Cagayan de Oro City fiesta Celebration

A tiger look from a dancer

The annual Kagayha-an Festival Street dancing and the annual Civic Military parade are only two of many major highlights of the city fiesta of Cagayan de Oro City. Yesterday, August 26, 2006 at 8 in the morning, together with my officemates, we sneaked a bit from work to eat breakfast and as a side tour to watch the annual Kagayha-an Festival Street Dancing Competition along Don A.Velez Street, Cagayan de Oro City.

Different schools and institutions around Region 10 province joined the competition to vie for the first prize worth 100,000 PhP. Each contingent showcased their colorful uniforms and awesome ethnic street-dancing prowess to the judges and to the public. I remember when I was in college where our school joined the contest and I am one of the street dancers and fortunately our school grabbed the first prize. It was such an experience during Cagayan de Oro Fiestas.


So much for the Kagayha-an Festival, this morning I headed to the same street (Don A. Velez Street) to witness the Civic Military Parade where different public and private schools joined to parade their best band and majorettes together with their CAT and ROTC private cadets. Companies, civic groups and other institutions also joined the parade where some bring with them their muses. Former Miss International, Melanie Marquez and Mrs. World 2006 Finalist Maricarl Tolosa Cabel are among the muses who parade their beauties and the products they endorse.

Circumcision May Not Impact Sexual Sensation

-
Science Daily — According to a new study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine, sexual sensation in circumcised and uncircumcised men may not be so different after all. The research, performed in the Department of Psychology of McGill University in Montreal, consisted of genital sensory testing conducted on circumcised and uncircumcised men during states of sexual arousal and non-arousal. Results showed that no difference between the two groups was found in sensitivity to touch or pain. “This study suggests that preconceptions of penile sensory differences between circumcised and uncircumcised men may be unfounded,” says Kimberley Payne, Ph.D, principal author of the study.
