Bayambangueño Cosplayer is Grand Winner in Manila Competition

Bayambangueño Cosplayer is Grand Winner in Major Manila Competition

A resident of this town emerged as grand winner in a cosplay competition in Manila. The competition was part of the 16th Christmas Toy Fair 2023 staged by Toycon PH -- "the biggest pop culture convention in the country" -- in SM Megamall on December 17, 2023.

Marc John I. Martinez of Upper Cadre Site dressed up and performed as Ignacio, the famous transforming character (from friar to wrestler) made popular by Jack Black in the hit comedy film, "Nacho Libre." (Cosplay is not just about wearing costumes but also performing as the character being represented.)

As cosplayer, Macky maintains his own FB page, "Wacky Cosplay," where he posts photos of himself as various characters from pop culture, to often hilarious effects. His choices are often unconventional characters, those that are not easy to depict or not the most popular options.

He is no stranger to such big winnings, thus he is perennially invited as judge of cosplays in his home province and beyond.

By his own account, he has been cosplaying for almost 14 years, starting out as the 5-year-old version of Lambo Bovino from "Katekeyo Hitman Reborn" at the 1st Manila Comic Con 2009. From then on, it has been a looong winning streak for him, thanks to his vast imagination and impressive resourcefulness.

- 2009, 2010: His Gai Sensei character reaped awards at the 4th Christmas Toy Con and at the 9th Philippine Toys Event.
- 2011: He finished 4th at the Otaku House Cosplay Idol Asia Category and won at the Cosplay and Toy Display at SM Rosales, Pangasinan.
- 2014, 2018: He was adjudged as the Pangasinan Cosplay Invitationals Champion in the Individual Male category at Robinsons Place Pangasinan, and the Cosplay Fiesta 2018 Champion in the Male Cosplayer category at Maria Cristina Park, Tarlac City.
- 2019: He snatched the 2nd place thrice: first at the Cosplay Craze 2019 in the Pro Category at SM City Rosales, second at the Cosplay Craze: Parade & Competition 2019 at SM City Tarlac, and for the third time at Hexcon Baguio 2019 at PFVR, Baguio City.Then he was the Awesome Costume Award grand champion at the Christmas Toycon 2019 at SM Megamall.
- 2022, 2023: He bagged the 3rd place at the 1st PPopCon in 2022, and the 2nd place at the SummerCon 2023. Last October 15, he was the grand winner at the Anicon 2023 Cosplay Competition at Robinson's Place, Calasiao, Pangasinan, and because of this feat, he was invited as guest at "Mornings with GMA Regional TV" last October 27.

His comedic sketches are well-received because he chooses characters that best fit his own personality. It is anachronistic to talk about originality in the world of seemingly copy-pasted versions of make-believe characters, but Macky's outputs are all about that: he leans toward surprising choices, like characters from Filipino pop culture, for instance, that others won't touch. And unlike other cosplayers, his costumes are often DIY, sourced and recycled from thrift stores (ukay-ukay), and one can't miss the creativity behind the execution.

Aside from cosplaying, he does anime sketching, gaming, and livestreaming, and he's also into gadgets during his free time.

He says one of the highlights of his work is being "liked" on Facebook by no less than one of his idols, Michael V., after he replicated the popular comedian's latest character, Lolo Kanor. This character, which is a jab at the Pasosyal Now Purita Later types (or people who are "pasosyal pero mahirap naman"), came out as a music video in "Bubble Gang" parodying the runaway hit song "Raining in Manila" by Lola Amor band as the rather hard-hitting social commentary "Waiting Here sa Pila" by the bejeweled, Starbucks-sipping lolo.

Caroline Nazareno-Gabis: Local Science Instructor is Also Internationally Multi-Awarded Poet

 

Caroline Nazareno-Gabis: Local Science Instructor is Also Internationally Multi-Awarded Poet

Caroline 'Ceri Naz' Nazareno-Gabis proves that science and the arts need not be incompatible, for she straddles both worlds with ease, seeing no distinct boundaries in between.
 
Ms. Gabis is a resident of Zone IV, Bayambang, who is not just an educator but also a multi-awarded contemporary poet, editor, journalist, and peace and women’s advocate.
 
