THE FUN PAGE
Are you looking for something fun to do? Did you miss the photo scavenger hunt on Thursday and need to make up for it? Need to ease stress after endless hours of studying for finals? Well, we have just the thing for you: HEALTHY, EDUCATIONAL DISTRACTIONS! Here is a picture of the dance known as the Singkil, as performed by Akbayan during Once Upon a Time in Little Manila. The two photos pictured below have 5 differences between each other. The answers, as well as other fun things from Akbayan, can be found on the “FUN” page of the website.

Singkil princess Noemi Teppang shows no sign of duress as she moves across the sticks. (Maybe this could be you next year!)
