An Acomplishment

I just remembered the day we won in a competition last 2006 at SM. It's a jingle making competition. Here is the details from the UIC homepage announcements.

“MINDANAO, KAYANG-KAYA NATIN ‘TO”
WINS FIRST PLACE IN JINGLE CONTEST

UIC Music Program’s entry to the HIMIG MINDANAW Jingle Contest held at SM Davao last Saturday, June 10, 2006 wins first place in composition, performance and costume.

The winning entry with the title “MINDANAO, KAYANG-KAYA NATIN ‘TO” was composed and arranged by UIC Music Program’s 4th year student Richard Samuel M. Deligero and performed by selected members of the UIC Chorale. The performers for the piece were trained by Zandro Espada, UIC Chorale’s choir director.

The contest which was sponsored by the US Embassy and Mindanao Advocacy and participated in by eleven finalists has for its objective the unification of the diverse indigenous cultures in Mindanao.



The man in the left corner wearing blue native dress is no other than me! hehe... Followed by Hanna, Carl and the one wearing muslim costume - he is our soloist.

I was singing the base part, Hanna for the girl voice and Carl for tenor.

It was such a nice experience.

Hope it won't fade, like this blog maybe in the future.

Smallest monkey in the world.

The Philippine Tarsier and the Tarsier in general is believed to be the world’s smallest monkey.

This cute little Philippine Tarsier Monkey will fit very comfortably in your hand. Being nocturnal hunters, the Tarsier has huge eyes which are just perfect for night vision and has oversized ears, any movement will be heard. Another unique characteristic the Tarsier has, is the ability to swivel it’s head 180 degrees, pretty clever little things.

It lives in the lowland and coastal forests, coming out at night to hunt small insects, birds, bats and reptiles. It keeps itself hidden amongst the branches of trees which is where it lives. During the day the Philippine Tarsier will sleep in hollowed out logs or branches in the trees which it lives.
So visit Philippines now and see one of the amazing thing on earth!

I present to you the worlds smallest monkey:
