I have received these pix from my friend through email. I was just amazed on how each country has their own "vruuum" style. Though we just have to bear with some exaggeration here. . . :D

oble

it's been a while since we spent time together,

in my old alma mater.

i am now struggling on my own

and you struggle on your own too

they're slowly eating your freedom

burning your legacy of open arms.

our fights in the past

will render useless

the sweat and blood wasted

because of their selfishness.

but let's not give up your freedom.

if they grab it, they might as well grab you and your name with it,

for UP doesn't only mean freedom, but UP per se is freedom.

STOP TFI!

Sugod! kasama c chiz! tayo ay magsama-sama. .

So far, this is the most sensible, not to mention rocking, ad for an election candidate I have ever seen. The candidate didn't exert much effort to show off himself. He just appeared to be the real him. No words were heard from him, didn't enumerated what he has done, nor danced with the masses, just there, and his message has been clearly conveyed to the public.

Chiz is really on top of my list among the senatorial candidates for the 2007 elections. I'm glad that he came up with a sensible ad and didn't used names like 'tol. Aside from his physical features--which resembles much like Bamboo--he proves to be a smart individual and handles situations calmly. Although he is with the opposition party, I don't see him having the same character with his partymates. He seems to have his own ideas and is not influenced by the people around him. Unlike other candidates wherein their fame are used by other people to access power in the government.

Here's more of chiz. .

Profile CHIZ
Francis Joseph Guevarra Escudero or Chiz was raised by parents who were both educators. His father, Salvador H. Escudero III, served as Department of Agriculture secretary during the Marcos and Ramos administrations.

He earned his bachelor's degree in political science and in law at the University of the Philippines. He later went to Georgetown University Law Center in Washington for his master’s degree in international and comparative law.
He served his first term in the 11th Congress in 1998 and Assistant Majority Floor Leader and Senior Deputy Majority Leader in the 12th Congress in 2001 and in the present 13th Congress as House Minority Floor Leader.

Cool and confident, quick with his words, and unwavering in his commitments and conviction, Chiz at 37, is in his prime. If his political mentors rewarded him with a smile and a pat on the back for what he accomplished as a boy of 28, they now regard him with respect and value his professional advice.

Audio barangay is supposedly Bamboo the band's name. I just fetched this info from game ka na ba ages ago. Just remembered it when I saw Nathan's message in their new album, We Stand Alone Together. I guess Nates just described here the essence of the existence of Audio Barangay, or popularly Bamboo (band).

On the 28th of January will be the celebration of the Dinagyang Festival in Iloilo City. For the past 2 years, Bamboo was the main event (at least for me) of the Festival, sponsored by a Telecommunications Company. The concert has been usually held on a saturday night just before the Dinagyang at Sarabia Manor Hotel. Since last year, before they had their concert at Pier 16 last August 31, 2006, I've been waiting for Dinagyang because I was expecting they'd come. But I've found out that they'll be having a concert tour in Australia just in time for the Dinagyang. Waaah! All the adrenaline rush I had was gone! I somehow don't care for the festival anymore. For me, Dinagyang means Bamboo!

But that's not the climax for it all! Just recently, their Australian tour has been rescheduled due to Australian visa and immigration delay. Waaaaah! If only this was foreseen, they could have been here. So now we might just be visiting the "container ban" with the sign "welcome eversun."

Now, nemixx told me that she heard there will be a surprise band on sunday, 27th. We have been joking (and half hoping) that it might be Bamboo. Hahah or maybe it could be "eversun." Makes sense, why would there be a sign at the "container ban," welcoming eversun?lol Maybe they could have put "eversun joins dinagyang '07."
