Keeping the Dinagyang spirit and energy alive on the same day is the participation of “My Ilonggo Girl” lead star, Star of the New Generation Jillian Ward, and her co-stars Michael Sager and Yasser Marta. This time, they are back in Iloilo City to thank their Ilonggo supporters in a love-filled Kapuso Fiesta happening at 6:30 p.m. at Festive Walk Iloilo.
