Mr. Mambaje

The biggest threat to Philippine folk dance is not extinction... it's distortion.

About Me

I prefer to be called manong rather than kuya. You may also call me Mr. Mambaje if you're feelin' nasty.

Although I may look angry all the time, I'm only angry 0.5% of the time - I, unfortunately, am not always aware of my facial expressions.

I can't stand bootleg-ers. Espeically very bad bootlegs/bootleg-ers. On second thought, very bad bootlegs/bootleg-ers can sometimes be kinda funny and make me laugh.
