Tribu Pari-anon and the Municipality of Estancia, Iloilo, representing the town in the Dinagyang Festival.
The name Panagat may have been chosen to reflect Estancia’s identity as a coastal fishing town. In Hiligaynon, panagat refers to fishing or the activity of catching fish. It also connects to Estancia’s Panagat Festival, celebrated in April, which honors the town’s fishing heritage and the livelihood of its fishing community.

This collaboration brought together Tribu Pari-anon’s festival experience and Estancia’s rich fishing culture, creating a meaningful connection between Dinagyang and the traditions of a coastal community in northern Iloilo.
