One LovE: Season 2 - A Mindanao Wide Dance Battle

Dancing is of different style and genre, but of all it's diversity we LOVE only one same thing, DANCING. - Biboy

One Love dance battle is a result of a passionate heart, the kind of heart that is of a Sunny Boy Linan aka as Biboy, the founder together with Mr. Rodel Redondo with his dance crew, ICI Groovers aka Crimed Bacs. After the success of One Love's 1st season last year 2013, the group is motivated to do more the following year, 2014. Which then led to the event Last February 2, 2014 at Tagoloan Dome.

Getting to Know the Founder, Biboy.



A 22-year old Father of a very charming 1-year old cutie patootie. He started his humble beginning as an amateur dancer under Young Bloodz on his 1st year in high school, dancing on school activities and few dance contest. Biboy then became a member of Extreme Exposure, with the help of his mature and skilled groupmates, this is when he get the hang dancing. He is then motivated to do more in dancing because of the consistent winning of the group even on prestige dance competitions, bagging awards  during the peak of techno dancing.

In his college, He was able to found a dance group in Mindanao University of Science and Technology (MUST), STREET ALIENS which also made a name in Hip Hop dancing. During his stay in Insitute College of Iligan (ICI) he founded a dance group named ICI Groovers aka Crimed Bacs. A group that was able to have a name in dancing after a series of winning champions in Hip Hop competitions all over Mindanao from 2010-present.

As one of the event’s staff, I personally do appreciate young people like Biboy and his crew who really choose to exert effort to create such event. The event is not a piece of cake. The preparations, the drawbacks, the misunderstandings and the delays is a stroll in a park, Jurassic Park. But the group endured and was able to render a good show. 

IN WHICH WE ESPECIALLY THANK (Even though a “THANK YOU” is not enough for their big-time support) THE PEOPLE BEHIND ONE LOVE:

The office of The Provincial Tourism Office headed by Governor Yevgeny “Bambi” Emano who never fails to amaze us with his coolness and enthusiasm over our proposal. Mayor Paulino Yap Emano who really made the best way for us to be catered by the Provincial Tourism Office. The Dancers from all-over Mindanao, the people of Tagoloan and the audiences. THE VENT WOULD NOT BE THAT GRAND WITHOUT YOUR WILLINGNESS TO HELP. THANK YOU!
