Patron Marikina

Like it were an extension of Capul, our kababayans in Marikina have always celebrated the last Sunday of April as their fiesta. And when I say fiesta, it means that kind that we celebrate in the provinces - endless booze, unlimited food and lots of fun.
I went to Mana Edna Timogtimog's residence quite late. When I arrived, the singing was in full swing. Jay Luñiza was strumming the guitar like crazy and Ramil Dugan was leading the chorus of all those in the circle of drinkers who seem to know all the lyrics.
Visitors came and went. To think that it was night time already. I can only imagine how things went earlier in the day.
Here are some of the pictures I snapped.

This group won Best in Costume and Best in Performance Showcase for the barangay-based competition.

The caption reads: “This is one of the three available versions of Philippine Estudiantina dances, popular in its broken Spanish name, "Estudiantina de Capuleño". The proper term should have been "La Estudiantina Capuleña". This dance is simply called Estudiantina in the other towns in Samar where it is also popular.

Tribu Mananguete: Landusan Boys

This was one of the entries for the school-based category. Coming from the Landusan National High School, the team was composed mainly of boys. Coached by Mr. Oniel Pelito, they wore coconut leaves woven like skirts as they simulated the tuba-gatherers. This group proved to be the most colorful and playful of the lot. And here are raw video clips of their performance.
