Lamiraw organizes ALAG

The Lamiraw Literary Arts Organization of the Tiburcio Tancinco Memorial Institute of Science and Technology (TTMIST) organized the Abaknon Literary Arts Guild (ALAG) on September 19, 2009 at the SB Hall of the Municipality of Capul, Northern Samar.

Hon. Mayor Ignacio Cascaño received the Lamiraw writers on September 18, 2009 at his office to formally welcome and thank the effort made by the Calbayognon creative writers.

Mr. Harold L. Mercurio, the Lamiraw convenor, spearheaded the said activity which was participated in by students and teachers from Capul Central Elementary School (CCES), Capul Agro-Industrial School (CAIS) and the Local Government Unit (LGU). The election of officers of ALAG followed after a lecture on “Poetry: Traditional and Modern Writing” by Mr. Mercurio. A translation activity of the poems “Bump Cars” and “Ayaw Pagpudla an Tuog” from Waray to Inabaknon was also done as part of the output of the participants.

With a total of twenty five members, ALAG elected thirteen officers. They were as follows:

President, Hon. Marlon Mente; Vice President, Rhea Sauro; Secretary, Milen Esteria; Treasurer, Leonila Salazar; PIO, Nimfa Saluib; Bus. Mngrs., Patrick Chad Ablig and Marvic Sauro; Auditor, Narcessa Ann Largo; LGU Cluster Head, Mrs. April Cascaño; CAIS Cluster Head, Mrs. Teodora Gaco; CCES Cluster Head, Mrs. Virgenia Gasid; D’ Islanders Cluster Head, Mrs. Celia Catucod; and ALAG Monitoring Coordinator, Reza Magdaraog.

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.
