The Concept of the Entry:
This is a dance who features a tribe who has a great curiosity on crabs and later on became an essential part oftheir culture.They highly valued crabs . But in the flow of the story their tribe was been attacked by strange visitors but because of their faith on Sto. Niño. their village was saved.

The characters of the tribe who mostly fetured in the dance...:
The Negritos: they are actually the villagers.. composed by the Delta Heatwaves as the archers
The pugitas: this are the lady negritos
The Negrito Warriors: This are the warriors of the negritos

Comments on Dinagsa 2005
"We wish to suggest that the next time they organize such compettition, they should invite "Judges
who specializes on this field and not just merely famous people, politicians or government officials".
They should invite experts. Take for example those people who has a great profile on this kind of genre
and is outside the vicinity of Negros Island." This is a crucial competition and it needs proper judging."
It is very frustrating that we see some of the judges do not even know how to dance or simply appreciate dance and unethical to see judges who are just within the vicinity of the locality.Thus people who has a deeper understabg ob performing arts are what we are reffering it.If this could happen all the time they organized this, they will always end up to more criticisms from the participants and will probably cause
disunity among the participats.Let us learn from the past compettitions and make a move to correct our past mistakes on organizing.
