SOS-Calbayog is one of the private institutions in Calbayog that has actively participated in the Earth Hour events. And they did it again this year. They presented what has become one of the highlights of this yearly event - the "Hand-Play Presentation".


Here's my raw video of that presentation performed by some youth from SOS - Calbayog City. This was part of the Earth Hour 2012 event spearheaded by LGU-Calbayog City. The event was held at the Calbayog City Hall stage earlier tonight.

The celebrity hound struck again

We saw her at the office of my cousin. I thought she was just another kid. That is until I noticed how she behaved and talked with the employees - straight English (much, much better than the local doctor teachers I know, or I've heard), good manners and yes, she can sing. As it turned out, she was one of the Promil I-Shine kids which has a show on GMA Channel 7. So? Well, her dad Archival Rojas is from Oquendo and her mom Venice Ygrubay - Rojas is from Tinambacan. Did the kid impress me? Let's put it this way, I made sure I had my picture taken with her.

it's been 40 days

It has been forty days since Mayor Ining Uy was murdered. A Mass and a Prayer Rally has been scheduled today at the Uy mausoleum and in Catbalogan City, respectively.

As we observe the traditional "pa-kwarenta" for our beloved late Mayor, I would like to share a video tribute made by Jonas Lim.

A song for Mayor Uy

Among the songs sung during the funeral of Mayor Uy was "Pilipinas, Mahal Kong Bayan". It was performed the group of young people known as the CACO ISKOLARS. As the name of the group implies, these kids go to school by being scholars of the LGU through the City Arts and Culture Office.

Here's a video of the group as they rehearsed the song.

Break anay: Hawaii Five-O

Nahimdum pa kam sini? I remember watching this over our old black and white TV with hazy reception which gets blurred when the rooftop antenna moves. Yup, cable TV was something very futuristic at that time. After 30 years, the show (read one of my happy childhood memories) will be back on TV via AXN at 9:00 tonight.

Let me give you two YouTube vids: the Original and the 2010 opening credits. Compare and you'll be pleased to see quite a few shots that will look oh so familiar!
