Meet the Hudyaka sa Panglao Festival 2021 Grand Winners

It was a unique way of mounting the Hudyaka sa Panglao Festival 2021 Ritual Dance contest.

Panglao Mayor Nila Montero 

With strict implementation of the safety protocols like social distancing, safety masks and handwashing, the festival came up with a virtual edition where only the ritual dance category was retained. 

All ten barangays of Panglao sent a dance contingent each with a reduced number of dancers. 

With the shift from face- to- face interaction and live performances to cable TV viewers and users of social media like FB Live and YouTube, dance trainors, choreographers & barangay officials had to recalibrate and adjust their respective presentations to get the judges' nod and audience approval without losing the essence of the contest. 

The video presentations were also a great way of promoting the barangays' places of interest as they also showcased their white sandy beaches, swanky resorts, businesses and famed landmarks like the watch tower, the parish church and their international airport. 

The three- hour event which showcased all pre- taped presentations was beamed as a live presentation from Panglao Cultural Center with only the town & barangay officials led by Mayor Nila Montero, contest judges, the event emcees, technical crew and safety marshalls in attendance. 

The panel of judges chaired by multi awarded director & choreographer  Victor Hao Cuenca also had socialite Lady Cely Chiongbian, cultural impresario Marianito Luspo, arts & culture advocate Fiel Araoarao-Gabin and dance diva Nila Itac as members. 

Spicing up the event were the national & provincial officials who gave video greetings In between the presentations. 

Named Grand Champion for the third straight year was Brgy. Bil-isan led by Capt. Albert Bompat and Justine Milay as Best Choreographer
