WE call this the collector's edition series because of how this specific set of CDS were produced and because the edition is limited to 100 pcs only. Almost everything about it is made of and made by Cuyonons and Palawenyos.

bulyaw mariguen collectors editon.mp3 -

bulyaw mariguen is

a game (karawat)...

bulyaw mariguen is the cuyono version of the game HIDE and SEEK. It was popular in the little island of Cuyo, Palawan, Philippines during the time that electricity in CUYO was only supplied from 6 in the morning to 12 midnight (1990S). Children, then, loved playing Bulyaw Mariguen in the wild (mariguen) guided by the light of the moon.

Photo Taken by Diego Dobles of Kamaru Productions

bulyaw mariguen starts with the it (budi) covering his eyes and chanting bawal ag-upot sa marapit (hiding near the it is prohibited) to give the other players time to find a place to hide. Once the chanting is over, the it tries to look for the other players. Once the it finds one of the players, he/she holds on to him/her and shouts BULYAW MARIGUEN!!!. The player that the it finds becomes the new it.

Eventually, with the advent of technology, Bulyaw Mariguen disappeared in the vocabulary of young Cuyonons. This is the reason why BULYAW MARIGUEN (the band) chose this name. To them, this game is a symbol of Cuyonon culture that must be revived or at least made known to the young Cuyonons.

a band (banda)...
bulyaw mariguen is a band composed of 4 Cuyono musicians coming from different generations and different professions. Due to their desire to express themselves in music that makes use of their own Cuyono language, of creating music that they can call their own and that young Cuyonons can enjoy and relate to and their vision of having Cuyono music diversify (from folk to different genres)and contribute to its development, the 4 musicians below formed Bulyaw Mariguen.

VOCALS (KANTA): CHRISTOPHER "TOPZ" PEREZ

BACK-UP VOCALS: LEONARD "POPOY" DELA TORRE

SUNLIGHT

TRANSLATED BY ANITA DELA TORRE & JOEY FABELLO

The night is deep
sounds of night creatures abound
my eyes are already weary
but my spirit is awake

My mind is thinking very fast
tumultuous, it's hard to understand
thoughts that come to my mind
sounds that are defeaning

CHORUS
as the world keeps on turning
as the wind blows fast
as the rain drops heavily
my spirit is with you

as the hands of the clock quickly tick
i don't know when
but the painful rays of the sun
will bring light to my mind

repeat chorus

i will come with you, if you will take me with you (2x)

LIGHT

TRANSLATED BY ANITA DELA TORRE & JOEY FABELLO

THE SUN IS SMILING AGAIN TO ME TO YOU MY FRIEND
LET US NOT WASTE OR IGNORE SUCH TIMES
THE IMPORTANCE/THE LIFE/LET US PUT THEM TO GOOD USE
LET US NOT THINK OF THE HARDSHIPS AND BURDENS THAT COME TO US
REFRAIN
BECUSE THE SUN IS THERE TO ALWAYS SMILE TO YOU
THE MOON AND THE STARS AT NIGHT ARE THE ONES THAT WILL GIVE US THE LIGHT
CHORUS
LIGHT, YOU ARE MY LIGHT, LIGHT

THE SUN IS SMILING AGAIN TO ME TO YOU TO US ALL
LET US NOT WASTE IT, LET US FACE IT WITH COURAGE IN OUR SOULS
LET US THINK THAT EVEN IF IT'S HARD, WE CAN FACE IT
LET US FORGET OUR PROBLEMS AND WORRIES IN EVERYTHING
REPEAT REFRAIN AND CHORUS
STAND UP MY FRIEND, DO NOT LOSE HOPE
THERE ARE PLENTY OF THINGS THAT YOU COULD DO, HAVE FAITH
IF IT RAINS DO NOT WORRY
BECAUSE THE SUN, THE STARS AND THE MOON WILL ALWAYS BE THERE TO GIVE US LIGHT
STAND UP IF YOU FALL

TELEGRAM

TRANSLATED BY ANITA DELA TORRE & JOEY FABELLO

I VISITED YOUR HOUSE ONE DAY
WANTED TO COURT YOU BUT YOU WERE NOT THERE
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE WE PARTED WAYS
I HAVEN'T HEARD A WORD OR NEWS ABOUT YOUR LIFE SINCE THEN

I ASKED PERMISSION FROM YOU THAT I'LL BE LEAVING
BUT I WASN'T ABLE TO WRITE OR EVEN SEND A TELEGRAM
THE TIMES ARE TOUGH, YOU ARE FARAWAY FROM ME
BUT MY SOUL AND LOVE IS WITH YOU

