MORION 2009 IMAGES: STA. CRUZ CAME MARCHING IN







Sta. Cruz, Marin- duque's 1st class municipality was first to confirm its participat- ion when the Battle of Morions competition was announced. Their decision marked the very first time that a group of morions from Sta. Cruz came down to join the Boac 'kapatagan' morion affair. The Santa- cruzin's appreci- able response and formidable presence in the Battle is indeed quite significant. The unique cultural inter-action among the municipal- ities with moriones as the unifying factor is symbolic of bigger things that could be achieved in the Marinduqueno's cultural life. Blue, the color of love was their color.

Lower photo shows Boac's Kapatirang Morion led by Glyne Arevalo, who has been the town's Longhino for many years, his personal panata, vow. The Battle concept's introduction aimed to generate sustained interest on the moriones through broader participation was welcomed by the Boac morion group. Their number hasn't increased substantially over the years, as the same photo will show.
