It's a honor to be able to live and document my journey here in the Philippines. 24 Countries and there's nothing that comes close to this incredible place. ALSO Thanks for every one who came by and said hi, love meeting you guys. You can tell the hard work and dedication by these young kids, mostly high school kids! 6 MONTHS INTENSE training to showcase the culture and heritage of Philippines.

I am from Iloilo. This made me cry,,, So beautiful and so proud of my city.

My country Philippines is religious country and we patronage, devoted and do fiestas big celebrations more events, show cultures of what have in Filipinos, thank you finn Snow showing us love Filipinos and we care for you too!!

FinnSnow Im one of a school personel who helped for one of those costumes....and it is not a joke! details..etc, the time and effort are worth it. im happy and proud ilonggos can showcase their creativity,culture and most of all its for the devotion for the child jesus!!💖

Dude from the bottom of my heart thank u for being here in the 50th anniversary of dinagyang. Thank u for featuring my home ILOILO and dinagyang. I've been waiting for a vlogger to feature DINAGYANG. I am proud!!!

Iloilo, the city of love. Clean, wide roads, and preserved heritage sites. Finn, Sherlyn makes you glow. It's obvious, when together, you Guys rock and bloom. Moreover, as conveyed by others, check out the Panagbenga Festival in Baguio City on Feb 24, it's a festival of flowers.

NAPAKAGANDA PALA NG AMING BANSA NAIYAK DIN AKO,It was truly more fun in the Philippines!Mabuhay. Thank you! Sherlyn and Finn love you! both.

One of the most extravagant and organized fiesta that I've ever seen! Thanks Finn!

It's so fascinating to see this kind of festival spark interest among foreigners. We have 175 ethnolinguistic groups, a proof of our cultural diversity. I wish we could have more festivals like this. I don't think many Filipinos realize that our cultural diversity is what makes us unique. Let us not lose this uniqueness. There are tons of beautiful countries with cities full of high rise buildings in the world now, but there is not much nations that celebrate different cultures. Only in the Philippines will you see the whole country celebrating the Feast of the Black Nazarene and Eid'l Fitr at the same time. Thank you for this, Finn. Thank you for digging deeper into our culture. You and Kyle show the side of the Philippines that other Travel Vloggers disregard: The hospitality and the resilience of the Filipinos and the diversity of PH culture. As a Filipino, I feel like this is what makes me proud of my country, for these are the traits that makes you want to come back and maybe, settle here for good. Kudos to you! I just subscribed.

i was once a main dancer of street dancing ,and i'm telling you the rehearsal was hell! but when we are dancing we are so emotional!!

Can't get over it.Watched it for so many times but keep on coming back to watch it again & again.I'm from Iloilo but never had a chance to watch it live even on tv.Maybe when I was li'l😊 as I'm living somewhere in the world😃.All I can say is I'm very proud.Proud to be Ilonggo, proud to be a Filipino and very proud of my country and fellow Filipino.And by the way I heard that they shut down the internet during Dinagyang for some reasons.Thx Finn & Sherlyn for featuring Dinagyang.Hope you too can patch up together soon...Love you both❤❤❤🤙🤙🤙

The best underatted festival so far ive known, ive travelled philippines in 8 years but this one never stop amaze me and the variety and choreo never been so good! Goodluck for your festival iloilo!

I've never seen anything so amazing. I just have no words. Thank you for sharing

That face of the dancer always smiling makes me proud of it 😍😍💪💪💪👍👍

So better than Rio's Carnaval in Brasil . Something Philippines must be proud about !

When I watched this.. there's only one thing that comes to my mind.. Gosh!!.. I'M PROUD TO BE FILIPINO... :)

Finn....one of your best videos ever!!! amazing!!!! thx

You really captured the emotion of the dancers......great job. It would be nice to learn more about the history of that festival. Thanks for sharing.

Teary eyed watching... a lot of calamities struck Philippines but nothing could take away our smiles..Finn,thank you for showing the beauty of my country.

Looks like you had an awesome time. I would have to agree with you, this is definitely better than Sinulog! Sorry to the Cebuanos.

Iloilo is where my parents are from, thanks for sharing Finn. Now Dinagyang is even better. Beautiful costumes behind rich cultures! Amazing !!

