Thanks mng Jean. Planok met nga talaga nga isend daytoy video kaniam. No mabalin ket alaem pay koma nga i post diay tadek da uncle Henry ken aunt Liza. Ta ti nagplay ti gongs diay sala da ket da uncle Dens and uncle Polion.
We really had a wonderful time on Saturday. I’ll post the full video of this event soon. No kayat yo nga kitaen ti different sala ti igorot abangan yo diay site mi http://www.saguntouk.org
Nagpintas diay party ti igorot uk. Saan ko nga ammo nga nagadu gayam ti klase ti sala ti igorot/bago.
Very very proud kami nga nangkanta diay theme song tayo. Thanks manong Elmer for allowing us to sing our tribal song. Mayat met laeng ba ti panangala ni Marifaye? Isu dayta ti umuna nga kinanta na nga ilocano song.
Ignoren yo laengen diay kasla katok diay sango nga agbebeat. Kasla sigsiguro. Kunam la no ammo na nga agpayso ti agbeat. hehehehe.
Hahahaha, Roselee! Funny! Ali, you guys did good with the song, am sure Elmer would approve
he he he, hi hi hi, it’s fun to hear and watch it. i wonder if there’s any rock rendition next? how about rap kiddos? it’s amazing we can have as many versions and styles for just one song. good effort!
thats the the idea of the song being composed by elmerb and originally sung by her youngest daughter rachel for us isagunto to sing ite as part of our program when there are gatherings.
Nice SUKA did it now and nice sharing it roselee BRAVO!!!
Urayen yo dyay version met ni Dorcas nga RAP! Waaahhh… I think Romelia took video of it. You’re right, sis Emz, the tune is so catchy that it can easily have so many versions. Then there’s Lola Dora’s version, hahahaha….
Thought for a moment that “song” was familiar. Then I remembered the duet of the father and daughter which was really nicely done. It’s great also that it’s being popularized by your ka-tribu’s all over the world. Mooh powah to your tribe!
Make you are not in violation of a copyright law for singing Mr. Elmer’s song, hehehe….pretty sure it’s okay with his family, after all the name of the game is sharing. Happy Thanksgiving to you all!! Cheers also!
Fourth line should have been “Make sure”>>>. Thanks!

Roselee, ading ko. Don’t get defensive ta ni kabsat TrueBlue ket haan nga taga Sagunto, bisita tay lang isu ditoy ken angaw na lang ti inkur-it na met dyem. Relax kay la dita ah, no worries dear…facetious jesting needn’t be a serious matter, luv. I know it’s cold in London these days but we mustn’t succumb to it’s dreariness, yah?
Napintas apo ti intay naiparang diay Igorot UK
! Ay inayan pay di Roselee, Di tay ket agragsak ta naiyespread
ti kinompose nga kanta ni uncle Elmer. Kutno makuna ngarud nga tribal song, meaning anyone can song. Because she/he belong to the bago tribe. Maragsakan pay ket diay songwriter na daytoy nga kanta a nga isu ni uncle Elmer diay laud ta maaknowledge diay kinompose na kin maapreciate ti pareho tayou nga tribo.
Kas koma ti national anthem, apay masapul nga ipakadam no sinno man ti songwriter na. everyone, anybody could sing.
Kas madamag ko kanyam, apay no agkanta ta anak mo agkaraoke ta pagaayat na ti agkankanta? Adda kadi ti pammakada yo kin Celine Dion. Isu nga apay nga pakasikkuram la unayen aya no sinno man ti agkanta kin mangtulad ti Sagunto tribal song. Inpakadaam koma ta balasang mon kadagidiay song composer, If l will tell you that is consider “fraud”.
Agpayso ta imbaga ni kabsat Babot the word “defensive”.No kadi dadduma ket medyo an-annadam koma ta panaglawlawat mo. You’d better watch out the baka ta sinnaum ket maisubli kanyam. Agpanunot ka kadi no dadduma.
Relax ka laeng,
Sorry ading Dorcas I didn’t mean to mention your name, not seriously. Sorry mng Bot I’m just annoyed dagidiay tattao nga awan pay appreciaten da. Tatta aramiden da manen nga big deal gapu ta namention ko ti nagan ni Dorcas kuna yo manen nga masikuranak no sinno nagkanta? My gosh you are twisting everything lalo sika nga nagcomment nga last.
Ibagam man sino ngay kuma ti defensive kaniata? Isu nga sika last nga nag commnet nga uray saan mo ibaga nagan mo sika ketdi ti agan annad ti kunkunam.Agpayso ta kunam agsubli met laeng kaniam. Am-ammoka uray madim inbaga nagan mo.
