“Au ready?” Bulawan goes Virtual!

 


Davao de Oro Province--- For the first time in history, Davao de Oro will have its virtual Bulawan Celebration. The Provincial Government decided to hold the festival thru social media platforms, maximizing technological advantages due to the current situation the world is experiencing.

Since the renaming of the province from the former “Compostela Valley” to “Davao de Oro”, the provincial government will celebrate the Online Bulawan 2020 from October 19-21.

This year’s Online Bulawan with the theme “Ang Atong Bulawan” will feature the interventions, best practices and actions of the Provincial Government in combatting the Covid-19 pandemic and recognizing the efforts of the front-liners as living heroes who relentlessly serve the public from the risk of the virus.

The 3 day virtual celebration will also showcase the following events; on the first day will be the Bulawan 2020 Opening; “Life in DdO” that will feature nature, food, shopping destinations in Davaon de Oro; “Bahandi” which will share DdO’s eventful past, culture and heritage and “Tiktokan sa Bulawan” that will strive to promote participation among Dabawenyos, encouraging to submit Tiktok entries in line with the theme “Ang Atong Bulawan” and using the official Online Bulawan 2020 soundtrack. This will also lift the spirit of creativity in the course of the pandemic.

On the second day will be the “Biz iCon”“Babayanihan” and “Agri-Oro”. The Biz iCon (Business and Investment Conference) will feature resiliency of the business sector in Davao de Oro as well as the government’s efforts to support local businesses amidst pandemic. The Biz iCon will also hold a “Reverse Business Matching” that will link Large Companies to Local MSMEs in the province and a webinar for business innovations to discuss social media management tips for business and online productivity tools; “Agri-Oro”, a farm episode that will provide information and updates on the initiatives of the province towards local farming and agriculture amidst the pandemic and the “Babayanihan” that will provide information and updates on the initiatives of the Provincial Women Development Council highlighting inspirational stories of women who are serving different duties in the family as well as in the community.  

On the last day will be  the “Virtual Mass”  and “Honoring Our Front-liners” which will both highlight the front-liners who selflessly exert time, effort and energy and even risking their lives serving the public and mitigate the spread of Covid-19; “Green Day” which will promote the trend in planting especially at home and making it more nature-purposive; “ Balik Tanaw” which will bring us back to the celebration of  the Bulawan Festival 2019 and other best practices anchored on the Bayanihan Spirit; “DdO Subasta for a Cause” an online subasta for a cause where items donated by various donors will be held in auction and proceeds will be given to chosen beneficiaries;  “Bulawan 2020 Closing Program” and the  “Bulawanong Musika” showcasing golden talents in DdO and the heroism of the front-liners.

Due to the pandemic, mass gatherings were prohibited, but that doesn’t stop the social connection of the people in Davao de Oro. With the advent of technology, interactions flourished than ever.  The celebration of the Online Bulawan sends a strong message that the Golden province will remain solid, hopeful and will continue moving to greatest heights.

Monkayo's Pride is Garbo Comvalenyo 2017


by Fe F Maestre


Compostela Valley Province--- This year’s Garbo Comvalenyo proves to be another hit “as it progresses to another new interactive format to intensify the suspense and drama.”  Adding to the suspense, the most anticipated event in the week-long 10thBulawan festival and 19th Founding Anniversary of Compostela Valley also has its new twists that are also introduced in the selection of the final round.

"Producing a world-class show like Garbo Comvalenyo is a privilege to be immersed in the most challenging situations. It requires a lot of patience, dedication and passion for us to be able to 'deliver' the ambitious output," said Tourism Officer Christine Dompor who spearheads the event.   She is joined by the power team, Artistic Director Dennis Bautista, soundman Ryan Rellon, Pureplay band, and the soundsystem provider Techno Core.


Monkayo’s pride, Jlou Claide S. Florentino, is this year’s Garbo Comvalenyo Season 8 besting all other hopeful singers on the night of March 7.  He brings home P30,000 cash prize, a plaque and a CVSP Scholarship.

The 21-year old Florentino gets the judges’ nod as he proves his vocal power and strength of a singing superstar as he belts out all the challenge rounds with gusto. He also won the Best in Jukebox Music, one of the challenge rounds, featuring the favorite OPMs with the likes of Imelda Papin, Rico Puno, Eva Eugenio, among others, and automatically won the corporate award as Beautederm Ambassador.  

Danica Ella L. Hipos of Compostela came in next winning P25,000 cash prize while 2nd runner-up is Romeo M. Loquinte Jr. of Mawab  with  P20,000. Each also receives a plaque and entitles them of CVSP Scholarship.

"From the five contestants who made it to the final round, it is only Jlou who offered diversity in terms of song choice while others are so focused to belt out some high notes. We heard that a lot in the preliminaries. Jlou tackled the song with ease and soothing voice not overly decorated with riffs and voice histrionics. His rendition of that tagalog song was like a growing emotion; the more you listen the more it pierces your heart," explained artist Edson Cachuela, one of the 5-member panel of judges.
                                         
Another challenge round is a medley of current popular songs showcasing their star quality, vocal range and interpretation with Ethel Mae Cagape of Maragusan winning the Best Performance of a Current hit.  Finally, it’s a test of stamina as they sing and dance to the current dance hits of K-Pop with Compostela's bet winning the Best in K-Pop Dance.


The other equally talented singers who also showed off their best are: from Montevista’s Faith Precious Andre C. Inguillo who won both the Globe Texters Choice Award and Beautederm Star Appeal;  Maco’s Rachelle Mae Ann Bomediano;  Mabini’s Angelica Vince Bermoy; Nabunturan’s Jovie Lasaca; New Bataan’s Melanie Lagrama; Pantukan’s Janrose De Gracia; and Laak’s Hazel Grace Garbo.  They get to bring home consolation cash prize of P10,000 each.

It was in 2010 when Monkayo also won the Garbo Comvalenyo Season 3 champion in the person of Jonna Mae Asio. Since then, the event has levelled up each year, offering something new in terms of production and concept. (fe f. maestre/ids comval)
