Cagayan de Oro’s Saturday Night Live presents OPEN MIC

SaNz — Mon, 10 May 2010 10:04:54 +0000

Indie is more than just music… it’s a scene.

Abbreviated from “independent,” indie has become an entire genre that includes music, movies, clothing styles, and other facets of culture. It is characterized by its separation from commercial institutions and mainstream lines, and is often considered synonymous to alternative styles.

It is also a term used to describe independence from major commercial record labels and an autonomous, Do-It-Yourself approach to recording and publishing.

Cagayan de Oro has a lot of independent musicians that play really good songs which mostly are their own compositions. They rely on free publicity or just the “word of mouth” to be heard.

I remember around year 2001-2002 there used to be a place named Flips here in Cagayan de Oro which aimed to reunite the indie bands, then came Punchbowl around 2003-2004. Then that was about it. It kinda died here in our city and some other places in Mindanao.

Joseph Dela Cerna Agcopra of Tourjack, Loremer Lagrosas Jr. and Bam Roa of K9 came up with an idea to reunite, again, the Indie Bands in Cagayan de Oro and our neighboring provinces. They planned to launch it early March of this year as a street party and was going to name it March of the Machines but they had some uncontrollable events, and needed papers to deal with from the government, that led to the delay.

March 27, 2010, it got finally launched as Saturday Night Live presents OPEN MIC – with the help of friends and band members of K9, Calypso, and Tourjack.

Open Mic is not a production but a venue where local indie bands can perform. Their main mission and vision is to reunite all local indie bands and have a venue for each one to perform and show off what they got. They are open every Saturday by 8pm. Location is at the Capitol Park Cafe – along Velez Highway near McArthur Park and Tennis Court.

So far, Open Mic has been successfully going on for over a month now. 4 of Iligan City’s best bands even came along to play - namely Inburn, Psykbox, Drunkenstein, and Purple Parachutes.

Open Mic would like to thank their sponsors – for making everything possible every Saturday night: San Miguel Corporation – for the booze, Bammers Studio – for the recording, rental and rehearsal venue, and LRS Lights & Sounds – for the on site lights and sounds and instruments.

Calling out all Kagay-anon’s let’s support local indie music!

To all indie bands, Padayun Kagay-anon, rakenrol! \m/

Culinary Institute of Cagayan de Oro/Philippine Women’s University…IS IT WORTH IT??

SaNz — Fri, 07 May 2010 07:55:32 +0000

Below is the story of my longtime online buddy Ryan C. Rivero a.k.a DanDansoy who had an encounter with the owner of Philippine Women’s University – Cagayan de Oro.

Here are some words I quoted from PWU’s site, which I think is not even close to the encounter story below:

The Philippine Women’s University is a non-stock, non-profit, non-sectarian educational institution that promotes Christian education and inter-faith ecumenism in the character formation of our learners, with emphasis on the PWU Core Values of spirituality and ethical professionalism, cultural heritage and leadership in women’s education, and professional competencies for global citizenship toward sustainable development.

Story starts here:

Culinary Institute of Cagayan De Oro is handled by the Philippine Women’s University of Cagayan de Oro. It is franchised owned by Karlo Marcaida.

I’m writing these chronological events that transpired the confrontation on April 12, 2010 between the owner of Philippine Women University (PWU) and me.

An invitation on “Facebook” about a demo for a culinary event few months ago at PWU made me interested to apply as a chef instructor for the said school. Mrs. Alice Colegado and Fred Limbaga took interest in me due to my credentials. I am one of many product of the best culinary school in the world. They have been calling me for my certificates and some important matters for the past months. One of it is if I can give a demo on April 11, 2010. I settled for the 12th of April, due to our vacation to Palawan. Emailed them the ingredients for the 4 recipes that I would be cooking in the demo.

Fast forward, on April 12, 2010 me and my son came to PWU around 9 a.m. Ms. Eden Baldelovar met me at the school and introduced me to Mrs. Alice Colegado which is the director of academic affairs. We chatted for a while and made a remark about my outfit. I was wearing shorts and shirt at that time. I apologized to her about my outfit when I learned that they wanted to shoot a video of the said demo. If I was informed of such thing I could have been properly dressed professionally as a chef.

Moving on, we went upstairs to check on the kitchen and get ready for the demo. To my surprised the kitchen was not ready at all. No pots or any pans, the burners weren’t connected to any gas line, no plates, no ladles, no pot holders, no chopping boards, nothing at all except for 1 non stick fry pan. So I asked them if they could bring everything including the ingredients that I asked them.

