VALENTINE DATE at the plaza
A lovely date at the Cortes plaza? Why not?
This valentines, how about bringing your lovely date at the Cortes Plaza?
I got my answer later and I bet you have never seen me “go cute and bring a date” in that plaza.
A friend (who may truly be gifted) once told me that her hair stood on its ends when I was showing her Cortes Church and its plaza.
It was almost 6 pm and I told her anytime the centuries old brass bells would chime and the muted oracion would be heard in some houses.
Somebody flicked on the switches of the church lights.
I know it was the bellringer. He would be passing through the church to access the unusual bell tower. Unusual because like Baclayon and Loboc again, Cortes bell tower was not built as attached to the main church body. In fact, a short bridge would be the access from the church coro to the tower.
Minutes later, the somber chime of the lingganay drove a flock of kwaknits from the upper bossom of the tower. I could still imagine the efforts the bellringer has to overcome tograb on the ropes the hang from the wooden platform that covers the bells from below.
Lost in the sweet memory of having been once a substitute bellringer, I could imagine how adeptly I could grope the ropes when I get too lazy to climb the long flight of swaying wooden stairs to the top platform.
My journey to that thrilling memory was jolted when my friend suddenly held on to my forearms. She was gazing at the empty space in the middle of the plaza and she was mesmerized.
She was ashen and I had to usher her to the umbrella shed where she told me everything she saw.

Santo Niño de Malabago
DUNAY duha ka rason nganong lisud ipatin-aw kon unsay hinungdan nga ang Santo Nino mao nay patron sa Cortes.
Una; nihit hikit-an ang nasulat nga talaan sa kasaysayan kay kasagaran nadaut sa baha dihang didto kini tipigi sa kombento sa Loboc.
Ikaduha, lisud kaykayon ang kinatsilang tala nga tua sa mga archives sa mga misyonerong taga Espanya.
Hinuon, subay sa mga sugilanong gisawhan sa mga paganong Bol-anon ug Sugbuanon, may timailhan nga dinhing dapita, may giila silang usa ka dios-dios nga may susamag dagway sa nailhan na nga Santo Nino.
Kon atong subayon ang timeline, matud pa, ang tambalan nga si Tamblot, (1621) daan na nga pari sa mga paganong nagsangpit kang Ai Suno (Ai Sano) sa katilingban sa katawhan sa Malabago (tampi sa suba sa Camayaan)
Mahimong si Tamblot nagtamak lamang sa tunob sa iyang mga gisundang mga tambalang nagtuo kang Ai Sano.
Ang dios-dios nga si Ay Sano giingong usa ka itumon nga bata nga katingalahan nga kulongon ang buhok.
Kini nga dios-dios giingong may pagka pilyo, nga usahay mahilig maniaw sa iyang mga magtutuo.
Dili usab tino kon kini si Ai Sano una ba, o hinuon, mao ra usa sa usa ka kinulit nga gasa ni Fernando Magallanes ngadto kang Hari Humabon ug Hara Juana sa ilang pagdawat sa sakramento sa bunyag niadtong 1521.
Gitanyag ni Magallanes ang debolto sa Santo Nino, nga maoy patron sa ilang ekspedisyon ug padala usab ni Haring Carlos 5 agig “handumanan” sa iyang pagbisita sa Flanders or Belgium niadtong 1517.

COMMON truly Bisayan EXPRESSIONS
A LOT of Boholanos have been, by habit, uttering expressions which may sound weird, absurd or basically meaningless in today’s parlance.
Cortesanon attempts a research on the following, hoping that younger generations who may have the urge to utter such expressions would know at least what these words really mean.
KOLERA
As in:
Hani bay imong gibuhat?Tubag: Ay, nanguhag kolerang buwak, ihad sa kolerang birhen.
Explanation:
Expression common in the eastern towns of Bohol rooting from the historic epidemic spread during the Boholano-American War. The Americans had a major debacle in Cabantian Pass off Guindulman that, in revenge, they burned every house on sight (accounting for the loss of centuries old houses in major Bohol towns) killed anything on sight and threw all carcasses in water systems contaminating the water sources. Anyone who drinks from these waters get infected with the disease that according to tales, those who buried the dead today would be interred tomorrow.

We will be installing 2 streamer tarpaulins this afternoon. One is intended for junction area while the other will be at IKA (courtesy of Margie Lomod and Evelyn Chiu). We are soliciting the help of some able bodies to help us with it. We still welcome donations from generous hearts so we can print more tarpaulins for other strategic locations.
The envelopes for the Alumni Jubilee King and Queen will be out anytime. We will be distributing these to the cluster candidates. So far, only 3 clusters have identified their candidates. we are still waiting for the updates from the coordinators. Please see details below.

CORTESANON.COM would be the midwife, assisting 40 year old Infant King Academy (IKA) deliver her first baby soon: a regular campus publication.
Aborted last year when the project to come up with a school organ only had its launching before it died a natural death, this year, school administrators prepare the student writers through a write-shop last October 5.
School paper adviser Jairus Fuderanan said IKA envisions the maiden issue of the paper to come out from its wombs November 5, barely a month from now.
Cortesanon.com also said that the timetable is not impossible for the student writers to cope as the magazine type paper would be having a little less than a month to prepare.
Almost 20 students including the organ adviser sat down for a whole day gruelling work in news writing, copy-editing and feature writing at the IKA computer room.
