KAMB Sends Kalibo Ati Atihan Contingent
To Sandugo Festival

The Kalibo Ati-Atihan Management Board (KAMB) chaired by Mayor Raymar A. Rebaldo is set to participate in the 2006 Sandugo Festival in Tagbilaran City, Bohol on July 23, 2006. The Kalibo Ati-Atihan delegation left Kalibo at noon yesterday, July 21, 2006, for Iloilo City. They rode on the boat for Cebu City and then transferred to a supercat heading for Tagbilaran City.
The Ati-Atihan contingent had their costumes refitted and newly painted, drums and lyres tuned and with the preparation made, the delegation organizers beam with pride and confidence. The delegation consists of 129 Kalibo Ati-Atihan members.
This trip is the second time to Bohol that the Kalibo Ati-Atihan is having. They have been invited and went to perform in Tagbilaran City last year. This time, KAMB has added something special to impress the Boholanos. It tells the story of the origin of the Kalibo Ati-Atihan by staging the full-regalia re-enactment of the Barter of Panay.
The Kalibo Ati-Atihan Festival delegation is expected to wow the crowds and encourage the Boholanos and tourists to attend the fast approaching Kalibo Ati-Atihan Festival on the 3rd week of January 2007.
