Tribu Ilongganon of Jalandoni Memorial High School bags the Dinagyang Festival 2007 Ati competition over-all champion crown for the second year. Tribu Kahilwayan of Sta. Barbara is this years over-all champion for the Kasadyahan competition.

Everybody agrees that this year's Dinagyang tribe performances improved with Tribu Taga-Jaro demonstrating the biggest jump in ranking - from 10th place last year to 2nd place this 2007. I would say those T-Backs did wonders for them.

Even with better performance, other tribes was not able to unseat the defending champions Tribu Ilongganon. Tribu Ilongganon bested them all with their injection of fresh approach of adding pieces of their costume during the performance.

Tribu Tultugan of Maasin, on the other hand, failed to secure their crown as Kasadyahan defending champion and relinquish it to Tribu Kahilwayan who did a very good job of telling their story of independence in an impeccable manner with the accompanying drum and bugle band.
