Skydayawan: SkyCable Davao's coverage of the 24th Kadayawan Festival



Davao is celebrating the 24th Kadayawan Festival and everyone's excited to participate in the festival's many events. Although the Kadayawan Festival officially started last August 17, the festival highlights are the much-awaited Indak Indak sa Kadalanan (Street Dancing Competition and Mindanao Festival Showcases) and Pamulak Kadayawan (Floral Float and Parade Competition) which will take place today (Aug. 22) and tomorrow (Aug. 23), respectively.

Some of my blogger friends will embark on a two-day photoshoot to cover Davao City's 24th Kadayawan Festival and while I want to watch the Indak Indak sa Kadalanan, I am still undecided whether to be downtown to watch the event or just stay home and watch SkyCable Davao's coverage of the Kadayawan Festival.

In a press conference I attended at Dencio's Hilltop last August 22, SkyCable launched "Skydayawan", SkyCable's program covering the Kadayawan Festival. In attendance during the media conference were the SkyCable staff and crew, members of the press, Davao bloggers, and Skydayawan hosts Jojie Alcantara, Skip O'Jack, and Bamboo Domingo. After the actual press con, the attendees were treated to a sumptuous lunch of Filipino dishes courtesy of Dencio's Dorelane Uy-Bosquit.
