Davao City in #Kadayawan Day 9 #TeamDDI

On our third to eight day celebrating Kadayawan Festival, Kadayawan Warriors from the Davao Digital Influencers had to get up early to cover all of the events: TUNOG KADAYAWAN, ZUMBA SA KADAYAWAN, SAYAW KADAYAWAN, KOSPLAY KADAYAWAN (Pre-screening), KADAYAWAN BALL, HABI KADAYAWAN, DULA KADAYAWAN and PAHALIPAY SA KADAYAWAN by PARTNERS. All members have limited availability and all are signed up in advance.

I signed up on the 9th day, that is INDAK-INDAK SA KADAYAWAN and KOSPLAY KADAYAWAN.

The Indak-Indak was scheduled at 7AM, everyone was pretty much ready at 5AM.

After a quick breakfast, me together with my daughter and my #TeamDDI colleagues were off to streets of downtown Davao starting at Roxas Avenue.

The Indak-Indak is one of the highlights of the 10-day Kadayawan Festival, the name basically means "STREET DANCING" which depicts the rich heritage of Davao City and the 11 tribes.

Plus, an added highlight to this event is the KOSPLAY KADAYAWAN. For the first time, the Kadayawan organizers hold this year a Kosplay (Cosplay) or Costume Play wherein the participants are encourage to unleash their creativity and get inspiration from the city's icon, the Philippine Eagle.

I watch many cultural presentations, but what more interesting about Indak-Indak sa Kadayawan is the use of unique Mindanaoan dance choreography, costumes, and accessories, same as with the Kosplay Kadayawan. I was just ecstatic to see the whole parade, watching the competing contingents from Davao City and outside Davao Region.

Congratulation to all the winners!!!

See you next year for super lively, festive and most awaited grandeur festival in the Philippines - #KADAYAWAN
