Today, Sinulog 2008 Free-Interpretation champ and Cebu’s pride Lumad Basakanon of Basak Pardo performed for the people who supported them tirelessly – the people of Pardo, Cebu City. A few other contingents joined the festivities to honor the Holy Child – Sr. Sto. Niño.
The entire event became a sort of Meet-and-Greet as fans were able to interact and communicate with the members of the group.
Two members getting the carabao in place.
Ate forcing his younger brother to touch the carabao.
Excited fans not minding the blazing heat.

The man behind Lumad Basakanon – Mr. Rama.

And the dancers are ready.
And just when I thought I would finally be able to see their performance live and upclose, they started dancing facing the opposite direction. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! LOL
After their performance, USJ-R’s Boy Scouts also performed their halad.
Complete with props na sila ha. Hehehe.
More contingents were waiting outside. They even had higantes.

Well i really enjoy watching the pictures of lumadbasakanon. I am very proud all of basakanon especially me that i am from basak bontores, which basakanon pud.. i wish i could be there to watch the sinulog pud. But i can see all basakanon are very happy. More power to you guys!!!!!!Congratulations!! Especially, to Norman Navarro and Dennis Navarro.

Thank You very much Miss Marites Navarro Butler, clingan ra diay ta, pero layo2x lang ang amo kay atbang man sa holy cross amo, hehehe,
I kinda wonder….are your somehow related to our choreographer? hehehehe
Yup!! were second degree cousin. You know what! I always check on your website whats new of basakanon like news or balita ba. Coz,i im very far away from phils. I’m in Oregon USA. Kaming taga Basakanon dire States were very proud pud sa taga basakanon.
The “lingi gamay beh” photo caught my attention. It is very reminiscent of Vermeer’s famous painting “Girl with a Pearl Earring” – see the picture in this link and you’ll see what I mean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girl_with_a_Pearl_Earring
Daghan kaayong salamat mam, we know we cant be on this place today if it weren’t for all the people who believes in the talents of basakanons…. especially u.
before every performance we make, one of our strength is the screams we hear…cheering for us, that’s what motivates us to do it with all our heart. Then we say…”We are proud to be Lumad Basakanons” i just wish u were also here to celebrate it with us mam, so that i could get to know u too, hehehe
Again Thank you! in behalf of all the dancers of Lumad Basakanon, our choreographers, the committee, and all the people of basak. God Bless You and your Family….and Take care always,