MY LOVE IS WITH YOU, WITH YOU, MY LOVE IS WITH YOU
CHORUS
NOTHING IS CHANGED, NOTHING CHANGED
NOTHING IS CHANGED, NOTHING COULD REPLACE YOU

I HOPE THAT THROUGH THIS SONG YOU COULD HEAR
THE DEPTH OF MY EMOTIONS
TRUE LOVE THAT I AM OFFERING YOU
TRUE LOVE THAT I OFFER YOU
TO YOU, I AM OFFERING YOU
REPEAT CHORUS
FORGIVE ME FOR MY WRONGDOINGS
FORGIVE ME FOR WHAT I'VE DONE (2X)
FORGIVE ME FOR MY SINS

NOTHING HAPPENED

TRANSLATED BY: JOEY FABELLO & ANITA DELA TORRE

WE DON’T NEED TO LOOK BACK AT THE PAST
WHILE WE’RE TOGETHER NOW AND HAVING FUN
THOUGH YOU HAVE A NEW PARTNER, I’VE ALREADY ACCEPTED IT
WITHOUT ANY GRUDGES

ALL THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED BETWEEN US I STILL CANNOT FORGET
WHY DO WE HAVE TO LIE THAT BETWEEN US NOTHING HAPPENED

CHORUS
YOU SAID IT’S BETTER THIS WAY, SOMEHOW NOONE STOPS US
NOONE’S AGAINST US, WE HELP EACH OTHER OUT (2X)

REPEAT FIRST & SECOND STANZA, CHORUS

THE WORLD KEEPS ON TURNING, EVERYTHING CHANGES (5X)
DO YOU THINK WE'LL STILL WAKE UP? DO YOU THINK WE'LL STILL SEE EACH OTHER? (2X)

LOVE (ROCK)

Translated by Jason Laxamana & Joey Fabello

IN LIFE
NOTHING IS CERTAIN
SOME PEOPLE COME
SOME PEOPLE GO
NOTHING IS PERMANENT IN LIFE
IT IS NOT PERMANENT, OUR LIFE
NOTHING IS PERMANENT IN LIFE
OUR LIFE
CHORUS
LOVE…LET’S NOT FORSAKE IT
LOVE…LET’S NOT FORGET IT
LOVE…LET’S NOT FORSAKE IT
LOVE…LET’S SHARE IT TO EVERYONE

IN LIFE
NOTHING IS CERTAIN
SOMETIMES IT RAINS
SOMETIMES THERE’S DROUGHT
NOTHING IS PERMANENT IN LIFE
IT IS NOT PERMANENT, OUR LIFE
NOTHING IS PERMANENT IN LIFE

COME MY FRIEND, TREAT US FOR A DRINK!

TRANSLATED BY ANITA DELA TORRE & JOEY FABELLO

what are we all waiting for?
we have nothing more to do anyways
get the pitcher and the shot glass
i'll take care of the appetizer.

but my friend, where are you going?
Our table is already set
the food is prepared;
so come on in already

CHORUS
come my friend,treat us for a drink
let us not delay it anymore
come my friend,treat us for a drink
let's start the good times.

start passing the drink around
stop messing around
but don't get too much food
for we also want to have our share of that.

REPEAT CHORUS
come my friend,treat us for a drink
COME MY FRIEND, DRINK

IN A FARAWAY LAND

TRANSLATED BY ANITA DELA TORRE & JOEY FABELLO

I AM NOW IN A FAR AWAY LAND
MANY THINGS MAKE ME REMEMBER
ALL OF YOU THERE IN OUR HOMELAND
MY TRUE FRIENDS
I FEEL HAPPY AND SAD ABOUT OUR PAST

MANY YEARS WILL STILL COME AND GO
IT WILL STILL TAKE A LONG TIME
BEFORE WE CAN ALL BE TOGETHER AGAIN

THE JOYS AND THE LONELINESS THAT WE HAVE UNDERGONE
ARE THE THINGS THAT BIND OUR FRIENDSHIP TOGETHER

CHORUS
WHEN I COME HOME I HOPE IT'S STILL YOU, MY FRIENDS
THOUGH WE HAVE OUR OWN FAMILIES I HOPE YOU WILL STILL REMEMBER ME AS YOUR FRIEND

LET'S BRING BACK THE HAPPINESS THAT HAS GONE

EVEN FOR JUST A NIGHT AND A DAY

LET'S MEET UP AND SING TOGETHER AGAIN...LA LA LA

REPEAT CHORUS
ON THE OTHER HAND, IT'S REALLY SAD TO THINK THAT WE WILL COME TO THIS SITUATION
WHERE WE WILL PART WAYS MY FRIENDS, NOT WITH PAIN AND SADNESS BUT WITH JOY IN OUR HEARTS
REPEAT CHORUS

SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY

TRANSLATED BY ANITA DELA TORRE & JOEY FABELLO

it seems as if it was only yesterday, when we were all together
the sunset that comes to us were always so fun
sometimes we stay till the wee hours of the morning drinking and singing

when scolded we go straight to capusan
if not we drink at tabunan

everyday we are like this, we rondezvous at darbu's
sometimes at bhomils'
under the mango tree, we will gather
then chip in money for the drinks
when the sunset comes, we will start drinking

our neighbors are entertained in our craziness that doesn't have any sense
but it's fun to think about such times when we were together

when saturday comes, we will climb up Mount Bonbon
we dO nothing but drink
but it's fun to think about such times because we have girls by our side
woo to the one who has no partner, for he will be the one to serve everyone

GRANDMA’S SCOLDING

Translated by Anita Dela Torre & Joey Fabello

GRANDMA SAID I SHOULD CHOOSE THE WARY ONE
FOR NOBODY HAS TOUCHED HER YET
NOBODY HAS TAMED HER YET
GRANDMA SAID I SHOULDN’T CHOOSE THE TAMED ONE
FOR EVEN IF YOU DON’T CALL HER, SHE’LL COME NEAR YOU.

GRANDMA SAID REAL BEAUTY IS NOT SEEN IN HER PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
GRANDMA SAID REAL BEAUTY IS NOT SEEN IN HER FIGURE

CHORUS
GRANDMA’S SCOLDING I CAN STILL REMEMBER
GRANDMA’S SCOLDING CANNOT BE FORGOTTEN
GRANDMA’S SCOLDING, UP TO NOW I CAN STILL HEAR THEM

GRANDMA SAID DON’T HAVE TWO LOVERS AT THE SAME TIME
FOR THE HEART WILL HAVE A HARD TIME, IT CANNOT BE DIVIDED
GRANDMA SAID DON’T PLAY WITH FIRE
IT’S DANGEROUS, IT RUINS LIVES
REPEAT SECOND STANZA & CHORUS
GRANDMA SAID STUDY HARD
DON’T MESS AROUND
DON’T DRINK YET
REPEAT FIRST STANZA

Translated by Topz Perez & Joey Fabello

MARAMING TAON NA ANG LUMIPAS
ANG DUMAAN, ANG DUMATING SA ATING BUHAY
HINDI KO PA RIN
HINDI KO PA RIN MARAMDAMAN
AKING KAILANGAN SA IYONG PALIGID
PAANO KO PATITIGILIN ANG AKING PUSO SA PAG-ALAALA
KUMAKABOG ANG AKING DIBDIB
HINDI KO AKALAIN NA SA TABI-TABI LANG PALA
MATATAGPUAN ANG AKING HINAHANAP
ANG AKING HINAHANAP

ETO NA ITO, WALANG IBA, HALIKA NA

MAGSAMA TAYO SA LIWANG NG BUWAN
NAGDUGTONG ATING DAAN, NAGBIGKIS ANG ATING LOOB

NATUTUWA AKO NA LUMIWANAG ANG AKING DAAN
NATUTUWA AKO NA TUMUWID ANG AKING DAAN
ANG NAKAKALUNGKOT LANG ANG MALAYO IKAW SA AKIN
AKING YAKAP AT HALIK, SA HANGIN MO LANG NARARAMDAMAN

NAGTITIWALA AKO SA IYONG BINITAWANG SALITA
SA PANGAKONG NANGGALING SA IYONG PUSO
ANG MGA SALITA NA TUMAMA SA AKING DIBDIB
NA BUMAON SA AKING KALULUWA
MAHIRAP LUMUNOK KUNG MARARAMDAMAN MO ANG LUNGKOT KAHIT PA GAANO KA KAGUTOM
IKAW ANG AKING LAKAS

THE PROMISE

Translated by: Jocelyn Fabello, Anita dela Torre

TOO MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED
THEY HAVE COME AND GONE IN OUR LIVES
AND I STILL CANNOT, I STILL CANNOT FEEL
WHAT I NEEDED AROUND YOU
HOW CAN MY HEART STOP REMEMBERING,
IT BEATS FASTER
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT IT IS JUST AROUND
THAT I WILL FIND THE ONE I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR
THE ONE I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR

REFRAIN

THIS IS IT, THERE'S NO ONE ELSE, LET US GO (2X)

CHORUS

LET'S GO TOGETHER TO THE LIGHT OF THE MOON
OUR PATHS CROSSED, OUR SOULS ARE BOUND
I AM HAPPY THAT MY PATH WAS ENLIGHTENED
I AM HAPPY THAT MY PATH WAS STRAIGHTENED

