To the Dinagyang fans' awe: I was flaming with anger and disbelief of what i saw, a contigent from Tondo, Manila is performing a cheap copy of Tribu Paghidaet's routine performed last year (2008) in Aliwan. Worse, this copycat group claims to come from a legitimate festival. Wow, imitation they say is the highest form of flattery, but copying the whole routine which is the brain child, the intellectual property of Tribu Paghidaet's choreographer is not a simple imitation, it's a theft... an art theft. This is so far the grandest art
theft I saw being showcased in the grandest festival of the Philippines.
LAKBAYAW FESTIVAL'S ROUTINE IS SO FAR THE CHEAPEST AND THE WORST FORM OF ART I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.

THE "ART THIEVES": TRIBU MODELIAN OF LAKBAYAW FESTIVAL FROM TONDO PERFORMING IN ALIWAN 2009
Added post: January 20, 2010, to highlight yet another act of theft!
I again would like to emphasize and point out that Tribu Modelian of Lakbayaw Festival from Tondo has committed the same theft again. The entire dance routine / choreography of Tribu Paghidaet of Dinagyang Festival which was performed in Aliwan Fiesta 2009 last year was copied / imitated and falsely-owned by Tribu Modelian. In fact, that same performace of Tribu Paghidaet in Aliwan last year was performed by Tribu Modelian, in its entirity, in the recently concluded Lakbayaw Festival 2010 in Tondo, Manila.
THE ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE BY TRIBU PAGHIDAET (DINAGYANG) IN ALIWAN FIESTA (APRIL 2009)
THE COPIED / STOLEN DANCE ROUTINE / CHOREOGRAPHY OF TRIBU MODELIAN OF LAKBAYAW FESTIVAL SHOWCASED IN THE RECENTLY CONCLUDED LAKBAYAW FESTIVAL 2010 IN TONDO, MANILA
I therefore urge you to sign the petition I made, calling the attention of the authorities in the preservation of arts & culture to sanction or penalize Tribu Modelian and Lakbayaw Festival: Tribu Modelian for blatantly copying a brainchild of Paghidaet's choreographer and for Lakbayaw Festival for allowing such act to go on in their festival.

I am completely shock and I cannot even bare to watch up to the last part of this performance.It is an exact replica of Tribu Paghidaet performance even the music it is unbelievable to see and I am so disgusted with the people behind Lakbayaw.Whoever taught this should be ashamed to call himself a "choreographer" Lakbayaw Festival,if you have official who is organizing this cultural event this shows how pinoy specifically people of TRondo are "GARAPAL" DEPERATE MANGONGOPYA! nakakahiya kayo pinopost nyo pa sa youtube.To the people behind this petition I greatly appreciate your effort to preserve Ilonggos culture and for not tolerating such inappropriate action.I'm sorry I am so disappointed with what I see in here and I can't control myself not to feel bad I do not generalize you but please Lakbayaw my last message,huwag na kayo mag festival kung mangongopya lang kayo sayang budget ng gobyerno.Dinagyang festival is held not only for tourism but to show how talented they are and they took a lot of effort to create a masterpiece samantalang kayo binababoy nyo lang.This is a waste of crap that yu are doing that needs to be put to an end.
Thanks for bringing this up! I absolutely agree to what you say.

