“Our Dinagyang is set to take the international stage. We are excited to showcase our culture and strength, the resilience of the Dinagyang warrior to the world that celebrates our culture and unity,” Tan said.

“Let’s keep the Dinagyang spirit alive and continue to make Iloilo City shine on the global stage,” Mayor Jerry Treñas said.

In separate advisories on Monday, Seaoil and Shell Pilipinas said the per-liter prices of gasoline and diesel would be reduced by 50 centavos and 70 centavos, respectively.

According to the group, the Department of Trade and Industry’s (DTI) Bureau of Philippine Standards (BPS) is seeking feedback from stakeholders on recommendations to follow several measures as they received a bulletin from the government body informing them of five international standards on textiles published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) intended for adoption under the Philippine National Standards (PNS).

This partnership serves as a driving force behind Dinagyang Festival’s success, fueling our shared vision and paving the way for a stronger Iloilo City and province,” Tan said.
