BALON DAGUPAN NEWS
SIX clustered barangays will compete in the featured Gilon-Gilon ed Baley on April 21 as part of the Dagupan Bangus Festival 2017.
This year’s Gilon-Gilon will be chaired by Punong Barangay Julie Ann Perez of Barangay Pantal. (Barangay Pantal is excluded in this year’s competition, being a hall of famer for winning the title of the Gilon-Gilon Street Dancing for three consecutive Bangus Festivals).

The participants are: Cluster 1 – Salisay, Mangin, Bolosan, Tebeng, Mamalingling and Tambac; Cluster 2 – Bonuan Gueset, Bonuan Binloc, and Bonuan Boquig; Cluster 3 – Calmay, Carael, Salapingao, Lomboy and Pugaro.

The winner in the Gilon-Gilon will earn the right to represent the city in the Festivals of the North, a battle of Festivals’ All-Star Street Dancing winners from other provinces and municipalities set, on April 28.
To date, eight have already signified their intention to join the Festivals of the North 2017: Tinungbo Festival of Pugo, La Union; Dinamulag Mango Festival of Masinloc, Zambales; Pamulinawen of Laoag, Ilocos Norte; Pindangan Festival of San Fernando, La Union; Halamanan Festival of Guiguinto, Bulacan; Abel-Iloko Festival of Caoayan, Ilocos Sur; Goat Festival of Balungao, Pangasinan; and Damili Festival of San Nicolas, Ilocos Norte.
