Always On for Dinagyang

As drums begin to echo through the streets and colors flood Iloilo City, Dinagyang 2026 unfolds not only as a celebration of faith and heritage, but as a shared digital moment—powered quietly and reliably by Globe.

From January 23 to 25, the festival carries the theme “Bugay sang Ginoo, Bugal sang mga Ilonggo” (Blessings from God, Pride of the Ilonggos), a tribute to devotion, creativity, and community pride. As thousands of locals and visitors gather, Globe steps in behind the scenes, strengthening its network across key festival areas to ensure that connection keeps pace with celebration.

With boosted mobile and 5G coverage, Globe supports the surge in calls, messages, uploads, and livestreams that naturally come with Iloilo’s biggest event. Festival-goers can navigate busy streets, coordinate meet-ups, and instantly share photos and videos—turning every chant, dance, and smile into a moment felt far beyond the city.

This year, Globe partners with the Iloilo Festivals Foundation Inc. (IFFI), working closely with the official festival organizer to help deliver a smoother, more connected Dinagyang experience. The collaboration underscores Globe’s role not just as a service provider, but as an active supporter of local culture and celebration.

Adding to the energy are Globe’s partners, including Leslie Snacks, Jollibee, and GCash, who join in creating engaging and rewarding festival moments for the Iloilo community—proof that shared traditions are strongest when brands and communities move together.

For media and creators, Globe introduces an invite-only 5G Passport experience, complete with dedicated high-speed connectivity, upload zones, and livestream support. This setup allows journalists and content creators to tell Dinagyang stories in real time, showcasing how fast and reliable connectivity empowers modern storytelling.

The celebration reaches its musical peak with the G Music Festival on January 25 at Sunburst Park, featuring performances by Rob Deniel and The Dukes. Backed by Globe’s network, concert-goers can stream, post, and connect as the festival’s final beats play on.

Beyond concerts and coverage, Globe rolls out interactive on-ground and digital activities that invite participation and creativity—bringing Ilonggo identity to life through technology.

As Iloilo continues its rise as a digitally ready city, Globe remains committed to blending tradition with progress. This Dinagyang 2026, every cheer, prayer, and performance is easier to share—making the celebration not just seen, but truly experienced together.
