00:00 One of the things that is expected in the year of the opening of Sinulog Festival

00:04 are the various street dance competitions.

00:07 It is where the colorful and rich culture of Cebuans is present,

00:12 like Rod Lagusan.

00:14 The long-awaited street dance competition of Sinulog Festival in Cebu is tomorrow.

00:22 It is where the rich culture of different places is present

00:25 and the Filipino's joy.

00:28 We should be aware that this is the promise of one of the members,

00:31 the people of Dinagat Islands,

00:33 when they first came here.

00:35 They bring the colorful culture of their province

00:38 that they will show tomorrow,

00:40 including their own Bukosan Festival.

00:43 They came from the root word "Bukos" which means to unite.

00:47 As you know, the people of Dinagat Islands are diverse.

00:53 They came from different regions.

00:56 They united in one mystical island.

01:01 Maybe the perfect term would be unity amidst diversity.

01:06 This is a continuation of the province's development

01:08 since the outbreak of the Odette earthquake in 2021.

01:12 It is also an opportunity for the province to introduce their place to more people

01:17 that can help their tourism.

01:20 It is also part of the local government's plan

01:22 to correct the misconceptions that exist in their province.

01:25 It is very important to correct the misconceptions

01:28 that is currently plaguing, to be extreme,

01:33 plaguing the image of Dinagat as a whole.

01:40 If we don't do something about it, it will persist for a very long time.

01:45 We want to tell the viewers that we are God-fearing people.

01:51 They also gave their province a safe place, especially to the people who will visit here.

01:55 Meanwhile, when it comes to their contingent's performance,

01:59 many are expecting a blast in their street dance presentation.

02:03 Culture is the soul of the community.

02:06 So, we are showcasing this culture of Dinagatnons,

02:12 a unique culture of Dinagatnons, through our dance.

02:17 It is an interpretation through our actions and through our music.

02:21 If I could play you at the Sinulog stage,

02:24 because we see it as one of the grandest stages here in the Philippines,

02:30 this would be a perfect time or opportunity

02:36 to somehow eradicate the misconceptions.

02:43 In the end, despite the challenges they faced,

02:47 they will give 100% for a world-class performance.

02:51 Rod Laguzad, for the country.
