LORDS Brothers Champions!




 
They swept the elimination round (6-0) but got a devastating first game loss in the finals against a determined Barangay 4 team.

Touted as the team to beat, a second loss would have meant a bridesmaid finish and a stinging humiliation.



But the team proved worthy of the high regard that was accorded them. First they made sure they get a chance to level the playing field by winning game 2.  After that, the team poured its mighty strength to secure victory.


The final game became a virtual showcase of the team’s individual strengths. Deciding not to give its opponent another chance to pull a heist in the end game, they made the runs from the first whistle. In the first quarter, they were already ahead by 24 points. 

The hotshots of Brgy. 4 tried to claw back in spurts, but the efforts proved not enough. In the end, LORDS Brothers triumphed and became this Fiesta's Seniors Champions.

The players were:


Luis “Pungay” Magloyuan, Jr.
Joery Cabacang
Alejandro “Magna” Castillo
Jero Tan
Carlo Manaog
Beejay Pornelos
Raffy Catucod
Concon Cabatingan
Oneil Pelito
Boyet Corollo
Bobby Galosmo
Ervin “Otoy” Castillo
Gary Salazar
Adrian “Badong” Manaog
Majin “Dags” Vinas


Unfortunately, no individual awards were given.

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...
