bitaw sab no....maayo sab bitaw atong tan-awon kon kanus-a ta nagsugod pagkaulipon sa atong asawa, ug kon nganong i -celebrate pod na nato..
hehe, right on, bugs. mao bitaw mag-celebrate pod mi sa among pagkaulipon sa among mga bana.
by the way, i believe sandugo is a celebration of something that had happened that changed the course of our nation, for good or ill. people tend to celebrate milestones. we observe dates that end wars. (we do not ask why we observe the day when the body count of the war's dead confronts us.) we don't question celebrations or observances like birthdays and death anniversaries. (why do we celebrate the fact that we're older and nearer the grave? why do we observe the day when tragedy such as a loved one's demise had happened?)
we mark important dates by observing or celebrating that which had happened, as in the case of sandugo, which is undeniably an event that is part of our history as a nation no matter how way we look at it.