THE ONLY SAD THING IS THAT YOU ARE FARAWAY FROM ME
MY EMBRACES AND KISSES YOU ONLY FEEL IN THE WIND (2X)

I BELIEVE IN THE WORDS THAT YOU UTTERED
IN THE PROMISE THAT CAME FROM YOUR HEART
THE WORDS THAT STRUCK MY HEART
THAT CREPT TO MY VERY OWN BEING
IT'S HARD TO SWALLOW IF YOU FEEL THE LONELINESS EVEN IF YOU ARE SO HUNGRY
YOU ARE MY STRENGTH AND TO YOU I HOLD ON
BECAUSE I AM CONFIDENT THAT YOU WILL NOT LET GO OF ME
THAT YOU WILL NOT LET GO OF ME

REPEAT REFRAIN AND CHORUS

OUR PROMISE IS WRITTEN ON STONE (4X)

Bulyaw Mariguen's Ploning Adin Ka Ren Joins the Baragatan sa Palawan 2009 Celebration!

The month of June always exudes a festive atmosphere in the province of Palawan. It is the month of the anniversary of the civil government of Palawan and the month where locals from other municipalities visit Puerto Princesa City for the month-long celebration of the Baragatan sa Palawan.

“Baragatan”, coined from the Cuyunon (a local language) word “bagat” which means to meet, is a meeting, a convergence, an assembly of people and culture. This celebration is focused on showcasing the historical, cultural, agricultural, investment and trade potentials of the province with the participation of the different municipalities, the private sector and non-government agencies and seeks to provide an opportunity for all sectors and cultural groups to showcase their varying cultures, colorful lifestyles, crafts and handicrafts. http://www.baragatansapalawan.com/

Last June 16, 2009, a Cuyono rock band competition was held at Palawan Provincial Capitol as part of the activities for the Baragatan sa Palawan 2009.There were a total of 13 rock bands who joined the competiton which proves that there is a large group of young musicians in palawan who are capable of making rock music in Cuyonon and a large group of young people who speak or understand the language. Bulyaw Mariguen despite being in Manila joined this night of rockin music by screening their Ploning Adin Ka Ren Music Video before the winners of the Cuyono rock band competition were announced. Bulyaw Mariguen's Ploning Adin Ka Ren Music Video is the first music video produced by a Palawena that features a Cuyono rock band, their song and local talents. It is also the first pop music video of a local band shot in Palawan.

A day after the screening at the Baragatan, A LOT of Cuyonons asked for a copy of the music video at the Cuyo booth of the Baragatan (proof of its demand and effect to the Cuyonons). The vocalist of COOLBIRTH, the winner of the rock band competition, also said that the music video was ASTIG!

Copies of Bulyaw Mariguen's Ploning Adin Ka Ren & Guegma Music Videos are now available at the Arts & Culture Arm of the Provincial Government of Palawan and may also be ordered online. For inquiries contact Joey Fabello at 09276275554 or through joeyfabello@yahoo.com

Belowis a footage of the screening of the music video. Thanks to Mares Krishnaa & Mares Vily Bajar for the footage. Shot only through a digicam.

Last May 25, 2009, Bulyaw Mariguen and Jason Laxamana of Kamaru productions were featured at the Palawan News Patrol (the only local tv station in Palawan). Too bad, we weren't able to get the footage of the news feature but we're still trying to get one as of the moment. Here are some photos of the interview for the meantime.

Bulyaw Mariguen, Matinlo productions and Kamaru productions visit The Underground River

As a form of recreation for Bulyaw Mariguen and a means for Kamaru productions (members of which come from Pampanga) to see a more touristic side of Palawan, Matinlo productions brought Bulyaw Mariguen and Kamaru productions to the St. Paul Subterranean Underground River through the kind assistance of the Office of the City Mayor of Puerto Princesa.

Special thanks to Daluyon Beach and Mountain resort for providing lunch to them.

Initially, some scenes for the PLONING ADIN KA REN Music Video were planned to be shot at the Underground River. But seeing that this is not essential to the music video, Kamaru productions took photos of Febbie Sabbaluca (the lead actress for the PLONING ADIN KA REN MUSIC VIDEO) and Bulyaw Mariguen (for their album cover) at the Underground River instead.

Below is the set of photos of FEBBIE SABBALUCA that were taken during the Underground River tour. The photos of Bulyaw Mariguen will be available at their album cover.

Photographer: Diego Dobles of Kamaru productions

Post-Processing: Jason Laxamana of Kamaru productions

Location Manager: Joey Fabello of Matinlo productions
