July 27, 2025, marked an unforgettable moment Sandugo as a first-time dancer, as we show our talents, teamwork, passion to dance, energy, and discipline. Competing in the Sandugo Festival in Tagbilaran City, we are proudly present as Hiyas Quinale, and we are aiming to showcase the beauty of Anda, talents, and passion in dance. With the support of the LGU and led by Mr. Rouvien De Guzman Anda, tourism manager, and our very own mayor, Angelina Simacio, what made it remarkable was that it was my first time joining as a Sandugo dancer, and Anda got the place, which is 4th place. This experience encourages me to continue joining the Sandugo Festival as a dancer.
Being a first-time dancer in the Sandugo Festival is not easy because there are so many challenges. In practicing dance, first we gather all to pray; second, we do warm-up exercises so we won’t get tired easily and so we can sweat; and the last one is that we start to practice our dance step by step.
The night we've all been waiting for, the competition was intense, with the talented contingent municipalities of Loboc, Loay, Dimiao, Getafe, and Tagbilaran City bringing the beauty of their own towns. With every dance we enjoy and every one we show that is unique, we knew that Hiyas Quinale had something different that created beauty and was special.
This experience taught me the value of hard work, teamwork, and confidence. Being part of the Sandugo Festival inspired me to keep dancing and to proudly represent Anda in future festivals. I also learned that being a first-timer is not easy. We feel fear and are afraid of making mistakes. However, trust and compassion within us help build confidence and beauty in the way we dance with grace. Do not be afraid if it is your first time. Nothing bad will happen if you try. Always trust yourself.