Kayat ko laeng nga ilawlawag kaniayo apo nga no ania man ti comments ko ditoy site, kapanunutak laeng daytoy. Saan yo man kuman nga iram raman ti buong association.
No angaw ni trublu ti napan na in kur it, a ket angaw ko met laeng garud a ti in kur it ko. So why making it a big deal? Apay kunam (sika nagcomments ti number 10) very stupidak nga madik ammo no ania meaning na ti fraud nga dapat pay laeng nga damagem ken explain mo diay panagkankanta diay anak ko?
Very proud kami nga nangkanta daytoy theme song tayo. No ania man kuma ti comments ni tru blu ken reply ko. It’s between the two of us nga mang sort out ken mang discuss. Saan koma nga nagadu ti kunakuna yo. Instead nga angaw laeng dagidiay mapan nga seriousen. Agbalin payen nga big dealen uray awan met aniaman na.
Hi Dorcas,
Ading ibagam ken mng Romelia ta ipost nan diay kanta mon ket ni siak la nga siak ti mapan da kitkitaenen. No madim ammo nga uploaden, alaem diay bala ti tape ta ited mo kaniak ta siak ti mang upload. Ignorem laeng dayta kunkunada nga masisikuranak no sino man ti nagkanta nga dadduma diay tribal song.
Excitedak garud nga makita diay panagkantam manipud inbagam kaniak idi party ni mng Judy nga nagkanta ka ti Tribal song .Santo kayat ko nga makita diay video ta kunam nga nakagown or bistida ka. Kanayon ka laengen gamin nga makitkita nga nakapantalonen.
ale, agkanta tay ketdi, pangliwliwa, pangikkat ti suron.
birbirukek ngay dyay tune dita Ksolo.com awan met. nakitak laeng dyay kanta ti celine dion nga O HOLY NIGHT! woweee nagmayat ngay nga denggen met. sige man ubbing agkanta kayo metten ti Krismas songs, imbag la ma feel mi ditoy ti xmas ta awan ti xmasan ditoy, syak la ti agikabkabil xmas lights ta ruar. O holy night….
Babot, thanks for defending the defender of the underdogs, hehe….
Roselee – am sure you’ve heard of “laughter is the best medicine”. No awan idta medicine cabinet mo, pakikabil mo ading. ALL that I’ve known in life who carried a chip on their shoulders, no longer exists. Each of my comments in this blog are quite
responsible and laced them with humor every now and then, and as Babot articulated, it’s all in jest. If it would make you feel better, maybe the offensive part can be removed, if it’s hostile in your thinking.
Having said that, bay-am ta no ado ti makalik nga balitok idtoy Baguio ket pasyaren ka dita London ta ag-duet ti kanta ni Mr Elmer B.
Babot/Emz – just remembered my classmate in Elementary and College, Richard Biteng, maybe he’s related to Mr Elmer B. Believe he is or was in the Philippine Coast Guard and son of the late Father Biteng (Anglican Church).
Regardless, cheers to all and goodhealth as well.
speaking of sense of humor….don’t you know that the original Bago people also have good sense of humor? and they speak so figuratively, so it’s hard to guess whether they are kidding or talking so seriously. last august, I asked pastor almazan one difference between iloco speech and the bago speech…and he said “no kasla nagdagsen ti pagsasaona, bago daytan”. diyay ngay sounding so harsh and ridiculous but that’s how they show they’re SWEET.
oh, I miss lola angela…hey bot and nette, remember her? happy thanksgiving everyone! let’s give thanks that we are now enjoying what our ancestors envisioned us to have.
Trueblue, maybe Elmer B knows about Richard too. Hey, you should join my special TH club. i didn’t know you’re into digging kamote too! (sense of humor
)…Please come by next year dec. 2008 and share us some pinikpikan from the city in the sky.
Heeeheeheee, hahahaha…ali, panawan tayon dayta suron tayo. Roselee, no problem, ding. It’s all a misunderstanding, my dears. Pudno man ta kunam sis Emz between Bago and Ilocano
Apay ngata anya? Quite funny really if you think about it. Good for you you have memories of Bae Angela, I only remember her because of the photos in my baul.
Trueblue, urayek to ngarud dayta kamote nga iyeg mo dyay Sagunto when I go for fiesta in Dec2008, I’ll look for your karagkarag nga lugan a kunam, bwahahaha….cheers, bro. Thanks for being a good sport!
Sis Evz, yap, it’s that time of year again when we’re all reminded to extend peace and goodwill to all mankind. I love Christmas BUT NOT the crushing crowds at the malls

Sometimes People needs to go away from their place of origin inorder for them to bring out of who they really are and they can be known by their remarks and sharing about the place I have come to think of that when I am reading the comments above.
More sharing please nice to know some facts and information.
