#SANAOIL Event Mounted: Artistic Fight for Sovereignty

We've been on our toes (even more recently) as Filipinos when it comes to the obvious bullying and tyrannical try of other countries to own what properly belongs to us at the West Philippine sea. No surprise, a non-profit org called Pinoy Aksyon (Pilipino Aksyon for Governance and the Environment) together with KM64 (a writers collective) just recently came out with #SanaOil  (a performance event) to better inform us about what's happening out there through songs, dance, spoken poetry showcasing their different talents while giving focus to the cause. 

One of the activities include Spoken Word Slam Competition which talks about how we have sole proprietorship of not just the body of water, but the riches of the sea and everything underneath it #TubigatLangis. It was a time to hone speech for showcasing patriotism and a sensible call for action. KM64 artists also did "sabayang bigkas" with groups like Kalipaya Theater Group, YT famous Jong Madaliday, Fifty Per Hour, the Tanghalang Bagong Sibol (theater and dance company), Chiang Lion and Dragon Dancers, Hype, Justine Taller and the one and only Dalaygon Queen Lady Morgana of RPDRPH.

PinoyAksyon wants #SanaOil to become just the start in order to make Filipinos become part of more efforts through innate freedom of expression, environmental care, and the importance of the country's sovereignty. 

We need to have active participation now because we can't just stand around and do nothing while they continue to bully us. 

Eat, Pray, Love, Damuhan

I wish this was easy
But I'm sure it never will be
How can I get over someone like you
When I see you in my dreams as a MA LIG NO

 I go crazy
And wanted to even push you to the John
But I couldn't really do that 
I'd have to figure out the PANITIKAN

I promised them one by one
A leg or a limb; as much as we can
I don't know if it would work much of I am
But that's how they see it; their own LARAWAN

Bothered; wasting all my tears with all that
It maybe true, maybe just one KULISAP
Should I dare what all I have to say;
Maybe I'll try and do that some other day.

To tell you how I feel my love
Is more than what I could explain; go on;
 Does it matter that I'd lose a lot of blood?
Maybe so rather than eat my own GALUNGGONG

Can you give back my pride; down inside;
I don't know how but that's my HINUHA
Couldn't deal with it, hurting more; decide;
 Never want to live another ZARSUELA

It's always with friends that I feel so good;
A visit to a SILID-AKLATAN might shy away; understood.
I love the thought of coming come to you.
KAGAWARAN and all. Like a ray of light shining through.


If I live with love; flying like a SARANGGOLA
I'd be less confused of what I'll ever want to be
More than the love of Edward and Bella
Maybe then I'll be... one of you... and be your BAYANI
All that and more.. it'll happen someday
It'll be you, me... on the DAMUHAN.
GANYAN.

KUMAGCOW MOOOOSIC REVIEWS: DANITA KANE and their album WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE

I was not paying attention obviously because this old girl group that I liked way back when they were just created on a reality show just made miles of legwork and look at this particular video that REALLY made my hair stand literally.

Poetry is one of the singles that they have in the recent album Danity Kane - Welcome to the Dollhouse. These women are all talented. I mean look at the vocal ranges that they have. The 2 african american girls are outstanding and could probably stand on their own as divas like Fantasia Barrino of some sort. The 2 blonde ones are not far behind and look at them dedicate themselves on the length of the song instead of doing their own thing. This is really a good combination of highs and lows and a possible head reaching tone with that sort of latina middle of the road girl that has a distinct voice that you would recognize even in a chorus because its of a specific tone. I'm quite impressed by this particular performance, I'm going to buy their CD soon and probably download their videos too so I can play em all day in my Play Station Portable Slim. This is just going to be addicting I'm sure and the probable Last Song Syndrome I'm going to have in the shower is this Hahaha... I'll get Danita Kane anytime!
