"Aloha!" From Hawaii (c/o Ms. Eurie Ampuan - ODonell)

Hawaii is said to be a pacific paradise - a claim not so far from the truth. It is indeed such a great place, whose island atmosphere can only remind one of our beloved Capul. R-yo is here for a week-long visit, with Ms. Eurie Ampuan-ODonell and children as very amiable hosts.


The pics featured here were mostly taken during the whale watching cruise off the Honolulu harbor. The first one was during a dinner on Waikiki Avenue with Eurie's Samoan friend, Finao.

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.