I don't know why i got emotional while watching this, i am trying to hold my tears. Seeing those smile and your background music, it really pulls some hearthstrings. Good job finn!

😳spectacular displays of Philippine Heritage.So Beautiful and Colourful.❤️❤️❤️👍😊🇵🇭🇬🇧

Goosebumbs! The Emotions of the Dancers. That’s what Dinagyang for! Hala bira!!!

Wow! And the tradition lives on...our dance was called "Chicken Dance" from INHS in that street 30 years ago...I was in high school. We have to perform with no shoes like a chicken. I can't remember how many blisters I had after the Dinagyang was done...Great capture of the faces and culture Finn..it's more colorful and diverse. Mabuhay Ang Ilonggo...

You really know how to capture the beauty of the Filippines and it's people. I can understand why your lady friend gets emotional. Great video, Finn!

What many don’t realize is the time and effort put into these performances. Costumes, props, and sets are only half of it. Coordinating a schedule with everyone and then learning, blocking, and fine tuning choreography, and then to learn how to do it while moving is an extraordinary feat in and of itself. I was lucky enough to learn it small scale here in the states when we contracted the late Sir Edwin Duero (previous dinagyang group coordinator winner) to come out and and teach us. An invaluable experience that I will forever cherish. Thanks for this video! It really captures the essence and the energy that these performers have for this tradition.

Im here watching this again for the 3rd time after watching the 2019 Dinagyang festival from other vloggers. I still like to refer back to this one because it shows it well with the close ups, capturing the performer's facial expressions, and slowmos and good music

Finn, one reason why there's no traffic that time is because during the Dinagyang festival, all public transportation from outside the city is withheld at least 3-5 kilometers from the city proper. It means people from outside the city would need to walk for at least that long.

Hello Finn, Don't forget to go north of Luzon and see the Panagbenga Festival in Baguio City, the summer capital of the Philippines . It starts 2nd week of February...🇨🇦🇵🇭😀

The passion and emotions of the performers didn't escaped your lens and for that I would give this video a thousand likes if possible...:) Thank you Finn.

the energy of those performers were absolutely amazing!

I saw the Kadayawan Festival in DAVAO in 2014 and I thought that was spectacular. Finn, I have been following you for quite some time now (mostly from my former channel) for almost a year and this is, in my opinion the best yet. I guess it affects people in different ways but after watching THIS video; if I was a Filipino, I DEFINITELY would be proud to be one. My wife and I are hoping to go back this up-coming summer. We have family up in CDO and Medina. I plan on making this trip (my third) the best yet. Thank you so much.

Proud ilongga here! yeah best festival is Dinagyang Festival!

Those who are a master at editing and telling a story are King here,,,,you da King..everyone loves you videos. Wish I had you helping my mission...I am to busy and old,,running out of time.

i have never been there before and watching this entire spectacle and grandeur of costumes and dances made me quite emotional, you could see the hard work and craftsmanship in each of the contingent and i felt faith and happiness just by merely watching this video, how much more if i get to have seen and witness this for real. thank you Finn, this made my day seem brighter. :)

Thank you finn for making great videos of our dinagyang festival,it shows different tribes thats how we are in the phils, finnsnow if you noticed the dialect there is different they called ilonggo they said the city of love their language there sounds sweet.im tagalog i have many friends from there.

WOW I never have seen such commitment from the artists' they are very good 10/10

FINN , what can I say but Congratulations for a beautiful video. Overwhelmed not obly by the colorful costumes but by the happiness and enthusiasm of the Filipino performers. Mabuhay Finn, thank you for sharing happiness and positive vibes.

thank you for capturing the pride of the philippines.. truly the most richest country in the world!! it’s not always the money.

Oh! Finn. You make me cry again. Hearing the drumbeats, watching the kids dance and I burst into tears... But this are happy and proud tears. Some of the kids that were performing are my neighbors. This is the pride of the Ilonggos, Dinagyang Festival! Salamat for visiting the City of Love!!!

This is the best festival so colorful and animated, the best in the Philippines!