She graduated cum laude with a degree of Bachelor of Elementary Education at Pangasinan State University-Bayambang Campus (batch 2001), and specialized in General Science. At Tarlac Agricultural University, she teaches in the Natural Science Department of the College of Arts and Sciences, and is also designated as Chief in Partnership Development of External Linkages and International Affairs Office.
 
A voracious researcher in both the fields of science and arts and literature, she has volunteered in organizations with disparate concerns, such as Richmond Multicultural Concerns Society, TELUS World of Science, Vancouver Art Gallery, and Vancouver Aquarium.
 
She also experiments on deviantArt, mask-painting and shell-painting, and collects exquisite artworks from nature. Her photo-art, dubbed “koireography,” was exhibited in South Korea, with the theme “Visible Poetry Connecting the World." Her “koireography” formed part of the International Artists’ Exhibit in Turkey through USART or International Culture Arts Society, Health and Ecotourism, Turkey on July 21, 2021.
 
Among her prestigious awards include being the Embahadora de Valores Universales (Ambassador of Values Movement International) and Featured International Poet from the Philippines in the Encuentro Mundial el Valores Movimiento (International Meeting of Values Movement) held in Chaco, Argentina, on October 21, 2021. She also won the Poet-Journalist Award 2014, in Istanbul, Turkey, as well as the International Empowered Poet 2013 recognition given during the World Poetry Canada held in Vancouver, Canada.
 
She was also a finalist in the iWoman Global Awards 2020 in India, Panorama Global Literary Awards 2020- Youth Literary Awards, also in India, and a featured author in the Summer and Winter 2020 issue of the InnerChild Press USA. Moreover, she earned 7th place in the Italian International Literary Awards for three consecutive years (2017-2019). The latest award she received was the prestigious Gabrielle Galloni Memorial Panorama International Youth Award 2022, given on May 19, 2022.
 
A World Poetry Canada International Director to The Philippines, Ceri Naz is also a member of World Poets Society-Greece (2016 to present) and Writers International Network Amazing Poet Award 2015-Canada.
 
Below is one of her winning pieces, which is naturally a meditation on the basic sciences:
 
Immanence
 
I am a breakdown
of filaments
from the coast
of continuity,
i am a vestige
of glimmers
from the impulses
of creation
in the multiverse,
I am the void, the space, the time
in the cosmological expansion,
I am the vacuum of infinity.
I am nothing in the massive hole
Of eclipses and murky galaxies,
I, myself, me is an elusive
Dot in universe’s womb,
Reminds me the tinge of ankh,
I become Love, the most impeccable locution
The sacred oomph in the vastness,
I become Light, in synchronicity like diamond eyes.
I wander in the firth
As I transcend from the pulsating waves,
the raging storms, the howling winds
To the ocean of ethos,
Because I live in the waters,
In the rocks, in the roots and in monera’s trap
Look at me herenow, reflection says
I can be yesterday in your future,
Your future’s now and all time’s word
You will find me everywhere,
A neutrino travelling in a planck time
Will come back again, to be with you
In ageless name.
i am the emptiness
from the breathing
earth,
water,
air,
fire,
of life.

Former PSU Teacher's Invention Wins in String of Int'l Awards

 Former PSU Teacher's Invention Wins in String of Int'l Awards

A former teacher of Pangasinan State University-Bayambang Campus (PSU-BC) has won a string of international awards for her invention of a new motorcycle engine bio-lubricant based on the sap of the pili nut.

Elmina Quinto Paras is now a teacher at Manuel Roxas Senior High School is Manila, but she used to be a former faculty member of the Science and Math Department of PSU-BC. She used to teach chemistry there to high school, college, and postgraduate students. She is the daughter of Jaime C. Quinto Sr., a retired dormitory manager of PSU-Bayambang, and Prof. Elsa Ferrer Quinto, herself a former PSU professor, also now retired. (A highlight of Prof. Elsa Quinto's work was a thesis compiling local folk songs.) Paras is commonly known by her nickname, "Mariel," at home. She grew up in Zone IV from 1977 to 1989 and in Zone III thereafter.

