Judge Ampuan in the US


I received a surprise e-mail from Bernard Ortego who is now based in Reno, Nevada. I never really expected such an honor (smile). Of course, sino ba ang hindi nakakakilala sa "the Bernard Ortego".

Per his account, he met with Judge Freddie Ampuan who is now in the U.S. for the World Jurists Association special conference in LA. And as it is for all Filipinos, more so Abaknons, the visit of a kababayan becomes a reason for getting-together.

Apparently, Bernard too is a regular visitor of Bandilyo Abaknon.

“Judge Ampuan is now visiting all the Capulenos and I was proud of telling him that you have this web site. Good job and hope you will continue to share your ideas and experiences in life as a new lawyer..kaka inggit ka..it looks to me ur having fun there /seeing places, meeting beautiful people."

Of course I just cannot pass the opportunity of having their pictures posted here. In the slide show are Judge Ampuan and his wife, with Bernard of course, Ester Castillo, Potot Pelito, Lolita Magdaraog and her husband Dwayne, Ver and her husband, Mana Mina Cula and Minda Caimol.

Abaknon Festival: Tribu Paragmalli

If Brgy. San Luis brought crabs, this group brought a stand-out animal - the Pinoy beast of burden. But huge it may have been, it was not able to steal the thunder away from the real stars of the show - the street performers. This group won Best in Costume and Best in Performance Showcase for the barangay-based competition.

La Estudiantina Capulena

This, fellow Capulenos is something we should be truly proud of. The dance we have always claimed to be our very own, was featured in a Dance Symposium, and is now being shown in youtube. 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. The dance could have derived its name from "estudiantina" which is the all-string band that plays the dance music in the many 'baylihan' during the Spanish colonial period. The estudiantina is more popular as the 'rondalla'. It is also called 'tuna' and 'murga'. In fact, in the present day Spanish world, the term used is either tuna or estudiantina.

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.
