Cultural Intangibles

Y'day during the webinar on SDGs and Arts Collections organized by ICCROM in Italy, I remember the late Susana Melindo Andamon (Lola Sana), the wife of my mom's cousin, Lolo Maldo (Romualdo Cano Andamon). My mom would always sing the song that anhing Lola Sana composed herself and what she'd sing kuno when she's taking care of an infant. It included all the couples daw in Cawayanan, Tubigon, Bohol that time. It goes like this: Unsaon ko Costan Tasyo, ang mga kabilin Tasyong Balen. Unsaon ko na lang Ondo Milang, kining nagadangoyngoy Mintang Aproy. It's such a pity my mom wasn't able to write it down and get the song in its entirety. Example jud to of a cultural patrimony and for sure for the next generation to enjoy and emulate. Happy weekend everybody!
