This hard-earned victory is our greatest offering to the one who blessed us with talents worth sharing. Thank you, Lord, for keeping your faith in us and guiding our every step.
To Sr. San Bartolomew, our patron and protector, thank You for lighting our path and inspiring our devotion.
We are humbled and honored to be named Co-Champion alongside Calbayog City in this year’s Tandaya Festival of Festivals, a milestone in our history. Being co-champions reminds us that true victory is not measured by standing alone at the top, but by celebrating the shared excellence of all who gave their best. Greatness is even more meaningful when shared.
Our deepest gratitude to the 80 dancers, mostly proud members of the Katig Manarayaw Organization , to our radiant Festival Queen, Ms. Jhyry-Ross Yboa, who also brought home the Festival Queen crown, to our 16 props personnel, and to our dedicated ritualists: Katba, Laugan, and Asog. Despite late-night rehearsals, academic deadlines, and personal commitments, you endured, persisted, and poured your hearts into creating a production worth remembering.
To the The City Government of Catbalogan, led by the City Mayor Dexter Uy, and to the Catbalogan City Tourism, Culture, Arts & Information Office, thank you for pushing this representation to the 2025 Tandaya Festival of Festivals. To all other offices and volunteers who extended their unwavering support—CPYDO, CHO, CMO, CDRRMO, CLEAU, and more—this highest honor would not have been possible without you. May you continue to nurture and believe in the talents of our youth.
To TresMAA Production, our talented costume designer, and dedicated props artists, your creative vision, artistic brilliance, and exceptional skill became our winning edge. Thank you for leading with passion and dedication, and for bringing Tribu Katbalaugan back with a bang.
To the parents, the unseen pillars behind our performers, thank you for your patience and understanding. This winning piece is our gift to you, a performance that captured not only the hearts of Catbaloganons, but also audiences far beyond our city.

This sweet triumph rekindles memories of our Sinulog Grand Champion title in Street Dancing (2018), and our Aliwan Festival Back-to-Back Grand Championships (2016 & 2017). We hope to once again bring Catbalogan City and the Province of Samar to the national arena.
