Aton na naman masimhutan ang a*o sang bantug nga inasal nga manok sa dalanon ka Bacolod samtang ang mga yuhum sang katawhan imo masugata sa kada kurbadaβari na ang ginahulat nga !
Batyaga ang ritmo sang mga tambol nga nagasigabong sa dalan kag tilawi ang nanari-sari nga pagkaon sang siyudad nga sigurado makapalapad sang imo ngirit.
Gani, dulaa na ang imo kabalaka kag magsinadya sa pagsaulog sang Masskara!

What seemed like a peaceful dawn on October 7, 2023, was shattered as bombs rained down over the Gaza Strip.
One full year into what has been described as the "most documented genocide in history", the once-thriving land of Palestine now lies desolateβstained with drying blood and rotting bodies buried beneath the rubble.
As we remember the Gaza Bombing Anniversary, intensify the call to end the relentless US-backed Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people, and stand united in a shared commitment to world peace and justice.
