Via Crucis in Capul


This was early morning of Holy Saturday.

As per tradition, the people of Capul flock to the St. Ignatius' Church and from there kick off a procession around the poblacion. The stations of the cross are distributed in various corners of the town proper and in front of makeshift altars, the religious throng stops and prays.

Unlike previous years where the last station is the church itself, this time it was placed atop the hill overlooking the town, a place called "radyohan" among the locals. The wooden cross which was carried by the designated "apostoles" during the entire round stays there permanently until the next Holy Week.

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...

CPO Holds Operation Tuli

Image
Summertime, being the period off school, has always been the time for Filipino boys to go through the traditional rite of passage to manhood. Since the minor operation can be costly if done in the hospital, the Capul Pink Organization with the help of sponsors, came up with the Operation Tuli in Marikina. Iya to i mga tururion .... Aw sala. Yayto bali dina ... Dr. Ben Depaz gave his services for free. Operating Room assistants were Edwin Montopar and Mansuette Cabacang. Boy was the designated nurse, distributing the medicines after the critical cut. At me school supplies pa! Anxious parents and relatives were there too for moral support. Over-all coordinator was Alex Castillo while Buddy Flores served as hygiene assistant (in other words "tagahugas" ng mga medical equipment hehe). Sixteen boys got "cut" last Sunday and the others were scheduled for May 23. Donors to the activity were Marikina Mayoralty candidate Boy Bolok, Marie Michiko Eli-Freic (A...
