a mu s i c a l w it h lyrics by Tim Rice and music by Andre w L loyd Webber. The story is based on the “coat o f m a n y c o l o r s” story of Joseph from the Bible’s Book of Genesis. This was the first Lloyd Webber and R i ce musi c a l to be performed publicly. (Their first musical, The Likes of Us, written in 1965, was not performed until 2005.)
The show has little spoken dialogue; it is completely sungthrough. Its familyfriendly stor yline, universal themes and catchy music have resulted in numerous productions of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor D r e a m c o a t ; according to t h e R e a l l y Us e f u l Group, by 2008 more than 20,000 schools and amateur theatre groups had successfully put on productions.

Snapshots of a golden smile IN describing the progress of CDO, we tend to be high falluting. We define Cagayan de Oro based on its tag as the most competitive city outside Metro Manila, the most livable city, etc. We define Cagayan de Oro based on the number of condos and shopping malls erected and call centers developed. We define Cagayan de Oro on the number of nightspots, on the number of recreational spots that have been installed here, etc. Our brains are so obsessed with things modern that we tend to overlook the basic beauty that we
see around us – from the golden smile of a neighbor to someone in the office sharing her Toblerone to a coworker. Snapshots of the beauty of CDO are all around us if you take the time to digest that in your mind. You don’t need to look, you already have looked at a lot. It has just not registered into your consciousness yet. One example is the huge Lapu-lapu centavo coin in Elipe Park. We pass by that area everyday. But as we walk past it, we don’t pay any conscious attention to it. Our eyes are

too busy scanning at the Liceo kolehiyalas crossing in the opposite direction and on to their campus that we totally forget that the enormous replica of the Lapu-lapu centavo coin is the only one in existence in the country. And that is a truly Cagayanon postcard landmark. But since it has been there for almost two decades, that trivia hasn’t run into our mind anymore. From a vantage across the street, all that your mind is registering is the yummy Belgian waffles sold at a shop adjacent to the centavo coin.
And there are a lot more examples on how to find beauty and funny moments at a trivial level. Pass by Vamenta Blvd. and look up, you’ll see a hotel called Miami Inn. If you’re a Cagayanon, it doesn’t blink an eye. But if you’re a tourist who hails from Florida, then you’d say, “Ahh, now there’s a Miami in CDO!” See, trivia sometimes sells. I don’t know the etymology behind the hotel’s name but somehow it attracts not us but foreign tourists. There are a lot of cute and catchy ways to name your shop. Want to run a

ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - Try not to push those feelings down deeply today -- you need to make sure that you’re feeling everything directly! It’s a good time to mix it up with friends or family, just to let them know you care. TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - You need to push yourself at least a bit today -- otherwise, things are sure to get a little out of control before you reach mid-afternoon. Try to ask important questions, especially related to romance. GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - Make that to-do list with care today -- you’re likely to regret it if it’s too long! Still, you need to organize your activity, so make sure that you’re thinking things through before getting to work.

Fresh Gospel of the day: Mateo 22:15-22. Matthew 22:15-21-then the Pharisees went and plotted together how they might trap Him in what He said. And they sent their disciples to Him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that You are truthful and teach the way of God in truth, and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any. “Tell us then, what do You think? Is it lawful to give a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?” But Jesus perceived their malice, and said, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? “Show Me th e co i n u se d for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a denarius. And He said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said to Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God: Are you paying taxes?

There are people in our society who are tax evaders and in fact, they never declared their real assets for them to pay lesser. This is dishonesty.

Aluba youth to perform stage play at City Central A
By MARK FRANCISCO Assistant Lifestyle Editor
Catholic parish-based youth group in the city has organized what should be recognized as the very first community-based theater in Cagayan de Oro.
This November 7, around 25 youth laity from the Immaculate Conception Parish of Aluba will present their version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at the City Central School on two
occasions – the matinee at 12:30 p.m. and the gala at 9:30 p.m. A l t h o u g h the Immaculate Conception Parish of Aluba Youth Apostolate has already staged the same play last July to raise funds for their church edifice, this particular performance will be for the benefit of the expansion of the City Central School. That means their initial performance
was so popular that the City Central School management has decided to commission them for their November show. But it really started when the parishioners from Aluba needed to raise funds for the expansion of their church structure. At a loss on where to go, the youth from Aluba decided on a groundbreaking mission – to group
themselves as a theater g roup and emb ark where no one has gone before: staging a theater play as a communitybased group. T he Immac u l ate Conception Parish of Aluba Youth Apostolate enlisted choreographer Cres Cecilio Mabanta Jr. to walk the play through and trained the ragtag youth of Aluba ranging from five to 25 years old. They are varied – from
out-of-school youths to fourth graders to high schoolers to college graduates and young professionals. The training paid off and they produced a very awesome and very vivid depiction of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at St. Mary’s Gym last July.
