Pasasalamat, Pagpapatawad at Pangako ni Bunso Para sa Pamilya

Mahal Kong Mga Kapamilya,

Gusto kong simulan ang sulat na ito sa isang pagbati!

Bago ko simulan ang nasabing liham, nais ko munang sabihin na gusto ko lamang iparating ang aking mga nararamdaman. Sana wag kayong malungkot, magalit o masaktan kung may masasabi man ako na di nyo magugustuhan. Gayunman, nagsasabi lang ako ng katotohanan na maaaring magpapangiti sa inyo, ikakatuwa ninyo dahil gusto kong iparating ang aking saloobin. Ngunit sa madaling salita, isa itong liham na kung saan lahat ng mga gusto kong sabihin na matagal ko nang gustong ipahayag sa inyo. 

Una kong gustong kausapin si Mama. Laging nagluluto, laging naglalaba, laging naglilinis at nangunguna pag general cleaning sa bahay. Siya din ang tagahanda ng baon ko, taga-budget ng pera at higit sa lahat, ang umuunawa sa akin pag may problema ako. Minsan, nagtatalo kami at nag-aaway na humantong din sa pagtulo ng aming mga luha ngunit nagkakaayos din kami. Gusto ko lamang sabihin sa inyo na maraming salamat dahil sa kabayanihan na ginagawa mo sa aming pagmamalasakit at pang-unawa. Natutunan ko sa iyo ang pagiging maaalalahanin kung saan nadala ko ang ganitong ugali sa aking mga kaibigan at ang pag-intindi sa nararamdaman ng iba lalo na sa mga mahihirap na sitwasyon. Higit sa lahat, naging masipag ako sa pag-aaral dahil iyan ang pangako ko sa inyo na makapagtapos at makahanap ng marangal na trabaho.

Sunod kong kakausapin si Papa. Nakakainis kahit minsan nakikita kitang umiinom ng alak kasama ang mga kumpare mo at minsan umuuwi ka na lang at matutulog dahil pagod sa trabaho o kaya galing sa inuman. Papa, kahit ako ang exact opposite mo dahil inaasahan kasi nila na marunong din ako sa mga gawain sa talyer at nakikisali sa inuman, hanga po ako sa inyo. Ang galing nyo po kasi magmaneho, magaling sa pag-welding at pagbubuhat ng mga mabibigat na bakal at kahoy. Kahit di ko man natutuhan iyon sa inyo, nakuha ko naman sa inyo ang pagkakaroon ng respeto sa kapwa, pagiging matiyaga at ang pagpapahalaga sa pag-aaral kaya siguro nasabi na matalino daw ako at para sa akin namana ko iyon sa iyo. Kaya ngayon, naging guro ako dahil gusto kong ibahagi ang aking kaalaman. Kaya Papa, ang galing mo at hanga ako sa inyong sipag at talino.

Sa aking mga ate, may mga panahon na di ko kayo nakakausap dahil abala na rin ako sa aking trabaho. Alam  ko na malayo ang agwat ng edad ko sa inyo, ilang taon kayo magkakasunod na ipinanganak at alam ko na ako ang nag-iisang lalake kaya minsan feeling ko di dapat ako kasali sa usapan dahil girls talk lang ito. Sorry din sa mga panahon na inaway ko kayo dahil may mga bagay na di tayo mapagkasunduan na nagiging dahilan kung bakit may sarili akong mundo. Sorry din kung di ako sumama sa inyo pag tayo ay kakain sa labas dahil madalas conflict ang ating mga schedule. Kaya minsan may mga pagkakataon na gusto ko kayo makasama kaya lang busy kayo na nagiging dahilan ay mas nakikibonding na lang ako sa mga kaibigan ko sa labas ng bahay o nasa tapat na lang ako ng computer. Kahit ganun pa man, may mga bagay na dapat akong ipagpasalamat sa inyo dahil kayo ang nagbibigay ng mga pangangailangan ko. Kayo ang nagregalo ng cellphone, bumili ng laptop ko para maipakita yun bunga ng aking unang sweldo sa trabaho, at sinuportahan nyo ang aking pag-aaral lalo na sa kolehiyo. Kaya ngayon natutuhan ko ang pagiging mapagbigay sa kapwa. Pag wala sina Mama at Papa, tayo ay nagkakaisa para matapos yun mga gawaing bahay. Kayo din naman ang umuunawa sa akin pag may problema ako kasama nina Mama at Papa. 

