Attending the opening program were officials from the Iloilo City government, the Iloilo Festivals Foundation Incorporated , and from other organizing and supporting groups. Iloilo Governor Arthur Defensor Jr. also gave a recorded message, saying that the festival was an opportunity to be thankful to the Señor Sto. Niño amid the continuing challenges brought about by the pandemic.
“We’ve always anticipated the Dinagyang because we want to witness the dancing tribes performing with their garb, together with other vibrant activities in Iloilo [City]. We’ve enjoyed celebrating Dinagyang with family and friends, enjoying our vast cuisine here, but since the pandemic, that just faded. But that did not stop us in our devotion to the Senor Sto. Niño.
