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.

This group won Best in Costume and Best in Performance Showcase for the barangay-based competition.

La Estudiantina Capulena

This, fellow Capulenos is something we should be truly proud of. The dance we have always claimed to be our very own, was featured in a Dance Symposium, and is now being shown in youtube. The caption reads: “This is one of the three available versions of Philippine Estudiantina dances, popular in its broken Spanish name, "Estudiantina de Capuleño". 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.

This was one of the entries for the school-based category. Coming from the Landusan National High School, the team was composed mainly of boys.
