Friday the 13th

while riding the bus to work, narinig ko ito (not in verbatim form)...

" tomorrow is Kalibogan Day! in Kidapawan, Cotabato"…

ha?!...sorry?!...come again!

naudlot ang pagmumuni-muni ko sa sinabi ni timothy goh. btw, timothy goh (not in any way related to the outgoing PM), along with jennifer alejandro, ay mga kabayan nating anchor sa morning news ng channel news asia, which is based here in singapore.

i'm proud of these guys! proud sila sa pagiging pinoy nila, and they really show it. si timothy ay yung parang bading (pls confirm nga!) na elitistang pinoy. si jennifer naman, ay yung naka-affair ng indian newscaster na nakabase rin dito sa singapore, na nakulong dahil sa may minolestyang babae. hinalikan raw yung "kuwan" ng babae tapos, 'di "itinuloy". dinemanda tuloy sya!

parang tsismoso ang dating ko ah! okay balik tayo sa kalibogan...

So, what I did, was look at the TV screen (first in the world daw ito…sabi) to confirm what I just heard.

ahhhhh….

August 14 marks the celebration of the Kalibongan Festival. Kalibongan is a manobo term for a Grand Festival which is celebrated yearly in Kidapawan, Cotabato. The Manobos, Bagobos, and other highland tribes from the different parts of the province go down to Kidapawan to show off and proudly display their tradition and cultural heritage. The natives display thier own version of "party" with a traditional horsefight, a "blood compact" peace ceremony, etc.

which reminds me, friday nga pala ngayon. pwedeng mag-puyat!

hmmm…..makapanghuli nga ng palakang may buhok...