Sa aking mga tita at tito at mga lolo at lola, isama ko na rin kayo mga pinsan at pamangkin kayo din ang gumabay sa akin. Kahit paminsan-minsan lang tayo magkita, marami din akong napulot na aral sa inyo. Ilan sa mga aral na nakuha ko sa inyo ang pagiging mapagpasensya at pag may problema, tawanan lang ito at wag nang pansinin.  Nakakatuwa din isipin na natutuwa kayo sa akin dahil sinasabi nyo nun sanggol pa lamang ako, napaka-cute ko. Salamat dahil natutuwa din kayo sa tuwng tinatanong nyo ako tungkol sa mga trivia at nakakasagot ako at salamat din kasi nakikita nyo ang aking pagpapahalaga sa pag-aaral at ang pagsusumikap ko na makamit ang aking mga mithiin sa buhay.

Nais ko lamang sabihin sa inyo na bilang bunso sa pamilya, pasensya na kung minsan matigas ang ulo ko. Laging iniisip ko na lagi akong kawawa sa magkakapatid kaya minsan napapasama din ang mga ate ko. Nais ko lamang sabihin na kahit minsan, lahat tayo nagkakamali at lahat tayo ay tama. May panahon para magbigayan at may panahon para magkaunawaan. Minsan kasi parang ayaw natin magpatalo na nagiging dahilan ng mas maraming pagkakamali. Kaya minsan, may sarili akong mundo at nagtatampo. Nauunawaan ko kayo dahil mataas ang pagrespeto ko sa inyo at higit sa lahat, mahal na mahal ko kayo. 

Pasensya na rin kina Mama at Papa kasi minsan matigas ang ulo ko lalo na ngayong nasa legal na edad na ako. Lagi akong umuuwi ng gabi pagkagaling sa trabaho dahil maraming tinapos na gawain o ginagabi dahil traffic sa biyahe. Minsan natakas na lang po ako ng bahay nang walang paalam dahil di ko gusto ang ulam sa bahay.  Minsan nakikipagtalo ako lalo na sa usapan sa budget dala ng maraming gastos. Mama, Papa, kahit ganun po, di ko pa rin binabago ang ideya na ang pagtatrabaho ko ay para din sa ating pamilya at para din sa ikauunlad ng aking sarili. 

Isang bagay lang ang aking napagtanto. Sa pagbuklat ko ng aking photo album, nakita ko ang mga larawang kupas na nakita ko si Mama, kinakarga pa ako noong bata pa ako kasama pa sina Ate na maliliit pa sila. Sayang kakaunti lang ang pictures ko na kasama si Papa ngunit nakita ko ang mga larawan nya na nagtatrabaho sa Middle East lalo na yun may kasama siyang camel. Nakita ko mga litrato nina Ate noong nag-aaral pa sila ng high school at kolehiyo kasama ang kanilang mga kaibigan. Kahit ang mga pictures sa Facebook na sila magkakasama sila at sayang namiss ko ang moments na iyon. Inaalala ko rin ang mga litrato na magkakasama kaming nag-out of town at natuklasan ang ganda ng Pilipinas. Higit sa lahat, nakita din naman nila ang mga pictures ko mula noong sanggol pa lamang ako, hanggang sa ako'y nag-aral at nagkaroon ng marangal na trabaho. Iisa lamang ang aming mga reaksyon kahit di ko man ito makita o mapansin sa kanila: kami-kami pa rin ang magiging magkakampi sa lahat ng oras.

Sa pagtatapos ng liham na ito, ipapangako ko na ipapakita ko ang pagmamahal ko sa kanila sa pamamagitan ng isang sulat. Pangako ko na may mga panahon na nagkakamali tayo ngunit di na kailangang palakihin pa ang gulo gaya ng ginagawa ko dati. Maipapangako ko na kapag hindi na busy, may oras para makipagkuwentuhan at higit sa lahat, sasabihin ko sa kanila na kailangan naming magkaisa at mag-unawaan para maayos ang problema. Iiwasan ko na rin ang pagiging makasarili ko. Di na kailangang magpataasan at kailangan natin ay magpakumbaba. Ipakita natin ang pagmamahalan sa bawat isa sa atin. Wag kayo mag-alala, okay na okay ako at matibay sa mga problema sa buhay at alam ko na ang gagawing solusyon sa mga hamon ng buhay.  Dahil dyan, dahil sa marangal na pagpapalaki nyo sa akin, isa akong mabuting tao dahil sa inyo. Maraming salamat sa inyo! 

