the celebrity hound with Alma Moreno

Councilor Alma Moreno was in Calbayog yesterday for a special meeting of the Samar chapter Philippine Councilor's League (PCL).

I know I am not a PCL member, but the celebrity hound in me told me to be at the Ciriaco Hotel and well, have my picture taken with Ms. Moreno.

The CKC-Jose Gomez Symphony Orchestra goes to Migara

The concert setting was a far cry from the concert halls they've been into. The were no gleaming floors like that of the Century Park Hotel, the enormous space of the Mall of Asia, the good acoustics of the Jaime Cardinal Sin Auditorium or the dignified air of a Poor Clare monastery.

The concert was held today at the basketball court of Migara, an interior Barangay of Calbayog, with simple folks (pardon the word) in attendance. But hey, the orchestra's performance under the baton of Fr. Marlowe Rosales, ofm was, well if I may borrow a (gay) term - performance level (redundant ano?).

And how about the Migara folks? A good number of them were in attendance and the Barangay officials came in full force. On the sidelights, some orchestra members interacted with the local youth via some short lectures and demo on the various instruments.

Here is the first set of pictures which I managed to take during the concert.

Just in case you'd be interested

Work is being done (again) at the Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral. This time it's the famuos dome that's being repaired.

Happy Valentine's Day. Nope, I don't have anything about Valentine's Day in Calbayog. I thought I'd like to share something which made me smile. It's a brand of battery which is kinda ticklish especially this time of the year when people or lovers are into cozy dinners, wine and well, your guess is as good as mine. Smile!

p.s. the battery is available in a local store Calbayog where they sell stuff imported from China.
