EGM Celebrates 10 Years of Camaraderie

E Grupo Mo, or more popularly known as EGM, celebrated last week its 10th anniversary.  It turned out to be one huge success, as members from everywhere came in droves. Some of those who arrived were from outside Metro Manila, and of course some took time and effort to come from Capul (e.g. Vice Mayor Rene Pasco, Kgd. Marlon Mente and Mr. Elmer Gaco).



The EGM was formed by a group of Abaknons cored by a close barkada. It has evolved thru the years into a bond that unites the members both in times of extreme challenges and wild fun. This year's celebration comes in the form of thanksgiving for the safe passage and quick recovery from the pain that covered Marikina a few months back. 


To the organizers of EGM, congratulations for the blockbuster party.

After 10 years of friendship, now comes the challenge:  Is it not about time that  EGM becomes  a formal organization that could engage in worthwhile projects for our kababayans? If the show of strength during the anniversary is used as gauge, the group surely is a force to reckon with. Food for thought ...

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...