Her winning entry is entitled "A Novel Bio-Lubricant for Motorcycle Engine from Canarium Luzonicum Sap (Pili Nut Sap)," and juries from different parts of the world have recognized her invention. Her entry has been presented in Malaysia; India; Toronto, Canada; Turkey; Zagreb, Croatia; and Moscow, Russia.

In an online interview, Paras -- a mother of four -- revealed that she has always been passionate about science since childhood. "I chose chemistry because it’s related to my (college) major which is General Science, with Chemistry as my minor," she explained. "In my teaching profession, on the other hand, since there were few graduates of chemistry during my time, I had been mostly tasked to teach inorganic and organic chemistry, biochemistry, and environmental chemistry," she said further. Aside from PSU-BC, she also taught in PSU Infanta and Philippine Normal University (part-time). When she got married, she followed her husband in Manila and that's where she continued her teaching career.

"The research/invention I made started when my husband wanted to venture into making paper briquettes as an alternative fuel. I tried to help him by discovering an ignitor. That’s the time I was able to get to know the sap through our staff. But we did not prosper in making briquettes in Manila for we still didn’t have enough area for that and because of our busy schedule. And since we needed to represent the school abroad, I thought of using it in other different products."

She said she plans to submit her invention in other competitions abroad. A member of Manila Young Inventors Association (2017-present) and Toronto International Society of Innovation and Advanced Skills (2019-present), Paras said her award-winning work is now in the process of getting a patent and is being explored for possible commercial application.

This and other research work, by the way, have been published in scientific journals in China and Canada.

In humility, Paras tipped us off that she's not the only internationally recognized teacher from PSU-BC. She mentioned the following former mentors and colleagues as past recipients as well: Dr. Raquel Carungay Pambid, who is the one who convinced her to take up chemistry for there were so few takers back then; Dr. Wilma Muena de Vera; Dr. Veronica Cancino Austria; and Dr. Armando Manzano. She said that, apart from the science field, there's even an internationally recognized poet too teaching in the same department: Caroline Nazareno-Gabis.

She and the rest of her fellow PSU educators are proof that the sprawling historic campus in Bayambang remains a fount of innovation and excellence as it has always been.

History of Bayambang's Public Healthcare Institutions



History of Bayambang's Public Healthcare Institutions

Did  you know that before there was Rural Heath Unit (RHU) I in the town of  Bayambang, there was a Puericulture Center? It used to stand at the PNP station next to RHU I, and it was managed by a private organization under Dr. Santos.

The old Annex Building beside the Municipal Hall used  to be the Bayambang Emergency Hospital, which opened on July 16, 1980 during the tenure of Mayor Jaime P. Junio. Dr. Ernesto  Mataban was the first director, and Dr. Nicolas Miguel was its first  resident physician.

The hospital was transferred to Mataban's  donated land in Brgy. Bical Norte on July 1, 1985 and became the Bayambang District Hospital.

RHU I was first headed by Dr. Amado Layog, followed by Dr. Nestor Pascual before Dr. Paz F. Vallo took over in 1993 after she transferred from RHU II.

Presently, starting from the term of  Mayor Cezar T. Quiambao and Vice-Mayor Raul R. Sabangan, the local  government of Bayambang has been operating six RHUs from only two before July 2016. Now every Bayambangueño can receive free childbirth, medical check-up, medicine, various vaccines, and other services from these small facilities spread out in various districts. (Dental services are free only for indigent patients.) 

RHU I was built during Mayor Calixto Camacho's term, and is located at the left-most end of the Municipal Hall compound.

RHU II, located in Brgy. Wawa, was also built during Mayor Calixto Camacho's term.

RHU III in Brgy. Carungay opened on April 3, 2018 and was built on a lot donated by the Romano family.

RHU  IV in Brgy. Macayocayo opened on November 25, 2020 and was built on a  lot donated by the Macayocayo Barangay Council under Punong Barangay  Mario Cariño.

RHU V in Brgy. Pantol opened on February 2021.

RHU VI in Brgy. Mangayao was built on a lot donated by Mayor Cezar T. Quiambao and opened on February 22, 2023. 

RHU  I and IV are operated under Dr. Vallo, while RHU II and V are under Dr.  Adrienne Estrada and RHU III and VI are under Dr. Roland M. Agbuya.