Lubos na gumagalang,
Bunso

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 4: Sixth Quarter Finals

The fans of Pilipinas Got Talent as well with the judges are excited to complete the top 12 semi-final slots. To add the thrill and excitement, the show will held its very first outdoor live shows were acts are needed to perform in a bigger venue because of the props and the number of members in a group. The six remaining acts to compete in an outdoor live show are Bughaw Folkloric Dance Troupe (cultural dance troupe composed of twenty-seven members), VMA Cultural Arts (dance crew composed of fourteen members), Balungao Robotic Dancers (dance crew with robotic costumes composed of ten to twenty members), Lateral Drift Productions Team (car drifting act where they are going to present car exhibition), GenSan Stunt Team (stunt motorcyclist duo to perform motorcycle stunts) and Rosenrei Synchro Sirens (synchronized swimmers to perform in huge aquarium).
Sixth quarter finalists of Pilipinas Got Talent: Bughaw Folkloric Dance Troupe, Rosenrei Synchro Sirens, Lateral Drift Productions Team, GenSan Stunt Team, Balungao Robotic Dancers and VMA Cultural Arts.
The first act of the night was the synchronized swimmers from Manila, the Rosenrei Synchro Sirens. They are exceptional in synchronized swimming individually especially they impressed the judges during auditions. They have that appropriate song choice in the auditions but in the quarter finals, I think they are good but they need to maintain their song choice.

The VMA Cultural Arts of Bacolod City leveled up their contemporary dance routine. They have the synchronized movements, the gracefulness and the masculinity which results into a very exemplary performance.

The Balungao Robotic Dancers of Pangasinan have the packaging and creativity in presenting their costumes, concepts and choreography. They are visually entertaining and they have the energy.

The Bughaw Folkloric Dance Group of Mendez, Cavite did an amazing cultural presentation for two minutes. They have the colorful costumes and props, live accompaniment of a rondalla, breathtaking choreography and they showed variety of Philippine folk dances from auditions to quarter finals. Overall, they did the best cultural performance in Pilipinas Got Talent.

The stunt motorcyclists GenSan Stunt Team improved a lot from auditions to the quarter finals. They have the synchronized and more death-defying motorcycle stunts which is very good to their performance.

The car drifters Lateral Drift Productions showed more intense car drifting exhibitions which are superb especially when they drift between the two persons passing by as well with the car.

In the end, Bughaw Folkloric Dance Group got the eleventh slot where they have the highest number of votes and Lateral Drift Productions won the unanimous judges vote which make them the last semi-finalist for season 4.

The fifth quarter finalists of Pilipinas Got Talent Season 4: Cris Bernardo, Frankendall Fabroa, Roel Manlangit, Crewckattz, Philippine Gymnastics and Athletics Academy and RMMC Dance + Site Project.
Cris Bernardo, the winner of TFCkat Middle East did a great job for starting the show with her rendition of "Queen of the Night" by Whitney Houston. She impressed the judges during her auditions with Jessie J's "Mamma Knows Best" and she is consistent with her range of vocal prowess and she is a power belter.

Crewckattz from Isabela stepped up to the next level with their puppet tricks dance routine with their mash-up of songs. The concept is very good, the costumes and the props are great and their talent is extraordinary.

The Philippine Gymnastics and Athletics Academy from Muntinlupa City individually stand out with their gymnastics routine. They have the basic steps but they need to improve the group dynamics.

Roel Manlangit, the singing prodigy from Bukidnon received a standing ovation during his auditions with his mash-up of Whitney Houston hits "I Have Nothing" and "I Will Always Love You." He's got the raw talent and a powerful voice in his age.

Closing the fifth quarter finals night is the contemporary dancing duo RMMC Dance + Site Project where they entertained the viewers with their character as basketball players as well with the movements which is so romantic. They are entertaining and funny.

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 4: Fourth Quarter Finals

There are six slots who filled the twelve semi-finals slot and the fourth quarter finals night was exciting due to new and unique acts competed for the magic twelve.
The fourth quarter finalists of Pilipinas Got Talent: Tito Cris Castro, The Cancan Group of Regidor Elementary School, The Fluma Viron of Cuerdas, Russell Figueroa, Lumina and D'Intensity Breakers.
The first act of the night was The Cancan Group of Regidor Elementary School from Santa Cruz, Manila. It was a new act to show a classical court dance in television. They have the grace and the pleasant personality because of their contagious smiles, sophisticated movements in their choreography and the classical and visually-attractive costumes.

Tito Cris Castro of Sampaloc, Manila showed a fresh routine for magic where he used mask change which is very mysterious to know the tricks. The mask change routine was amazing as well with the quick changing of costumes in different colors. Overall, he did a very good job in his act.

Russell Figueroa, the winner of TFCkat Canada showed a heartfelt rendition of Regine Velasquez hit "Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw." However, he need to choose a song which is appropriate to his voice which matches to R&B or soul. Overall, he is confident in performing and he's got the packaging.

