The Ati tribe competition is the heart of Iloilo’s Dinagyang Festival: contingents in soot-darkened warrior paint, feathered headdresses and Santo Niño images dance through the city streets in honour of the Child Jesus, drums pounding from the parade route to the judging areas. These photos are from the Ati Tribe Competition at the Dinagyang Festival 2018.
