DVD sale...
2007 Hermana, Ms. Perla Villamor- Chapman's giveaway for novena sponsors was a slideshow of pictures from the cruise in the form of a DVD. This photo slideshow was also played for members to watch during the Basaynon Katig-Uban Fiesta 2007. A couple of Basaynons expressed that they wanted a copy.
If you missed it, or would like a copy of the DVD, it is available for you to purchase for $20.00.
If you would like to order, just get in touch with us by emailing us that you are interested in purchasing the DVD and we'll discuss with you the details.
The money from the DVD sales will cover the cost of the materials, postage to send it right at your home, and the remaining money will be donated to a Basaynon cost.
The DVD features video footage from the cruise (Patron 2006), "through the years" pictures of Basaynons in the past and to the present, pictures from the cruise (Patron 2006).
Get in contact with us, and we'll do our best to send it on over to you!

old basaynon, up to date basaynon
so we might not be in simple and festive BASEY, we now have innovated "auditorium", the different hotels that serve as the event location for many of our patrons. and lets face it, planning and making arragements for fiestas are not that easy.
lets be true Basaynons... growing and taking on the different influences and aspects that comes with time.
follow the conversations between OLD BASAYNON and UP TO DATE BASAYNON:
OLD BASAYNON: ano man gud ito nga RSVP ?
UP TO DATE BASAYNON: The term RSVP stands for répondez s'il vous plaît and means "Please reply."
OLD BASAYNON: agi, kay french man ngayan ito, dri man kita french, WARAY WARAY man ako!
UP TO DATE BASAYNON:Or, put another way, "Seriously, you have to reply." It's just nice. And you'd want people to do it for you. Spare your hosts from reliving the childhood nightmare of having a party where nobody comes.
OLD BASAYNON: sus! nightmare ka dida uday! makadto na gad la ako, dri ito kinahanlan magpahibaro!
UP TO DATE BASAYNON: You should send your reply, ASAP, As soon as possible, ideally within two days of receiving an invitation. Or its best to follow the given deadline by the host.
OLD BASAYNON: pero dri pa liwat ako sigurado kay an akon asawa, takay dri ako na drive...... an akon anak may duty..... an asawa han akon anak.... agi dri pa ako sigurado!
UP TO DATE BASAYNON: If you are unsure whether you can attend, respond "Maybe" with a brief explanation of what is holding up your reply. Then be sure to change your reply to "Yes" or "No" as soon as possible.
OLD BASAYNON: kun hermano ito hira, dapat mayada ito nira andam na! kay ano magpapahibaro pa ako ha ira ? makadto na gad la ako!
UP TO DATE BASAYNON:Lots of reasons. If someone has invited you to an event, they want you there, and they're excited to find out if you'll attend. Then there's the planning part. Event hosts need an exact headcount so they can make sure they have enough food, drink and space for you. And finally, the selfish reason: People appreciate it when you RSVP, so you'll have a better shot at being invited to the next event.
para sigurado liwat nga enjoy ka nga enjoy liwat it Hermano, dapat magpahibaro ka!
OLD BASAYNON: ahhh.. para maupay? para makaihap hira? ahhh! tama gad ano, para maupay an ka andam, mayda ko malilingkuran! MA AGAIN AGAIN!
UP TO DATE BASAYNON: oo! sosyal!

Basaynon Ka, Hadto Man or Yana
There are definitely a lot of changes that are continously going on. In the past fiestas or mga kadamo were different, compared to how they are celebrated today.
HADTO: an mga tagbalay an nagaandam ngan nagluluto para han patron!
YANA: na hire na hit caterer, or nagpapacater na!
HADTO: gin lalabhan nga gin armidol it mga mantel para paggamit hit lamisa
YANA: nagpapaskirting na!
times have definitely changed, but one thing is for sure, the spirit of celebrating times like patrons or fiesta are still being followed even until today, honoring the feast of St. Michael the Archangel.
Although many of us have moved outside of Basay or have found a new home here in the US or Canada, we continue to follow the tradition. The fiesta in the Philippines may not be held at an ancestral home (like how many celebrate it back in Basey), or there may not be a fair to go to, or lega ha basketball court kada kulop, irignum with the barkada, lechon for everyone to feast one... but we definitely strive and make the most of creating the same festive atmosphere here in the US & Canada.
Definitely make the most of things, and keep that festive passion with you, kay Basaynon ka, HADTO man or YANA!

You're Cordially Invited.....
Have you received the latest and greatest update from the Hermano? Well, the official invitations are out! ( if you haven't received your invite in the next week or so, email us and we'll try to get that fix for you)
reminders:
- Dinner-Dance tickets using the prepaid method is $40/adult and $20/child 12 yrs. old &below!
- We recommend using the prepaid option, because it definitely helps out the Hermano when making the final arrangements for the event and you save from the cost of $50/adult when paying at the door.
- If you want your child to have fun, and of course enjoy yummy food with the rest of the Basaynons, we recommended paying the $20/child. Not only do you get a night off because his/her can have a comfortable chair to sit on (and off your lap) but they get to enjoy the rest of the night, with all the Basaynons! Treat them out and you'll enjoy yourself!
- RSVP is June 1, 2008!
- attire: formal!
- don't forget to make your hotel reserverations today to ensure a room/suite. just mention "basaynon katig-uban" when calling to make your reservation!
- any questions, feel free to email us, and we'll do our best to answer your question or direct you to the right person for the matter!
- DO NOT forget your dancing shoes ... its going to be a night full of fun and excitement!

Rice!Bigas!Bugas!
Farmers in the distance working on the fields
Mano Boning, a farmer taking a rest after a long day of back breading work on the farm; with his work boots on the side and man's best friend!
Sacks of rice grain and the hat(sadok), definitely feeling the farm atmosphere!
PASUBING! Typical markers that are placed in the rice fields by rice farmers.
Drying the grains out on the field!
Magtanim ay di biro
Magtanim ay di biro
Maghapong nakayuko
Di ka man makatayo
Di ka man makaupo
Sa umagang pagkagising
Lahat ay iisipin
Kung saan may patanim
May masarap na pagkain
Halina, Halina
Mga kaliyag
Tayo'y masipag-unat-unat
Magpanibago tayo ng lakas
Para sa araw ng bukas
