Dinagyang Festival Schedule of Activities
Contents
People who wish to be engrossed by such a rich culture and a grand time of enjoyment, camaraderie, and religious significance need only to travel to Iloilo every fourth Sunday of January and be quickly immersed in the colorful spectacle known all over the world as the Iloilo Dinagyang Festival. For those people who say that Dinagyang is just a mirror of the equally famous Ati-atihan Festival, they wouldn’t be too far from the truth because both celebrations are geared towards giving homage to the patron Sto. Nino – a beloved image for most Catholic-raised Filipinos. The reverence and devotion of Catholics to the Sto. Nino is one thing that seems to bind Catholic Filipinos no matter from which region they may be. The Festival is one of the many festivals which gives many a reason to celebrate the intercession of Sto. Nino in their daily lives.
[Dinagyang Festival Schedule of Activities]
Established in 1967 to honor Sto. Nino and also remember the significance of how our ancestors welcomed the Malays to Panay Island, the Dinagyang Festival got its start through the inspiration of Reverend Father Ambrosio Galindez. He got the idea after watching the Sinulog Festival and the Ati-atihan Festivals in neighboring locales and wished to replicate the gaiety and the spectacle that brought people together. He wanted the people of Iloilo to have a festival that is their own, so that they too, can honor their patron. His actions have thus far set a huge chain reaction that reverberates to this day as annually, the festival brings together people from all walks of life, both local and foreign, to Iloilo for a few days of enjoyment and entertainment that is centered on their patron.
For those of you who think that the Dinagyang is just a festival, then you are quite wrong. On the contrary, to celebrate the diversity of the culture, three major celebrations comprise the Dinagyang – the Ati Tribe Competition, the Kasadyahan Cultural Competition, and the Miss Iloilo Dinagyang. All of these three component celebrations add to the grandeur of the spectacle as they each highlight a different part of the culture that is so steeped in gaiety and significance.

The Ati Tribe Competition brings together natives and visitors who wish to dance in merriment in the streets. The more important thing though is that the celebration brings together people who wish to recognize the impact of the Ati tribes who peopled most of Panay back then. Recently, even the hinterland Atis have joined the celebration for recognition.
The Kadsayahan Festival, on the other hand, brings together, not only the local barrios and schools but also now accepts regional entries which showcase the depth and breadth of culture as they see fit. Meanwhile, Miss Iloilo Dinagyang showcases the beauty of Ilonggo women to the world as they step up to the plate to promote their various causes and beliefs.
With time, the Dinagyang Festival mirrors that of society – resilient but capable of being molded to suit its passage, colorful and timeless, celebrating not only the rich culture but most importantly, the vibrant way of life that is uniquely Ilonggo, uniquely theirs for the world to indulge in for a couple of days every fourth week of January.

The way of life at your association sets assumptions for how individuals act and work together, and how well they capability collectively. Along these lines, culture can separate the limits between siloed groups, guide navigation, and further develop work process overall.It engages representatives to develop inside the association and take responsibility for and projects. It advances learning and expert turn of events, while beating harmful ways of behaving and unfortunate hard working attitude down.
Based on the Iloilo Festival which is Dinagyang, Understanding the corporate culture is important because of the following:
1. Businesses must adapt and understand the culture of local people to make sure that their policy is aligned with the local culture to avoid any misunderstandings.
2. Labor coming from local of Iloilo should feel That the company values and respects their beliefs and culture so they can perform better and retain employee better.
3. businesses must support any activities that that involves the culture of the local residents so that they can feel that they are being supported
John paul Navarette

I do agree that the Iloilo City is known for their preservation of their culture and arts and they are celebrating Dinagyang Festival. And here the 3 reasons why understanding corporate culture is important. First, they wanted to celebrate their Patron Sto.Nino a beloved image for most of Catholic, for us to understand their culture they celebrating through dancing and called Dinagyang Festival. Next is their uniqueness, they remind us of the importance of culture through History the arrival on the Malay settlers and the legendary barter of Panay Island. And last is we need to give importance to the culture because this is where we come from and we must see each other equally.
Dinagyang Festival has a history, We need to value their culture because it shows respect to them. Valuing diversity because it is within our differences that we can find the beauty of their festival. Respect and appreciate each other's cultural differences so that it can be returned to you someday.
We all know that we have a different cultures and it make us unique in our own differences. It is important to understand coperate cultures beacuse it help us grow and learn from other cultures. Promoting a diversity is one important in building respect and acceptance to develop a better relationship with everyone . Having a unity is the best key to achieved a specific goal and to be successful.

Dinagyang festival of Iloilo City is indeed a great example of a corporate culture wherein they stick and patronize the social norms and culture that they lived in. Understanding corporate culture is very important because; First, it emphasize the culture of our ancestors where we show it thru festivals and other rituals which also for showing them respect. Furthermore, it improves the unity in either a company or a society because they have good communication since they have the same culture. Lastly, it will have a positive effect in their relationship with their colleagues since they understand each other.
John Miguel L. Villa BSIT 3M-1
Iloilo City has a good preservation for their culture and arts. Understanding corporate culture we can know their values and beliefs on how they make their decisions and they make sure that all of them strive for one goal that can help their organization grow. Having diversity in an organization can help each other eventhough we have different cultural backgrounds. We treat each other equally and allow the organization to become more effective because we have communication and there is a chance of success in the organization. Having a strong organizational culture we can build a strong foundation or relationship with our fellow members.
Corporate culture is the set of values and practices that guide how management and staff interact and conduct business with third parties. Corporate culture frequently grows organically over time from the collective characteristics of the individuals the organization recruits and is indicated rather than explicitly stated. There are three reason why it is important, first is identity; it is for starters, culture contributes to the identify and values of your company. Second is retention, that a strong company culture attracts better talent and more importantly, retains that talent. And lastly is the image, it should be the corporate culture also adds to your brand identity that if you treat your employees well and have a fun-loving corporate atmosphere, your customers will see you as a fun-loving, generous brand. That's how important corporate culture it is, it can support important business objectives and help you to become successful.
Ayomana , Mark Joseph
Understanding corporate culture is very important not just to all filipinos but to all people who visits in Iloilo. Preservation of culture and arts is a a good practices just to preserve the history. It is very important to have understanding in different culture, it shows the good culture, the beliefs of the people in Iloilo. It creates a positive impact to improve our understanding, learning and connecting.
