My Ten-Seconds of Fame

When Kuya Avel asked me to take part in making the political TV ad of Mayor Jun Acharon, I never had any inkling that it would be a role in front of the camera.  When I read the script, I discovered it was in bisaya.  Now, I understand the language very well but when I speak bisaya, it has a tagalog accent, if you catch my drift.  Meaning, it will sound bad.

Matagal ko nang kilala si Jun Acharon

Magkasama kaming naglingkod sa P.R.E.X.

Pareho kaming deboto ng Poong Santo Niño

The Local Political Scene

The word on the streets is that the incumbent Mayor Jun Acharon and Representative Darlene Antonino-Custodio will give their challengers a beating come May 10.  Thanks to strong name recall and a sturdy party organization, both officials remain to be  the number one choice of the common voter.  Click here to read entire post…

Noynoy Was In Gensan

Nung binalitaan ako ni Mayor Jun na mula sa airport ay tutuloy si Noynoy Aquino sa pageant night ng Queen of Mindanao Festivals, nataranta ako.  Una dahil number one fan ako ni Cory, na nanay ni Noynoy.  Gusto ko syang makita ng personal!  Pangalawa, hindi ako sigurado kung mapupuno ko ang atrium ng Robinson’s Place para hindi naman magmukhang nilalangaw ang pagbisita nya.  Pangatlo, napigtas ang hook ng pants ko at hindi ako nakapag-belt!  Panic attack talaga ako!

Air Supply Invades Gensan

the concert stage, beautifully-lit and eye-catching

The Air Supply of our wonder years captured the hearts of everyone during a two-hour, non-stop, heart-stopping wallop of a concert at the Gensan Gym in Lagao last night.  It was indeed a night to remember.  As Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock sang their songs, we all sang-along with them.  Each of their song brought back so many good memories that I would bet my bottom-peso that there was not one dry-eyed spectator that night.

Plaza Heneral Santos Binuksan Na

Mararamdaman mo ang excitement ng taga-Gensan nung di pa binubuksan ang plaza.  Ilang beses ding na-postpone ang binabalak na opening dahil sa kung anik-anik na dahilan.  Kesyo kailangang kumpleto ang mga ilaw.  Kesyo ginagawa pa ang fountain.  Kesyo tinatapos pa ang landscaping.  Ano kaya ang magiging porma ng bagong plaza?   Sa mahigit na anim na buwang binuno ito, ang misteryo ng plaza ay lalo lang lumaki.  Hindi na pinagusapan ang halaga nito.  Para sa taga-Gensan, sapat na ang pagnanasang magkaroon ng honest-to-goodness tambayan  ng masa.

Moi, Mark Herras, Kuya Avel, Cora Tito

I’m a movie fan by heart.  When GMA 7 introduced STARSTRUCK a few years back, my bet was on a unassuming guy named MARK HERRAS.  I spent good money and text-voted for him.  Click here to read entire post…
