TRANSCRIPT
The INDOMITABLEEast Visayan
The Waray is the epitome of the “BISAYA”, the fun loving, warm, kinship nurturing peoples of the eastern islands of our archipelago namely Samar, Leyte and Biliran. Aside from giving importance in life their domiciles, families, relations and their material environs; they treasure so much and hold in endearment their pride as peoples of the Philippines and their strong connection to their Faith in the Supreme God whose will and intervention is greater than their own and in any human or natural phenomena…

“BISAN HAN MGA BISAN, SAYPA AN MGA SAYPA….”Resilient, undaunted may be the words the Warays are described after the onset of ST Yolanda (Haiyan). With the help of International and National aid, studios and hopes have been rebuilt and reinspired. There may have been setbacks of giving up, shying away from one’s Art because of the great calamity the deluge and cyclone has brought us. On the other hand, camaraderie, events and activity has mobilized us to go on, move up to higher ideals. We thank the Good Lord up above for this great comfort of being with our Co-Visayan Visual Artists , here in awesome and amazing city of Bacolod at the VIVA EXCON 2014.
