Bonifacio Sites & Sound @ 150

Paumanhin sa mga tagapagsubaybay naming banyaga at hindi marunong managalog.
Ngunit sa araw pong ito idinaraos ang ika-150 na kaarawan ng isa sa pinakamamahal
naming bayani ng bansa.
Ang siyang TUNAY at KARAPAT-DAPAT na
PAMBANSANG BAYANI at
unang PRESIDENTE ng PILIPINAS,
AMA ng HIMAGSIKAN,
si Gat Andres "SUPREMO" Bonifacio.

Kung kaya't kailangan naming magkwento at magsalaysay sa aming inang wika.
At dun sa mga hindi makaunawa at makaintindi, pasensyahan na lang po tayo!
At dahil hindi rin naman kami mga dalubhasa at mga batikang manunulat.
May mangilang-ilang pa ring salita/talatang taglish, ngayon pa lang po ay
humihingi na po kami ng dispensa at huy, ano ba...SORRY NA!

O yun, masarap maligaw sa mga kalsada ng Maynila.

Dahil mas madalas sa hindi ay mapipilitan kang maglakad at suyurin na rin
ang mga tinataguriang "Tagong Yaman" ng siyudad.

Mga yamang tulad ng mga rebulto na nagpapaalala ng kabayanihan ng isang tao
o bayani. At dahil kaarawan nga ng ating pinakamamahal na SUPREMO.
Heto ang ilan sa mga bantayog na aming nabisita at napuntahan at sa kabutihang palad
ay nakunan ng litrato para sa ikagaganda at ikaliliwanag ng ating diskusyon.

Heto bantayog ng Supremo na matatagpuan sa Tutuban Center Mall, C.M. Recto Manila.

Maugong ang balitang nasunog ang nasabing mall at masasabi kong isa ang SSM!
sa napakaraming nagaalala kung nadamay ba o hindi yung nasabing bantayog ng ating
butihing pinuno. At sa awa ng diyos ito ay hindi nadamay

at nananatiling simbolo ng katapangan at katatagan sa likod ng nasabing aksidente.
Naantala din ang aming pagbisita dahil na rin sa hindi pa ito pwedeng puntahan ng publiko
at inaapula pa ng awtoridad ang nasusunog na mga gusali at paninda.

Sa di kalayuan sa may Elcano cor. Azcarraga ay matatagpuan naman ang bantayog na ito.

At sa maniwala kayo o sa hindi e naroon ang SSM! noong una itong po binuksan sa publiko.

Masasabi nating matagal na kaming humahanga (at patuloy pa rin hanggang sa kasalukuyan) sa
kabayanihan at mga paniniwala ng nagiisa at katangi-tanging si Ka Andres.

Dumako naman tayo sa City Hall ng Maynila at kamustahing ang isa sa pinakamalaking rebulto ng
Supremo.

Sa kasamaang palad, may kalumaan na ang larawang ito at sa kasalukuyang kondisyon e naisaayos
na ang mga nawawalang piraso at hindi na rin ito ganun kalunos-lunos kung titignan mo.
ABA'Y DAPAT LANG NO!

At noong 2008 ay nagkaroon din ng isang "mobile gallery" sa lobby area ng SM City Manila.

Mas marami pa sana rito ang mga litratong nakunan namin ngunit hindi namin naiback-up ng
mabuti ang mga files namin at sino ba namang makakapagsabing bigla-bigla na lang nagsara ang
parehong FRIENDSTER at MULTIPLY. Kaya yun....ansaklap lang!

At tulad na lang ng napakaraming kabataan ng kasalukuyang henerasyon.
Naenganyo din kaming kunan ng litrato ang aming CHUCK TAYLOR na sapatos.

Na hindi rin naman nagtagal dahil JAPEYKS po ito at ipinanglusong namin noon sa baha.
Kung kaya't nag-amoy isda ito at tuluyan na ngang nasira.

At heto nga pala ang ilan sa mga larawang madalas gamitin sa mga libro at postcards.

Ipinagmamalaki at tuwang-tuwa ako sa litratong ito.