Lumina, the aerial acrobatics trio from San Carlos City, Negros Occidental did an amazing job for their routine. It reminds me of Synergy, the grand finalist from season 3 where they are flying in the air as well with the acrobatics they showed in their act.

The all-girl violin ensemble from Bulacan, The Fluma Viron of Cuerdas did a great impression with their auditions. They performed "Sway" by The Pussycat Dolls which they played the violin with beautiful harmony and melody plus they danced in a graceful manner while playing. In the quarter finals, they performed "What Makes You Beautiful" by One Direction however, the problem is their song choice. Therefore, they are still my favorites.

The dance crew from Lipa City, D'Intensity Breakers stepped up to the new level in their routine. They used hula hoops plus the intense and energetic hiphop and breakdancing that they showed which amazed the judges and the audience.

In the end, D'Intensity Breakers got the highest number of votes where they got the seventh spot in the semi-finals while Tito Cris Castro won the eighth spot where he got the unanimous vote from the judges.

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 4: Third Quarter Finals

The third quarter finals night of Pilipinas Got Talent season 4 was held om April 20 to 21, 2013 where six acts competed for the fifth and sixth slots for the semi-finals.
The third set of quarter finalists of Pilipinas Got Talent (L-R): Florendo Macalma Jr., Symmetry, Randy de Silva, MP3 Band, Michael "Mifer" Fernando and Tahanang Walang Hagdan Wheelchair Dancesport and BMG Dancers.
The wheelchair dancesport group from Cainta, Rizal, Tahanang Walang Hagdang Wheelchair Dancesport and BMG Dancers did a great job from their auditions to the quarter finals. They have the clean and sophisticated dance routine with the use of wheelchairs as well with their ballroom dancers. They showed hope and inspiration because of their talent and it is proven that being handicapped had their own capacities and strengths to show their talent to the world.

Florendo "Randy" Macalma Jr. did his best job in entertaining the audience as the first act who showed dog tricks in the live shows of Pilipinas Got Talent. He had his passion in loving the dogs by training them and showing communication to his pets. He got the perfect song choice for his routine as well with the movements showed by his different dogs including the Poodle and Mini Pincher. 

The acoustic trio from Davao City, MP3 Band did a new twist for delivering an acoustic music. They have the singer, guitarist and beatboxer combined into one band. They are consistent since auditions up to the quarter finals. In the auditions, they have the mash-up of "Yugyugan Na" by P.O.T. plus instrumental renditions of the theme from "Mission Impossible" and the opening intro of "Hotel California" by Eagles where the judges impressed by their performance. In the quarter finals, they truly leveled up with their acoustic mash-up from instrumental accompaniments of "Billie Jean" by Michael Jackson and the theme of "Pink Panther" plus their rendition of "Mahirap Talagang Magmahal ng Syota ng Iba" by APO Hiking Society. They have that cool performances which is something new for the mainstream in the music industry.

The five pairs of twins combined into dance crew, Symmetry from Davao City. They are not just your ordinary dance crew but they have the synchronized choreography and precision in their dance routine plus the energetic moves and the packaging. They received a standing ovation during the quarter finals because of the simple but extraordinary choreography in a mirror dance that they have. 

Randy de Silva, the singer from Olongapo City did a very good job in singing Michael Jackson songs as well with the packaging which reminds me of Michael Jackson. Exactly, because they are similar in terms of their looks. He is a familiar face in singing contests in TV especially he joined in Little Big Star where he competed with Charice and Sam Concepcion eight years ago. During his auditions, he sang "She's Out of my Life" where he didn't reach the high notes. However, he improved a lot in the quarter finals with his rendition of "The Way You Make Me Feel" where he proved that he can sing and dance plus he got the showmanship.

The last act of the night was the magician from Las Pinas City, Michael "Mifer" Fernando. He did a funny magic routine with his assistants where they are good actors in presenting a magical comedy routine. In fact, it is one of the memorable auditions in the fourth season and they have the humorous impact. In the quarter finals, Mifer showed his serious side through illusions and teleportation from the stage to the audience. In other words, Mifer is such a very good magician as well with his assistants.

In the results night, MP3 Band won the public vote and got the fifth semi-finals slot while Symmetry got the sixth spot in the semi-finals where they won the judges vote.

Next week, you will going to witness the fourth quarter finals night.

The first act was Sinag Color Guards or SI.CO.GU. from Pasig City. This flag twirling group did an amazing job during their auditions with their flawless flag twirling routine plus their colorful flags and costumes. They did a good job in the quarter finals and they remain consistent.

