Are our standards as Boholano people deteriorating?
Has Tagbilaran City's brand of friendliness gone completely down the drain?
Why is the celebration this bad?
Why are all the stands in front of the city hall? Why not at the pier where it used to be? For goodness' sake, na-mura na man intawon ug piryahan na diha dapita uy! The city hall looks very degraded with all the "banderitas" and what not.
Moreover, kanang Miss Bohol Sandugo, na-unsa na man na? It has almost completely lost its symbolism already. Di na lang ko mo-state sa akong reasons kay ambot! Lisod na! I think you all get the point.
PLUS, LET ME POINT OUT A HUGE IRONY: Why are there stands selling pirated DVDs there? Atubangan pa jud na sa city hall ha! Atubangan! Why did they allow that? Kahibaw mo, kagwang jud na'ng mga tao nga kusog kaajo mo-implement sa ilang own quasi-draconian policies and yet mu-neglect na lang anang pagka-simple nga "INTERNATIONAL" anti-piracy law. They are setting a terrible example to the public!
Grabe! Wa na 'ju'y sense of culture and heritage ni nga Celebration. It's supposed to be the commemoration of an earth-shaking milestone that took place in our province centuries ago. The blood compact. "'san dugo". But tan-awa ra gud na'ng blurb sa festival website.
http://sandugo.tagbilaran.gov.ph/2008/bsfi.php There is nothing here that speaks in line with what's supposedly being celebrated. Puros tourism ek-ek. Well, there's nothing wrong with tourism but at least man lang
bisan tu-od ug kahibaw sila nga kahibaw na ang tana'ng tao ug para-asa na'ng Sandugo Festival, di 'jud gihapon angay i-leave-out uy! Aber, in that kind of analogy, di na lang kintahay magdala ug passport sa airport inig-larga sa lai'ng nasud kay confident na kaayo ka-ila na ang tana'ng tao? Think about it. It seems nga this celebration is happening just for the sake of festivities. Festival na lang gani, di na celebration.
Goodness gracious! What's happening to us? What's happening to Tagbilaran City? Nakahinomdom pa mo sa time nila Gardy Labad and such people? Although he had his shortcomings, he did something great to Bohol that would never be forgotten. He helped put Bohol on top of the list. But where is this kind of spirit now? Wala na 'ju'y traces. What ever happened to all the cultural fuss I used to enjoy as a little kid? The LCC concerts at The Metro Centre, the golden singing voice of Da Maris singing Bisaya songs, "Dagon sa Hoyohoy", "The Oracle", "El Indio Bravo", and what not. Asa na man ni'ng mga butanga? Wa na'y kaya? Crisis? Hah! That's such a lame excuse!
Forgive me sa tanan nga na-affected sa akong statements. Nothing personal.
Don't get angry kay tinu-od ni! The veracity of this is indubitable! Basta kay wa ko ganahi ani 'ron!
To say that I'm appalled right now is a sheer understatement! Ambot na lang 'jud!
