Abaknon Festival: Tribu Magbibintol


This is the entry of Barangay San Luis to the street dancing contest. Representing one of their major livelihood - catching crabs, the team members brought along their traps and would you believe, live crabs!

And while most of the other teams were composed of the young ones, this group managed to gather the participation of many senior community members. That deserves our congratulations!

This team won Best in Street Performance.

    To anonymous: I have to reject your comments because they are tasteless. I understand if you have something to say as regards the candidates, but please remember that you are not dealing here with Ms. Universe beauties. We should just appreciate the participants' effort to showcase Abaknon beauty. On the winners, i think you should know that the final ranking was based on the answers given during the final interview. Back to zero na i grades after the top 3 were selected. I am pretty convinced that the final result was fair and right.

And here are raw video clips of their performance.

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...