Then the president of the school which I forgot her name and the owner who’s first name I remembered only, Karlo. We were introduce and shook hands with Karlo and I introduce them to my son who was sitting at the back of the kitchen room. By this time most of the ingredients needed for cooking was brought in the kitchen room. One of the administrators helped me in prepping the recipes we’re going to make. Then I found out that most of the ingredients that I emailed for them to prepare was crashed out and therefore been omitted and haven’t been bought. And these were the important ingredients for the entire cooking. Mrs. Colegado asked personnel of the school to buy the stuff. This thing eventually stalled our time in prepping up the recipes.

Around lunch time my son was complaining about his stomach. He said it was aching so painfully that he can’t take it no more. My son was sick during our vacation in Palawan. I brought him with me so I can bring him to the doctor after the demo. I saw my son in excruciating pain and was in tears. So I asked Miss Alice that I would bring my son to the hospital. And so we did, my son got a CBC test at Madonna and given medicine that made him feel better.

We came back around 2 pm that day. I was so hyped to finish the food preparation so we can do the cooking. And so we did, there was another staff that helped me prepping the recipes. I asked again where the pots and pans were, the only thing they provided me were 2 pieces of Asian frying pan (wok) and a stock pan. All this time I didn’t complain about the lack of preparedness of the staff for this demo. I continued to prepare the things needed without complains.

Then Mr. Fred Limbaga came and asked me if I can do a demo for the owner and the staff of the school. I told him I will but I have to finished prepping everything first before I can make a demo like cooking. A few minutes later Fred Limbaga, Karlo (the owner of the school) came and sat down. Followed by Miss Alice Colegado and some staff. My son was asking me something, he asked what I am going to cook for the people inside the room. To my surprised Karlo raised his voice and addresses my son to keep quite or leave the room. My son candidly replied to him “I was just asking my dad what he will be cooking.” Then Karlo told my son, a 9 yr old kid to “shut up or go out and stay outside”. Everyone in the room was stunned, I myself was dumbfounded surprised of his action.

He (Karlo) then asked me if I can do the demo. I told him I can but I have to finished my preparation and if they can be patient for a short while. He then asked me what happened, why it took this long. I replied and pointed out to him that the kitchen wasn’t equipped and plenty of things needed are not in the kitchen. He simply raised his voice again to me and asked me if I was demanding for those things. I told him I wasn’t demanding, I was just stating why our worked took so long because of some equipments not in the kitchen. I pointed out to him that “how can I make a demo when I needed 3 pans to cook a recipe all at once?” he stood up and came to me and talked on my face saying “don’t act like a boss!!! In the first place I didn’t like your attire making a demo”. I then interrupted him saying “I already apologized earlier to Miss Colegado about my attire and I have never been bossy in this kitchen or the people who have been working and helping me preparing the things. Ask your staff if I have been bossy to them, asked the guys who are fixing your oven now if I was complaining that your stove was not been set up! And if you didn’t like my attire earlier you could have called off the demo since most of the ingredients wasn’t bought yet”

Then I asked him “did you expect me to connect the gas line of the stove?” and he replied “yes” he yelled at me saying “you are supposed to do this stuff because you’re the chef, connect the gas line if needed so, I know what you do in the US so don’t be bossy!”

I just laughed at him and told him to go to hell. I don’t need this if I will be working with an A**hole like him.

I gathered my kitchen knives and tools and cleaned them. It took a while to wash them, I heard Karlo instructing his staff to eat the things I cooked. Hahaha what a nerved huh! The kitchen was so quite when he left, except for me talking to my son and telling him what had happened. Fred Limbaga, Mrs. Colegado and some staff was still in the room, speechless and I don’t know what they were thinking. I, my son and my friend left after I managed to settle my things.

Now it’s been almost a month since it happened and its been bothering me for quite a time now. I have never been insulted in my life. And I haven’t seen anybody of such educated man to be cruel and disrespectful to a 9 year old kid. To make matter worst the staff of the said university hasn’t called or wrote me for any apology. I surely know that I did nothing to offend anybody in that room that day. I believe this people owes me an apology that’s why I’m seeking your help with regards to the action of the school owner did to me and what the staff should have done after the incident. I did asked help for a local radio station here in CDO, but I haven’t heard from them as well.

So if anyone knows how to help me reprimand this school and its staff please advice me to do so. I don’t know if writing this thing would liberate me from sleepless night or may cause trouble. But then again this is my HOME TOWN CAGAYAN DE ORO, no out of “towner” bullies a KAGAY-ANON!!!

It would have been so nice to for Kagayanons to experience culinary studies at world’s standard!!
Is it worth it to enroll in the said culinary school with its incompetent staff?

I later found out through my cousin who franchises PWU School as well that Karlo’s last name is Marcaida who is from Luzon.
