Game of Thrones?

Paskuhan season, GoT is not just a show

seconded, andito na sila!
Tish: A folk pop band that has been dominating

Nathan: Iba talaga ang happiness kapag kasama
natin ang Coke!
Archelle: Bukod pa diyan, I’m sure kakaibang
happiness rin ang dala nitong susunod na
performer natin dahil isa talaga sila sa favorites ng
Thomasian community. Biruin mo ay ilang beses
na sila nakabalik dito sa atin but the enthusiasm
our fellow Tomasinos have whenever they
perform never goes out.
Nathan: I have got to agree with you. Formed
back in 2001, our next performers succeeded in
revamping the Filipino music scene by blending in
classical instruments with modern rock.
Archelle: Not only that, kilala rin sila sa
pagproduce ng songs na either ipaparamdam
sa’yo na masarap ma-in love or ipaparamdam
sa’yo na masakit ma-in love kaya wag na lang.
There is no in between.
Nathan: With their smash hits, “Kundiman,”
“Pasensya Ka Na,” and “Ikaw Lamang,” let’s put

line-up with a bang! We can say na they’re really
one of the household names when you think of
the Filipino music scene.

band has made waves in the OPM industry with

much I had fun! (Adlib about Paskuhan concert)
Nathan: Me too! Starting the afternoon with a
line-up of exceptional Thomasian acts was surely
enough to pump our Thomasian crowd. Over
October, The Ridleys, and Brisom, got the wheels
turning for our Tigers.
Tish: I hope they wore that Thomasian Pride with
extreme delight after that line-up! Kakaiba kasi
talaga ang talento ng mga Tomasino.
Maiko: True that! Speaking of talent ng mga
Tomasino, who could forget the mind-blowing
drum set of the UST Yellow Jackets kanina? Tapos
dinagdagan pa ng world-class level cheerdance
routine ng ating UST Salinggawi Dance Troupe!
Wrexler: Makes me so proud to be a Thomasian!

star studded line up of guest performers?
Stonefree, Ben&Ben, Silent Sanctuary, and
Callalily gave us probably the best night we ever
had.

part so far, thoughts on the performances, etc.)

of the event, our Paskuhan 2017 experience

and extravagant fireworks display.
Maiko: Papalapit at papalapit na ang oras sa
paglaunch ng ating fireworks, at papalapit at
papalapit na rin ang pagcelebrate natin ng Pasko!
