Twin Notices

Notice No. 1
The UP Department of Archaelogy will open tomorrow, Tuesday, July 10, 2007 at 5:00 pm a cultural exhibit at the UP Jorge Vargas Museum. Dubbed “Capul, Palingnga Kaw?”, the exhibit will feature the research conducted by Dr. Kiko Datar and his students who I heard stayed in our island for some time that most of them have become quite acquainted with the language.

I’m excited to know what they discovered. So Capuleños, please spare time for this activity and let’s be proud of our heritage.

See you all there!
Notice No. 2

And here are raw video clips of their performance.

Abaknon Festival: Tribu Paragmalli

Image
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.

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...
