So during Mindanaoan’s Sinulog Festival 2010 escapade, I had the chance to catch one of the performances featured in the “Cebu, Cebu” event held at a large mall in Cebu City. “Cebu, Cebu” is an event that aims to focus the best of Cebu — from food to designers to jewelry to crafts to artists. And two of the artists that came to perform during that weeklong celebration included singer-actress Pinky Marquez and crooner Chad Borja.
Chad Borja may be from Cebu but he has been based in Davao City for several years now. He regularly performs at Kanto Bar over at Matina Town Square (MTS), Matina, Davao City, Mindanao.
Kanto Bar, by the way, is a favorite “must-drop-by” place by Manila-based Dabawenyo artists. Artists like Jay Durias and Jinky Vidal and the rest of Freestyle band. Whenever they have gigs in Davao City, they usually see to it that they drop by Kanto Bar after their show.
I should know, I usually tag along with them 
For instance, during South Border’s recent trips to Davao, we’d proceed to Kanto after their shows and the guys will jam. Sometimes Chad sings with them. Believe me, it’s quite an experience to listen to real, passionate and very talented musicians jam.
Anyways, before I totally digress…Chad Borja really wowed the Cebuano crowd. His voice was soothing yet powerful and he still had that charm. Proof of this is the number of ladies who got so enchanted with the “Ikaw Lang” singer that they kept on shrieking like college girls There were also a lot of ladies who kept on having their pictures taken with him even as he sang. Oh well
Here are some of the shots I took of Chad and Pinky during that “Cebu, Cebu” event:

Nacionalista Party’s Grand Cebu City “Wowowillie” rally

Mindanaoan had the chance to cover the uber grand “Wowowillie meets Manny Villar” rally in Cebu City recently. Yes, it was “Wowowee” and popular host Willie Revillame meet Nacionalista Party standard bearer Manny Villar, vice presidential candidate Loren Legarda and senatorial bets Atty. Adel Tamano, Gilbert Remulla, Bongbong Marcos, among others.
I was personally curious as to how the show would go. Of course, it was obviously a political affair in the guise of a variety show. However, and I say this with all fairness, you could sense during the show that because Willie Revillame is an avid supporter of Manny Villar, the show had “heart” (Willie spoke spontaneously as he rallied support for Villar, Legarda and the senatorial candidates, he shared personal experiences, personal thoughts about what the country needs and how Villar can help) and a lot of people really came not because they were “hakot” but because they wanted to see for themselves if indeed Senator Villar was the “sagot sa kahirapan.” I interviewed a lot of people before the show (hundreds already waited as early as 2 PM) and they told me that they wanted to hear for themselves what Senator Villar intends to do, should he gain the presidential seat.
Roughly 100,000 people came and watched the show, which was held at the North Reclamation area in Mandaue City, Cebu. As you can see from the photos I took, a huge stage was put up just for the show and a huge orange check shone brightly at the center of the stage.
Yes, it was a “bongga” show. I’m pretty sure people didn’t mind that the Nacionalista Party candidates were given time to speak and share their platforms of governance. The show was, after all, free and it was “Wowowee.” The show reeked of celebrities – from hosts Randy Santiago and Valerie Concepcion to guest performers Aegis band, Princess Ryan, Christine Reyes, Andrew E. (who brought the house down!) and April Boy Regino (who reportedly came back from the USA just to help in the Nacionalista Party campaigns) And then of course there’s Willie Revillame and his Kembot Girls (one of them was the “Congratulations” girl) plus a special guest sent in a video greeting straight from the USA — no less than Manny “Pacman” Pacquiao.
