KALIBO, Aklan – For the seventh straight year, Black Beauty Boys outperformed other Tribal Big groups to take home the P180,000 grand prize in the Sadsad contest of the Ati-Atihan Festival on Saturday.

Thirty tribes and groups and 11 individuals competed for titles and P963,000 in total cash prizes in various Sadsad categories.

The contenders and the spectators, including Child Jesus devotees, braved the rain just to witness the competition, said Albert Menez, chairman of the festival organizer Kalibo Sto. Niño Ati-Atihan Foundation, Inc.

Bannered by 80 street dancers in vibrant-colored costumes, Black Beauty Boys got the nod of judges in eight judging areas.

“The strong devotion and sadsad panaad of Black Beauty Boys to Señor Santo Niño despite the rain steered them to victory,” said Lucas Francisco, leader of the tribe from Barangay Linabuan Norte.

Vikings of Barangay Dumga, Makato town, placed second and took home P100,000, while Kabog of Barangay Estancia, Kalibo, settled for third place and P60,000.

Consolation prizes went to Maharlika of Dumga, Makato; Pangawasan of Cayangwan, Makato; and Tribu Tiis-Tiis of New Buswang, Kalibo. They received P20,000 each.

Other Tribal Big groups were D’Kamanggahan of Poblacion, Makato, and Tribu Timawa of Andagao, Kalibo. They got P15,000 each.

In Tribal Small, Tribu Alibangbang – also of Linabuan Norte, Kalibo – was declared champion and got P80,000.

Last year’s champion Tribu Bukid Tigayon settled for second place and P50,000, while Tribu Responde of New Buswang, Kalibo won third place and P40,000.