Wala na bang maisip na choreo and gropung ito? Disgusting naman.. i am an ilonggo and im happy to see Dinagyang's influnces in other festivals.. but not to the extent of copying the whole drama of Tribu Paghidaet of Dinagyang Festival.
So disgusting!!!I am proud Ilonngo!
di ko ma intindihan? nag guest ba ang paghidait sa tondo? or sumali ang paghidait sa tondo? paano nagkaroon ng dinagyang sa manila?
Official ba yan?...
bobo naman ng nhoa na yan.. iba ang idol sa magnanakaw.. nagbabasa ka ba.. hindi lang nga ginaya yung routine nila, gnamit pa nga laban sa kanila.. bobo talaga.. hindi ako ilonggo pero sobra yang ginawa nila..
ganyan naman talaga sila eh, nag a'alibi na sila gumawa nag routine..
hinde casi sila idealistic, ma runung lan silang mang gaya x2 at mag sinouos.. :-D
Tondo can celebrate the feast of Sto. Nino and can have their own version of Ati-Atihan or Dinagyang it wouldn't matter. What we care about is that contingents in the Lakbayaw Festival of Tondo are blatantly copying the choreography and concept (in every single detail) of the contingents from Dinagyang Festival. Worse, they claim it as their own and even used it to compete even against Dinagyang Festival itself.
..uhhmm .. excuse me nhoa.. i am from iloilo and my school was La Paz National High School where Tribu Paghidaet is. can't u get it..? insulto para samin ang gayahin ang routine ng aming tribe coz kme ang nag choreograph and naghirap para mabuo 'yan.. how come nman nah gnun lng kdali para xa kanila nah gayahin ang routine.. you're ryt.. proud kme xa aming tribe pero d namin ikinararangal na basta2 nlng babastusin at gagayahin ang routine nmin.. ask lng poh akoh xa "choreographer" ng Lakbayaw ha..? aren't u desperate enough 2 copy even the music of our tribe..? "ang kapal moh nman poh".. konting respect nman jan kahit konti lng.. hindi dpat para xa inyo ang krangalan na tinanggap nio.. mahiya nman ka'u.. haai naku.. sobrang idol nio nman yung tribe nmin para gayahim mio lahat.. nkaka shock ka'u ha..!! ang galing nyong kumopya.. d nah nahiya.!! basta 4 me.. nakilala ang xkul nmin dahil xa karangalan na dinadala ng Tribu Paghidaet.. We're the Original and La Paz National High School is still the "True Home of Champions".!!!
@nhoa: in the first place, sino ba ang nagsabi na ipatigil ang Lakbayaw festival? Wala nman di ba.FYI lng, we Ilonggos are very very proud of our dinagyang festival.Each one of us has its own way of showcasing our talents. We do appreciate that in one way or the other, our festival became an inspiration not only to the people of Tondo but to all the Filipinos. Kung naka register lng sa Intellectual Property Office ung choreography ng Tribu Paghidaet baka nakasuhan na choreographer ng tribe na "nanggaya".We only want to express our dismay and disappointment to whoever is responsible for this kind of "piracy" thing.The saddest part is they're claiming that it was their own choreography and concept. At some point, u may get certain ideas from the routine but not copy the whole thing. Asan ang originality nyo? We have been preserving our Ilonggo culture and the masterpieces created by our talented Ilonggo choreographers for so many years.Pawis at pagod ang puhunan nila dito so sana mahiya naman kayo para i-claim na original ung choreography nung tribe na nanggaya which is hindi nman talaga.Create your own masterpiece! Something you can be proud of..na masasabi nyo talagang sa inyo.

^ panu magiging proud kung ninanakaw ang concept, choreography, costume, music?
grabe lantarang pangongopya..............
the routine, choreography and halos lahat nakopya na ng tribong to ang DINAGYANG........
it seems like its not a lakbayaw festival anymore but rather its already Dinagyang Festival of Tondo........
Grabe...i am amaze of its choreographer who doesnt have its own choreography but rather STEAL it from others choreography....SALUDO ako sa yo......
ang masasabi ko lg. meron pa bang mga aeta sa tondo? kasi kung umikot ka sa iloilo dami pang aeta... lahat nlg ba ng aspeto ng kultura namin d2 kokopyahin nu? parang lapaz batchoy. kahit anong kopya nu pa dyan iba parin ang sarap ng tunay na lapaz batchoy. totoong maraming festival ang sto. nino pero hindi lg dinagayang. bat kopyang-kopya talga sa amin ang festival nyo. kelan ba sa inyo nag simula? mas original pa kayo sa amin?
did they hire the same choreographer???
hahahaha just got time to watch the videos.......my goodness! walang identity......kawawa naman cla hahaha .....go DInagyang!
"did they hire the same choreographer???"
good question. sana malaman natin sagot
I am also an Ilonggo and I am dismayed that this Modelian tribe from Tondo was chosen by GMA's iWitness in one of its documentaries. And they didn't even bother to thank where they got this influences. Just watch this videos.
