It was never in my idea to join Gaigai to Mahin Festival in Gumasa, Glan, Sarangani Province.
But since she was still heartbroken(actually, as always) and into the process of healing and moving on na daw so i joined the group then we created The Team Mahin.
According to my research that Mahin is a Blaan word for "beach" signifying the tranquility, calmness and the mysteries of water while they incorporate also this term to pay respect and tribute to the first tribal groups of Glan.Oh,Thank you Google for saving my life again!
We were so very happy na nakarating kami ng Glan na safe, ang ganda ng concrete roads and the scenery going there is superb.
we went to beach agad for the compulsory "groupie" shot- we posted immediately the pics on IG, twitter and FB using the #mahin so that we could invite people from nearby to visit the beautfil beach of Glan.Feeling ko effective nmn kasi nagdatingan pa yung iba from Gensan.that's the power of media!fruk.
The Big event that night was the Mahin Bodies- its a pageant of both men and women in different summer wear. The host DJ Justine B of MOR was very witty to open the program. There are fanatastic dancers from creative artistic group of Glan and the firedancers who are very brave and very good with their skills na sana nakapag ensayo ng maigi at nailagay sila sa tamang consepto ng programa,Then the show became dragging, the contestants are showing their bodies(bikini open nga db?), strike thier post as if there's no tomorrow, I saw the last year's Mahin Bodies and the pose of the ladies are different- nag iiba, parang nagiibang anyo at katauhan na sila. This is really a competition and gumagawa sila ng mga gestures and pose na annoying na tlaga, and slutty ang dating- Men are more composed on stage.
It's almost midnight when they FINALLY announced the winners, I love the results since yung mga bet namin eh pasok naman sa banga. Nashock kami sa low budgeted na sash- parang ribbon lang at nilagyan ng elmer's glue at binudburan ng silver dust. it could be better if nag pa print sila ng tarpaulin at ginupit nila yun at presto! ang no-hagu-sash!
The big bands with complete musical instruments are the highlights, they perform enthusiastically on stage, but mas mabuti sana if early nagstart ang performance nila kasi you could see the interactions of the crowd and the people happily dancing to the reggae tune.
When I went home, i saw Sir Avel's photo about the Mahin Bodies, and i posted my comments in the comments box saying
" the show is dragging, at parang di pinaghandaan ang sash, at ang gwapo ng katabi mong judge"
then I received these messages:
To the shows organizer and tourism staff of Mahin Festival:
It was just an observation of mine as an avid fan of Mahin Festival- congratulations for the job well done.
and to the member of tourism office- please be kind also to PM me such word of inquiries. My comment to Sir Avel's picture about the Mahin is not to demean you guys and the program but it's a constructive criticism- that i hope and wish you to accept.
Di po kailangan na well renowned choreographer or director ako para magbigay ng komento sa mga nakita ko about the event. and to that officer who PM me- I'm not coming from hell . you could have para-phrase your statement base on your educational attainment and status as a tourism officer of Glan. That's how you treat tourists? if you heard some sort of comments regarding your place or an event, take every word as a challenge to evaluate the tourism program and not to question someone's credibility and achievements.
Either verbal, in paper,in FB comment box still these are all comments that should be well taken.
eh kung ayaw niyo naman pala ng comments, eh di na sana po di nlang kayo ng invite ng crowd.
I have a big respect to the event organizers and the officers of Glan, kasi alam ko ang hirap at pagod na pinagdadaanan ng lahat-kasi I myself is from events too, I used to host celebrities during their concerts and mall shows in Gensan and Marbel, I'm a creative and production staff of Mark D Spot that specializes in handling events and pageants such as Miss Silka South Central Mindanao and Ginoo at Binibining Heneral Santos 2014, I'm not bragging these achievements but I want you to know that, we, in our team accepted every comments either good or bad, because that will serve as a teacher for us to change and grow.English po yan para intense!
HUMILITY.
Di ko na pinatulan yung PM niya kasi LOVE LOVE LOVE na.
Nawalan ng wallet yung kasamahan naming si Arthur Fermo kung sino man po ang nakakita ng wallet niya-huwag nyo po ibalik ang pera( for sure) yung mga I.D's nlang po.
see!? nawalan kami pero wala kaming sinisi na mga security and police, kasi katangahan nga naman ng kasama ko yun at di maiiwasan yun sa dami ng tao- pero nagalit ba kami?nambintang? nagbash ?wala! di nmn ahh.. pero bakit si tourism officer kung maka PM sa akin ganun,, anyareh?! first-time?!
I asked my friend why i received these messages,
Gaigai: because you're Cliff Corsit. the STAR! ahaha di ko masyado maintindihan eh kung may content ba yung sinabi niya, lasing din nmn kasi kami nun. ahahha
Love lots
Cliff

is a festival unique to the town of Glan which, “brings back
traditional beach activities the townsfolk have been fond of doing since
