Lumad Basakanon

Lumad Basakanon is one of the famous Sinulog Contingents  nowadays. They won grand prize winner in the year 2004, 2005, 2007 and 2008 respectively.  In 2009 and 2010, the group settle second place.  There are mixed emotion had been released as the result came. Some would say that the group deserved to be the first, some said that the decision is right for nothing new to the group. Starting from costume, props, dance steps and formation. Perhaps, we can’t blame these people because at first glance, you can really look at it as the same. But the moment you observed it keenly, you can spot the difference. The only main problem in here is being narrow- minded. Some people didn’t understand the group’s origin. It is just the same with, people in Ifugao never uses the janggay, (is made up of brass plate that is used to extend the fingers ) while dancing and vice- versa in  Maguindano. People in Mindanao never wears a bahag. This is the principle applied in Lumad Basakanon.
