Bago City was once again alive with myths and legends as the 46th Charter Anniversary of the City was given the spectacle of the annual Babaylan Festival, a streetdance cum dance drama that features the central figure of the village shaman. Winning 4 of the minor awards and grabbing this year's Championship is the 3-barangay merger of Alianza, Malingin and Don Jorge. Tribu Madjal, as the group is called presented the urban legend of the Santermo and was awarded the Best in Choreography, Costume, Music and Streetdance.
The Babaylan Festival happens every 3rd week of February and is usually the Sunday nearest February 19, the city's Charter Anniversary.
