Updates on the Verdict


4:30 p.m. Manila Time

Until now, no definite news has come from Capul.

All I can post here now are some of the tidbits I have so far gathered. I will just edit this post every time I hear something new.

As of this morning …

Atty. Ignacio Bandal won over Ian Castillo by about 80 votes. The critical votes were said to have come from San Luis which was traditionally Castillo country. Atty. Bandal won by more than 100 votes in San Luis and received the usual overwhelming support from Sawang and Landusan.

Early news circulating today claimed that Jeffrey Suan beat Ignacio Cascaño by about 30 votes. But later in the day, after the unofficial tally was re-checked, it turned out that Mr. Cascaño actually won by more than a hundred votes.

As to the councilors, its 6-2 in favor of the Castillo Group. The two who made it were Letlet Catucod and Milagros Manaog. Igning Magloyuan fell to number 9, only 7 votes behind Mrs. Manaog.
(caveat: the figures I am citing here are not official. I will try to get the official version as soon as possible)

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.

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.

Editorial: A Future For Sale

Note: This post is the Administrator's take on how the recent elections went. Fair comments are welcome. From how I saw it, it was indeed an impressive election. It definitely was more peaceful than the most recent ones. Automation made the process exciting (or worrisome) but at the same time challenging. Truly, it was heartwarming to see people brave the punishing summer heat and the tiring wait just to be able to cast their votes. There is no doubt in my mind that the results reflected the Abaknons’  true democratic will. However, why they voted for whom is an entirely different issue.  I wish to think that in the final analysis, they did vote with the thought of what’s best for Capul. But even with that, any voter who receives money during election time still compromises his vote.  While I do not wish to rob the winners of the glory of their victory, I bet that the aftertaste of their win would have been much sweeter if they (again, i mean ALL of them) did not gi...
