“Win or lose, offering lang gyud ni amoa ug agi pasalamat kang SeƱor Sto. NiƱo (it’s an offering of gratitude to the Sto. NiƱo),” she said.

Orongon said their group, which is composed of 64 dancers and 96 props men, will arrive in the city tomorrow.

Panglao and Bogo will be among the 36 contingents that are joining Sunday’s grand parade.
