First of all, I would like to say thank you to everyone who helped us, especially our painters who started working at 5:00 AM and continued until night. Thank you for choosing Barangay Cogon.
Second, to our palaban trainor, Sir Aldwin Briones. Thank you, Sir, for always choosing to teach us. You’ve been our trainor since we were in elementary. You truly are a trainor who never ages. We will surely miss you, Sir! 🫶🥹
Special thanks also to Sir Jeralf and Jamaica. Thank you for never leaving us since day one. Grupo Hinugdanan will surely miss you both. 🥹
Third, a huge thank you to Kons Ricky Solo for tirelessly looking after the dancers. And to our drivers, Kons Mike Gabay and Kons Verulo Tayco,
thank you for always ensuring the dancers get home safely.
Fourth, to our volunteers who prepared the food for the dancers. Thank you! Your help meant the world to us. 🫶🫡
Fifth, to all our sponsors, I won’t mention each of you by name, but thank you so much. ❤
Especially to Sir Tong Tumaca and SK Ela D. Solano , thank you for always being there and for never getting tired of helping the kids. Even though it was just us supporting one another, we managed to get through everything.
And thank you, Cogon Barangay Council .
And lastly, to my fellow dancers and members of Grupo Hinugdanan, thank you for your dedication and hard work. We proved that even though we are simple people, we have what it takes to compete and give an amazing performance. I am so proud of each and every one of you! 👏🙌
We may not have brought home the crown this time, but what matters most is that we stood together and stayed strong. The real victory is in our unity.
THANK YOU, GRUPO HINUGDANAN! 💚
Bira Cogon!
Bira Grupo Hinugdanan! 🙌
