Vispop: Ang Tingog sa Bag-ong Bisaya

POSTER sa ikatulong season sa Vispop. (Hulagway gikan sa ilang Facebook.) Sa panahon nga halos matag butang nahisuwat ug madunggan sa Iningles, misikat ang KPop (Korean Pop) sa atong nasod. Mga batan-on nga nagdako sa pinulongang Iningles nanag-awit sa mga kantang Kinoryano ang liriko ug pipila lamang nila ang nakasabot gyod sa ilang gipangtabi. Ang ilang playlist sa Spotify (usa ka app alang sa pagpaminaw og musika) napuno sa langyawng mga playlist nga sagad KPop o mga mang-aawit sa Amerika. Sa laing bahin, komosta na sad kaha ang mga kantang nahisuwat sa pinulongang Sinugboanon?  Kapin sa tulo ka tuig na ang minglabay dihang namugna ang Vispop nga gipasiugdahan ni Jude Gitamondoc. Sukad sa pagdaog sa kantang "Duyog" ni Jewel Villaflores, daw nabanhaw ang musikang Binisaya nga mihinay human sa kasikatan sa Bisrock nga gipangunahan na bandang Missing Filemon ni Insoy Niñal. Nasundan ang unang season sa Vispop ug midaog ang kantang "Labyu Langga" ni Je...

Ang Pag-Binisaya Karong Panahona

Sa pila ka semana nakong wala pagsuwat og bag-ong entry ning akong blog, nakahunahuna ko nga mobalik sa akong namat-ang pinulongan. Unsa kaha kon magsuwat kog blog nga Binisaya ug dili na lang ipadayon ning akong nagkayuring nga Iningles? Dili sayon ang paghimo og blog nga Binisaya. Basin nagyawyaw lang ko diri nga wala diay nagbasa. Pero nganong himoon man nakong problema ang akong magbabasa? Moabot ra man na sila kon gusto silang mobasa akong gipangsuwat. Taudtaod na sad kong wala makasuwat ug makabasa sa Bisaya Magasin maong naughan na ang akong bokabularyo niining ako untang namat-an nga pinulongan. Wala na usab nako napadayon ang Balakista  maong wala na gyod ko makabasa og mga bag-ong Binisaya nga sinuwat matag karon ug unya. Naa ko karon sa panahon diin nasaag na kunohay ko sa dalan sa pag-Iningles. Apan kiwaw ang akong pag-Iningles. Usa kini ka pinulongan nga langyaw sa akong diwa. Bisan matag karon ug unya makadungog kog Iningles, daw may mga panahon nga mo...

Cebu Blogging Community is Officially One Year Old!

Since Cebu Blogging Community is already a year old, the Community Leads planned to have a humble celebration over dinner. When they started planning, sponsors from different private establishments poured in and the humble first anniversary dinner turned out into one of the biggest event of the community yet.  Last July 4, 2015, Cebu Blogging Community gathered as one and it was a night of fun, prizes, and surprises. The Community Leads Chanel, Mary, Jeff, Gay and Jhanis was able to invite and convince our sponsors to spend for our dinner, venue and countless surprises.  On that night, everyone was in black and wore endless curves in their lips.  Yamba , our main sponsor, was generous enough to spend for the party's venue and the food we ate. They approached CBC and offered to sponsor our event when they heard were going to have our first anniversary event. Yamba, a social media platform that aims to connect the world through hashtags, is a startup compa...

When OPM and Technology Are Merged As One

CONGRATS, ISKA! Lourdes Maglinte topped the Vispop 3.0 with her song "Buwag Balik." In the days when foreign songs reign in the radio station countdowns and where the this generation rely their music choice on the internet, the future of OPM (Original Pilipino Music) may be at risk. Yes, this generation idolizes Taylor Swift, One Direction, or even Justin Bieber. Yes, we know Sam Smith, Echosmith, and The 1975. Let us not forget that this generation also knows Himig Handog and Vispop. Yes, I may have some weird taste of music. In fact, my Spotify playlist includes Vispop, along with other Cebuano songs, and Himig Handog, along with other songs in my #Hugot playlist. Forget Taylor Swift ignoring Spotify. Spotify has been my daily source of good music. While writing this blog in the middle of the night, the #Hugot playlist from Spotify is playing in the background. It gives me the ability to turn my thoughts into words. Also, it helps me concentrate more. OPM, ...