Dahil ito raw ang nagiisang larawan ni Bonifacio. Ito ay unang lumabas sa La Illustracion
Espanola Y Americana noong Pebrero 8, 1897.

Bumisita naman tayo sa lungsod ng Quezon kung saan sa harap lang ng City Hall ay naroon ang
Supremo, masigasig na bumabati sa mga empleyado at samu't-saring tao na may transaksyong
kailangang asikasuhin.

May dalawa pang bantayog na madalas naming makita ngunit hindi naman namin makunan ng litrato
sa malapitan. Yun ay ang bantayog na nasa MONUMENTO (Caloocan City).

Na inilikha ni Ginoong Guillermo E. Tolentino.Ito ay pinagsasangahan ng mga daang Samson Road,
McArthur Highway, Rizal Avenue at Epifanio de Los Santos(EDSA)

At ang isa pa'y nasa
may BALINTAWAK.

Malapit sa palengke at napapalibutan ng ebolusyon ng ating watawat.
Pareho pong may bakod ang nasabing rebulto at hanggang tanaw na lang ito sa
madla.

Maliban sa mga rebulto, maswerte rin kaming masilayan ang isa sa pinakatanyag na piyesa
ni Ginoong Carlos "Botong" Francisco.

Ito ay matatagpuan sa loob ng CITY HALL sa mismong reception area ng MAYOR NG MAYNILA.
May litrato rin kami neto ngunit hindi lang namin mahanap dahil burara kami at
maaring hindi naka-label ng mabuti ang nasabing file na aming hinahanap.
Sa susunod na lang po.

At dala na rin sa katanyagan ng nasabing gawa, hindi maiiwasan ang mga spoof version neto.
Isa na nga marahil ang nakita namin sa UNIBERSIDAD NG PILIPINAS.
Isa siyang masayahing pagsasalarawan ni Ka Andres bilang isang estudyante at alagad na rin ng sining.

At ngayon naman ay nandito na tayo sa musikang parte ng pitak na ito.
Mula sa pinakaluma,

Hanggang na nga sa pinakabago.

May ilang mga nauso kani-kanina lang sa facebook.
Gaya na lang nito,

Andres Bonifacio, atapang a tao.
A putol a paa, di dadapa
a putol a tenga, di bibingi
a putol a kamay, di papasma
a putol a ulo, di tatakbo
a putol a buhok, di kakalbo
a putol a sinturon, di huhubo
a putol a itak, di iiyak
a putol a buhay, di mamamatay
This Putol-Putol poem is purportedly a retelling of how Bonifacio was murdered by Aguinaldo’s troops led by Lazaro Macapagal, the grandfather of Gloria Arroyo. The supremo and his brother were reportedly hacked to death by fellow Katipuneros who used bayonets and bolos. During the 1935 presidential election, Manuel Quezon accused his rival Aguinaldo of ordering the execution of Bonifacio. So powerful was the propaganda that Aguinaldo even lost in Kawit, Cavite. On March 22, 1948, Aguinaldo issued a handwritten note admitting that he was responsible for the killing of Bonifacio. #Bonifacio150th

at samu't saring pagkilala/pagpugay na talaga namang ikinatutuwang makita at marinig ng inyong abang lingkod. At sana'y kahit hindi 150th e sana ganito kalalim ang pagmamahal natin kay SUPREMO. Dahil utang natin sa kanya ang ating kalayaan, ang pinakasimpleng magagawa na lang natin e kilalanin din ang kanyang kabayanihan at walang sawang pagmamahal sa bayan.
Hanggang sa susunod na taon. Isang masaya at makabuluhang araw po sa inyong lahat.

Gallery-La Galley

As promised, here are some the pictures from the various events that we were fortunate enough to attend to over the past few weeks.
The said events that were previously announced in one of our older entry.
And just like before, we're not so much in a chatty mood as not to ruin their moment or stall you any further from seeing these pictures so we might as well let you connect the dots yourselves.
Well, that's that!
So please,
ENJOY THE VIRTUAL TOUR!

1. Headspace + Multiplay

and THIS piece that we just had to point out.
By our brothers from another mother,uh!
JOSEL NICOLAS & our new friend NELZ YUMUL.

