I went to linamon beach so early that I was able to capture the sunrise. I just love it. After which, I’m having fun swimming…

Photo taken by my brother Richmond Sacayan. The location is at the left side mountain of Barangay Suarez, Iligan City, overlooking the Global Steel Corporation and the Iligan Bay.

I finally had in my possession this beautiful painting and as remembrance a took a picture with the author, Ely Neri, a prominent local artist of Iligan city and currently member of “Tinta” art group of Iligan City, Mindanao, Philippines.
It started last February 18, 2008 and end by February 22, 2008. The paintings are nice and I have my best pick and I’m on the process of buying it, the title is “Duyog” a Visayan term for “Musical Play”, a painting by a struggling and creative artist of Iligan, Ely Neri. It depict the wonderful culture of Higaonon tribe of Mindanao which is vanishing nowadays.

“Higaonon” are distributed in Las Nieves, Sinakungan, San Luis, Talacogon, Agusan del Sur, Buenavista, Carmen, Butuan City, in the Province of Agusan del Norte, Magsaysay, Gingoog City, Salay, Balingasag, Medina, Claveria, Cagayan de Oro, Opol, Manticao, Naawan, Initao, in Misamis Oriental, Manolo Fortich, Impasug-ong, Baungon, Talakag, Libona, Malitbog, Malaybalay, Cabanglasan, Lantapan, and Valencia in Bukidnon Province, Iligan in Lanao del Norte and Camiguin.
Written accounts suggest that the term HIGAONON is a combination of the root words:
‘HIGA’ which means ‘to live ‘ or to reside’ or ‘to lay in bed’;
‘GAON’ which means ‘mountain’; and
ONON which means ‘people’.
Thus people who live in the Mountains - our Higaonon spiritual leaders and scholars - defined as “People in the Living Mountains”.
Also below are some images displayed at the exhibit. Enjoy the photos!
