I am an artist and cultural worker first—my creativity is rooted in culture and people, not in politics.
Before the year ends, indi gid pwede nga indi ako magpasalamat sa Municipality of Libertad, Province of Antique, headed by Mayor Bing Nicopior-Laserna and Vice Mayor Bebot Nicopior-Te for the trust, confidence, and honor of allowing me to serve the whole tribe as your Artistic Director.
Two weeks of mounting and preparations, amid funding constraints, may seem imposible, but with the right people and a shared purpose, it became possible—and powerful.
The Banigan Festival is very close to my heart because it reminds me of the Bariw Festival of Nabas, where I first honed my craft. Mawdan wa it duha-duha, I accepted the challenge with love and commitment.
Salamat gid sa akon mga madaug nga kaibahan sa Artistic Team:
• Choreographer: Ernie Salmeron
• Assistant Choreographers:
• GenMar Ceballos
• Regie Mar Layda
• Production Team: Brent Pit and Company
• Musical Director: Team Alvir Javier
Salamat gid sa positivity nga dala it tagsa-tagsa.
Salamat gid man sa LGU Employees of Libertad—saksi gid ako sa inyong pagbuylog sa haya nga causa. Palangga gid ninyo ang inyo Banwa.
LABAW SA TANAN:
To the 100 Performers and 118 Propsmen—words cannot express my gratitude. I saw your sleepless nights, your unwavering sacrifices, and most of all, your limitless love for your culture and traditions. Lab lab gid!
Kruhay Banigan!
Kruhay Binirayan!
Better and Brighter Libertad!
MADAUG!
Congratulations!