Lyric: "No Siak so Mangaro"

 

Folk Song unearthed: "No Siak so Mangaro"

As expected, the lyric is quite hilarious in its hyperbole and colorful in its characterization. Check out my attempt at translation at the end.

NO SIAK SO MANGARO

I

No siak so mangaro
Ed satan ya limgas mo
Ag ta ka paakseben
No mayemyem so tiempo

Say gatinan mon datal
Apisay panyolito
Say yorongan mon silya
Mantilisay aro

II

No komon agi ta
Limon kan kakanen
Iyan ta kad ngoroy dilak
Ya pantolin-tolinen

Ag ta ka gatgaten
Ag ta ka akmonen
Iyan kad ngoroy dilak
Ta amamayoen

(Uliten II) (Repeat)

version 2

No siak so mangaro
Ed satan ya limgas mo
Ag ta ka palasuren
No mayemyem so tiempo
Say gatinan mon datal
Apisay panyolito
Say yurungan mon silya
Mantilisay aro

No limlimgisen koy
Aping mo ran nantupag
Rosas na everlasting
So aliling mod matak
No bilang umpatey ak
Ed bentekuwartro oras
No limlimgesen mo ak
Tampol nabilay ak

No kumon agi ta
Lemon kan kakanen
Iyan ta kad nguroy dilak
Ya pantulin-tulinen
Ag ta ka gatgaten
Ag ta ka akmunen
Iyan ta kad nguroy dilak
Ya amayuen
 
***
 
Translation:

If I were the One to Love

If I were the one to love
your delicate beauty,
I won't let you go out
When the weather gets bad.

The floor you'll walk on
Shall be covered with hankies.
The seat you'll sit in
Shall be clothed with love.

Whenever I gaze
At your pair of cheeks,
They appear like everlasting flowers
To mine eyes.

In case I die
Within 24 hours
And you gaze in my direction,
I would at once live again.

If only, dear, you were
A lemon,
I will put you at the tip of my tongue
And roll you there again and again.

I won't chew you,
I won't swallow you,
I will just place you at the tip of my tongue
There to be leisurely savored.

Tiwala - Editorial - November 2023

 

Tiwala

 

“Tiwala” – isang salita na may anim na letra ngunit walang katumbas ang halaga kaya’t hindi basta-basta ipinagkakatiwala. Iyan ang regalong natanggap ng ating mga bagong halal na barangay officials, lalo na ang mga Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) official, mula sa ating mga kababayan, partikular na yaong mga nasa murang edad.

 

Sa kanila ay nakahanap ng bagong pag-asa – pag-asang mapakinggan, madamayan, at maipaglaban.

 

Sa libu-libong kabataan sa kani-kanilang barangay, iisang chairperson at pitong kagawad lamang ang napiling kinatawan. Kaya’t sa kanilang pag-upo sa puwesto, huwag nawa nilang kaligtaan ang mga pangako at platapormang binitawan.

 

Bilang nabansagang “pag-asa ng bayan,” panahon na para mas maipakita nila ang kanilang kakayahan at katapangan upang maging mga modelo sa susunod pang henerasyon. Mabigat man ang kanilang magiging responsibilidad bilang miyembro ng SK, kami’y nagagalak at hindi sila nagdalawang isip na sumubok at tumanggap ng hamon upang pagsilbihan ang ating pinakamamahal na bayan at mamamayan.

 

Sa kanilang pagsuong sa magulong mundo ng pulitika, sila ay nagpakita ng ideyalismo na di nalalayo sa ipinamalas ng ating mga bayani noong panahon ding kinaharap nila ang hamon ng panahon sa gitna ng kanilang kabataan.

 

Kaya’t ngayon pa lang, kami ay nagbubunyi at mainit na bumabati sa lahat ng mga nagwagi sa halalan, lalo na sa mga lider ng kabataan.

 

Congratulations sa mga bagong halal na Punong Barangay, Barangay Kagawad, SK Chairperson, at SK Kagawad. Sana ay huwag sayangin ang tiwalang ipinagkaloob ng buong-puso.

 

Sa mga hindi naman pinalad sa ngayon, pakiusap namin ay ang pakikiisa sa mga nagwagi, alang-alang sa ikabubuti ng ating mga barangay.

 

Mabuhay kayong lahat! Mabuhay ang Bayambang!