And now it's time to put the spotlight on our good friend and future professor,ROBBIE!

Well, that's the last of 'em.

We gave out a couple of MINDORO shells and we really didn't get to finish the event itself. It has nothing to do with ROB or any of the MULTIPLAY guys.

We've spoken to them and we've made our apologies.

But it definitely has something to do with the venue itself.

Not that our grumpy old geezer genes are showing but the place and everywhere else is made even stuffier

by a bunch of bloody hipsters.

We ended up spending the other half of the evening at Chad's place

where the actual party is at.

BERSERK

& PHOENIX

anyone?

2. Misplaced

After having a traumatic experience with the food and services of SAGUIJO the last time around.

We pretty much made sure that we've dined SOMEWHERE ELSE before we even try to visit the place a second time.

Enter Kansi Pat Pat at Sampaloc.

Seems like a nice place.

And we've been hearing nothing but praises from the patrons of the said establishment.

So we might as well try the local cuisine,right?

Lo' and behold we were served with this very suggestive delicacy.

HOLY BULL BONER, BATMAN!

There isn't any other manlier way to consume this other than to eat it sideways and avoid the dirty looks from everyone else. And we couldn't be too picky since we're running low on time (both from the establishment and for the exhibit.)So we had to swallow it...every damn inch of it.

After the unsavory foreplay, we must say that the UTAK part is simply orgasmic.

So fuck HIGH BLOOD and CHOLESTEROL, this is here and now.

So enough about your asian porn fetishes.

It was an awesome meal, they could have worked better on the presentation but that's a topic for another day.

Now on to the exhibit,

and wow! Will you look at that!

NO ENTRANCE FEE!

Now that, THAT'S A GOOD THING!

Congratulations on completing the tour now here's your FREE CHUPA....chups!

with special appearances by ROB!

KOMIKASI GWAPITOS!

PILAR & APOL!

And with special participation of the saddest close-up face of the night, RON!

But, all of a sudden! There were weird electronica sounds emanating downstairs.

It had to be them, it had to be TURBO GOTH!

ohmygosh-ohmygosh-ohmygosh!

we've been wanting to catch them LIVE ever since.

So tonight's our chance...

Currently setting our cameras from STUN 

to STUNNING!

HERE WE GO....

....owkay...let me try that again!

M'kay, third times the charm, I guess?

Oh well, might as well just shoot a video then.

Well that went well, how about another one...

You know what would make their set even better?

Same material, same song, sans the flashing lights mebbe?

Are we getting too old for this lazer light show or are we just sitting to darn close to the stage?

Either way it sincerely felt like getting your picture taken.

Multiply that by a hundred times.

If it weren't for our digital camera then we'd probably go like THIS,

and more significantly like THIS.

This is most definitely not a diss on Miss Sarah's part.

Because I've been a fan even before there was a TURBO GOTH.

Bullshit you say?

Well get a load of THIS!

So it's safe to say that I've been drawing Miss Sarah ever since 2009.

And I've been religiously following her career path ever since their first appearance in FHM.

So I could confidently say the Turbo Goth without the lights would equally be as nice as Turbo Goth with lights.But either way, it's just OUR suggestion. Not that it would matter and when their actual music sounds

amazing to begin with. So why change anything?

So out of a possible 8 shots, 

We only got 1 good one.

So we're what BRET HART would like to call a 4/10!

We then went back upstairs to say farewell and congratulate the man of the hour, Kuya Jayps.

but he's a bit preoccupied at the moment and we'd give him that.

Kuya Jayps as Mr. Fantastic.

But we did receive a hug and that is more than enough of a consolation prize by our standards.

So our only regret of the night was not being able to see THE ADVERTISING BAND OF THE PHILIPPINES perform but we were still pretty fortunate enough to be able to catch a teensy-weensy bit of WWE PPV : BATTLEGROUND.

Unfortunately for us we caught a glimpse of THIS nightmare

as opposed to THIS beautiful dream.

But who are we to complain?

It was a fun-filled night packed with phallic food, flickering lights and mischievous kittens. Now can you dig that, SUCKA!!!
