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!

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.
