Capul From Non-Natives' Eyes


Two of my recent site visitors were two foreigner guests of Capul.

Apparently, they have had good impressions on the island and they are promoting it to prospective investors.

They created sites, featuring Samar, and had specific pages for Capul. They are as follows:

    Peter & Jane, why do you want the future of the Capulanons to be poor, low educated and suffering from corruption, they deserve a chance to success the same as any other persons, they and many others are people that would like to eat, buy clothes and not live in Poverty, so if you would like to help, how about sending them some money, to help them? We are sure you have a nice dinner, place to sleep, money for education, you are outvoted, especially by the people we already help... Thanx for the comments, but please, think of the losses here without the help they ask for................

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...
