Dinagyang Festival dancer January 24, 2014, after spending exactly a week in Cebu with Sinulog Festival being the trip's highlight, I flew next to Iloilo for yet another of Philippine's largest festivity, the Dinagyang Festival. It's one of my much anticipated Philippine Festival plus it's also my first Iloilo visit. My parents said that our ancestors originally are from this side of Western Visayas thus I was happy to explore.

  My dad came home from Iloilo last week. I am always excited everytime he comes home from Iloilo knowing that we will all be handed out with many of Iloilo's pasalubong. I was first introduced to Iloilo's native delicacies way back high school years when my dad was still working in Iloilo. My favorite native dish? The traditional BATCHOY! Heaven! Sayang, my dad wasn't able to bring home batchoy but we're still very much happy munching these guys here...most of which were bought from the famous Biscocho Haus.