There's nothing better in vlogging than capturing the emotions of the people. You've got it here Finn. The performers and performances were just awesome!

i been out of iloilo and antique for more than 20 years to witness this cultural show. it is a feast to the eye and to behold. thank you for capturing the intensity and magical moments.

That Was Marvellous!!! How can they pick a winner? // You miss her, don't you?

thats my hometown. so proud

Marvelous choreography,,, superb cinematography. What a way to watch the infamous Dinagyang with precision and tact Mr Finn Snow. Thank you and congratulations for a job well done.

Whoa! i have no words to say.. The smile on their face while dancing just shows how much they love their culture. Thank you Finn!

That was one sick video! You even captured people's expressions which was ridiculously priceless, the whole festival is lit!...wow...wish I was there.

W😍W, this Dinagyang Festival vlog of yours is one of your best clips ever , it showed humanity at its finest , how these locals professed Faith in Action , and Arts ... So full of heart in every aspect.. No wonder r pretty sheryl cried in tears of joy.. Thankyou! 😊

SPECTACULAR and AWESOME! What a way to capture the grandeur, elegance and drama as they unfold! TYVM, Finn, for making us Filipinos much prouder! Btw, if u may want to adopt a Filipino nickname, I suggest RUFING or PINONG from Finn, or ISLAW, To rhyme with Snow.

Amazing culture presentation❗️Art’s versatility! 💕✨💫

Last attended Dinagyang 10 yrs ago - the performances are superb, spectacular and fun. Will surely be in Iloilo for this festival next year.

Dinagyang Festival is The Best Tourism Event in the Philippines! Thank you for coming and sharing this amazing Video.

thank you for showing me my own roots. living and growing up in the US, i was deprived of my culture. this way i can live vicariously through your videos and be proud of my home country! thank you again!

You just captured it so INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL! thank you for appreciating our culture and people. As a Filipino and a Visayan, it definitely made me so proud. As our motto goes "IT'S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES" and the Filipinos too!

Wow I love to what you did in the main event. World class!

Can you imagine the amount of effort, the costume, all those props, the choreography. Wow

Wow! What a festival in IloIlo. I have been to the Philippines a few times, watching festival in Tagbilaran city Bohol but this one is the most elaborately magnificent I watched although not in person, the sounds got problems sometime but all in all it's the greatest. I've enjoyed it tremendously as it reminded me of my time in the past there in the Philippines. Thanks so much Finn. This is as good as any one that's from NatGeo or Discovery channels.

What I like about your vlogs Finn is you really get good shots and you edit it so good that people will love to watch them.

That was Epic Finn! This is possible your best film and my favorite to date. The performances, music, colors, costumes and smiles are nothing but amazing. Can't imagine the energy of the place. It was a pleasant surprise seeing a Korean and Kiwi group joining in the fun. Hats off to you! I just have to say that you both really look good together hehe. Safe travels and keep 'em coming.

I never comment. But i have to say this... YOUR BEST VIDEO so far!

My hometown Iloilo so bad I never get a chance watch live ..they said it’s better in Tv.. now in Canada 🇨🇦 opportunity is here .. thanks for appreciating Iloilo and visiting..watching this video really miss home been 8 years not home ., i love ❤️ Canada good opportunity but my happiness is in philippines life someday when I retired I’ll be home..

Hi Finn, I don’t normally leave comments when watching KZfaq videos, but I have to say THANK YOU so much for posting good videos and thank you for appreciating the Philippines. This video in particular reminded me that I have lots reasons to be proud of. God bless and keep on. You rock and you’re so cool! I miss my country the Philippines. Hope to visit there soon 💕❤️

Wow! Amazing, Finn. They put lots of great effort and creativity in their performance. So proud to be Pinoy!

Costumes were amazing...heavy and colorful😲😲

I love ILOILO festival it's very colorful the costume and never get's tired of it thanks for the video Finn and Sherlyn love you both take care.

thank you for visiting My hometown Iloilo, Iloilo the city of Love , No traffic hehe and the festival Dinagyang.. I hope you could comeback and enjoy again Dinagyang again. the reason why there is no signal during the festival because they have to shot it down, there afrain of terrorist attack or bombing.BTW I'm just wondering why did Sherlyn cried?.. and I love how you editing skills and again the music that you choose.. Swabe! anyway I hope you could visit next year and thank you for featuring Dinagyang i. Keep it up Finn... Madamo guid na Salamat! God bless

Like b4 watch hahaha..different tribes different languages different culture but one country philippines

been waiting for this video,i miss city of love.(iloilo)..thank you finn.