The young crooner from Cebu City, John Neil Roa came back after he auditioned in second season but failed to make it in the top 36. He serenaded the audience with his renditions of "L-O-V-E" by Nat King Cole and "For Once In My Life" by Stevie Wonder during quarter finals. He's got the charming look that girls will surely fall in love with plus a classic voice for standards and ballads. He is a versatile performer and he truly never give up in reaching his dreams.

The sword balancer and belly dancer from Taal, Batangas, Sundee Vinas did a great job in her auditions because of her balancing of a sword plus a sexy appeal and moves of a belly dancer. During the quarter finals, her act is more dangerous because of balancing a sword using her body parts and sexier belly dancing which is proven that she leveled-up her performance.

The acrobatics trio from Caloocan City, EYX Point did a consistent and amazing acrobatic acts from auditions to semi-finals. They have the balancing and the coordination for their act.

Eumee Lyn Capile of Valenzuela City is not just your ordinary singer. She's got the packaging, the soulful and powerful voice, and the swag to perform. She performed "Dancing in the Moonlight" by Katy Perry in her auditions which showed her talent in singing upbeat songs. During the quarter finals, she delivered a blazing performance of "Girl on Fire" by Alicia Keys which brought her to the top 12.

The black light dance crew from Pasig City, Zilent Overload received a standing ovation from the judges and the crowd with their energetic dance routine matched with their groovy song choices. They truly light up the stage with their colorful props and the precision in their choreography. They are visually entertaining and captivating and they are one of the acts who did an amazing job with their black light dance routine.

In the end, Zilent Overload made it to the semi-finals where they got the highest number of text and online votes while Eumee Lyn Capile won the judges vote. 

Pilipinas Got Talent Season 4: First Quarter Finals Night

Pilipinas Got Talent once again is back for its new season, plus there are changes in the show's competition format. For the first time, the top 36 will be the Quarter Finals round where the twelve acts for Semi-finals will be chosen for six weeks. Then, the top 12 semi-finalists will compete for the six slots for the Grand Finals to determine the season 4 champion of Pilipinas Got Talent. 

Definitely, the top 36 acts this season is not more on the singers, but there are fourteen dance acts, seven singers, three musical acts and twelve variety acts which include magic acts, animal tricks, stunts, gymnastics, acrobatics and flair tending. They are truly deserving in that round and they have that impressive auditions.

Let us have a review of the first quarter finals night which was held on April 6 to 7, 2013.
The first batch of semi finalists (L-R): Segutier Triplets, The Miss Tres, Security and Escort Battalion Combo of the Philippine Army, All In One Crew, Marvin Arquero and Chaeremon Basa.
The first act to open the night is the transgender singing trio from Bulacan, The Miss Tres. They have the looks of beautiful and glamorous girls but they have the surprising and masculine voice of a male singer. They sang "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Elvis Presley. The song choice truly fitted for them but I never forget their shocking auditions with their rendition of "Sex Bomb" by Tom Jones. They are confident and they know how to move in stage while singing. 

Chaeremon Basa from Bacolod City is the first flair tending act who make it to the top 36 after three seasons. He had that flawless and careful flair tending skills as well with the fact that it is synchronized to the music. He's got that blazing performance in the semi-finals where he added fire in the table plus the synchronized movements of bottles in a flair tending. In addition, he is enjoying in his performance which is contagious and he is consistent from his auditions.

The black light dance group from General Trias, Cavite All In One Crew light up the stage with their energetic choreography. They did a clean, sparkling and glowing dance routine since auditions up to quarter finals. However, there are few technical problems during quarter finals but they did a good job in performing.

The musical ensemble from Taguig City, The Security and Escort Battalion Combo of the Philippine Army did an energizing accompaniment of "Proud Mary" by Tina Turner during auditions. They have that lively music from the Big Band era especially the brass section as well with the lead singer knows how to perform in front of the crowd. In the semi-finals, they performed "The Cup of Life" by Ricky Martin and they still remain consistent in terms of musicality.

The martial arts trio from Iloilo, Segutier Triplets did a Pinoy martial arts routine in the form of arnis. They have the synchronized movements plus the exciting fight scenes and stunts for their age. I hope that they encourage more children and teenagers to engage in martial arts especially in arnis.

Marvin Arquero, also known as Papa P. (stands for Payong, a local word for umbrella) did an impressive auditions. The magician from Bulacan showed an amazing magical act using umbrellas to tent, imagine from smallest umbrella changes into regular size then the huge and colorful tents used in stands and stores. In the semi-finals, he showed other magical tricks aside from umbrellas. 

In the end, Chaeremon Basa got the highest number of votes from text and online while Miss Tres got a unanimous votes from the judges to make it to the top 12.