I think, Dinagyang festival is the mother of all festivals in the Philippines, while Sinulog is the father, Aliwan is thier parents.. lol... But seriously, no one can affirmed whose on top. As they are all MAJESTIC AND SPECTACULAR!

It was awesome!! I like their faces when performing. I cried too. But tears of joy.. sooo overwhelming...

Wow! its my first time to watch the Dinagyang Festival. Amazing. Thank you so Much Finn and Sherlyn.

All I can say is WOWWW!!☝thanks Finn👍👍

Thanks Finn for visiting Iloilo city and the rest of the country..You and Kulas are truly amazing.. We are very thankful and proud of you both..Hope I can personally thank you someday...Your work cannot be paid by any amount of money.. You bring happiness to everybody you meet and also the videos you post in the net.As Kulas always say Super Apir..

Wow!!! That's really spectacular Finn... you captured all the excitement and by this video you are showcasing the talent and culture of the Ilonggo's which is really amazing they deserved to get noticed from the world... Good job as usual man...

Glad you guys had a great time! I love watching your vlogs from events we were both at, always entertaining ✌️

Good job Finn! You covered the Dinagyang Festival nicely. And I have to say it is better compared to the Sinulog maybe because you featured the main event dance contest of Dinagyang.

If you had goosebumps (which I did) on those performances then I had tears of joy watching your vid. Never knew dinagyang was this colorful and intense. I had an experience on street dancing myself and I tell you it's tiring but very worthwhile. Thank you for capturing these wonderful moments Finn. You really did an awesome job making this vlog.

This is better than any kind of those events I saw throughout the world. So much new ideas :) The other events are of course all nice and some even also focus on being a cultural showcase instead of just a party magnet. But here you can see something, that is special to the Philippines in general, which not so much people already spoke about.. but you can see it everywhere, in little things or in big.. Its the enormous creative ability and potential there.. I never saw so much people who have hidden an inner artist, performer, designer, choreographer, musician, performance artist, inventor in them. At least thats what I feel. So good that nobody there seems to say, directly or indirectly "there is no space for that when one is grown up and has to work" as it is done in my country, at least between the lines, subconciously, and so many could preserve the imagination and creativity :)

That was spectacular Finn!

My hubby and I are enjoying ur videos, Finn gwapo ka.

I did not see this before is amazing 😉 beautiful I got a goosebumps Viva Pit Senior,Thank you FinnSnow your there with Sherlyn I’ll never seen like that ❤️❤️❤️ 👍👍👍

The best Dinagyang Festival edition ever. Jaw dropping costumes, limitless creativity and out this world conceptualization. Thanks for the vid. And yah someone suggested you to check Aliwan Fiesta. The best of the best festival of the Philippines will showcase and compete for the top plum. It was like bringing the whole country into one festivity.

I enjoyed watching your video more than being there in person years ago. Yes, you are right the streets in Iloilo are much wider compared to Cebu City. I wanted to go back there for another experience of Dinagyang. I have many classmates from there in high school and college. I hope they haven't gone overseas for greener pasture.

Really like this video, Finn. Looking forward to your videos of Antique, I miss my hometown. Go to the malumpati falls and don't miss the hotspring in Anini-y. You may also climb up one of the highest peak there that overlooks part of Palawan and negros island. I wish I were there to guide you.

while watching this video i can't myself to cry due to the emotions and facial reactions of the people while dancing. it was great and amazing video !!! :) we filipino are very friendly and always share smile to others :)

Amazing I was surprised to see how huge this Festival is. You captured the happy faces of both participants or performers and the audiences. Great video as usual. You made me feel proud to be a Filipino. Thank you fir sharing now I appreciate my country more than ever cause you are instrumental (and other bloggers too) in opening our eyes to the beauty of the Philippines and more so it's people who make the difference.

thank you for coming to the city of love, Iloilo, my hometown 😍
