Donning a shirt with Elvis Presley’s picture, sixty-four year old Mang Pablo sang the rock icon’s Only You. Ninety-year old Remedios Robles Llagas just came from the United States and sang Sapagka’t Ikaw ay Akin. And despite being out of tune at certain lines, Susana Ortiz, 81, managed to sing My Song of Love with conviction.

They were just some of the contestants of the Pwede pa Kami, a singing contest for senior citizens, that was held last Saturday at the patio of Saint Joseph parish church. A total of 18 singers took part in the program that was sponsored by the Office of Senior Citizens Federation. The contestants sang kundiman songs like Pag-ibig ko sa’yo, Ang Tangi Kong Pag-ibig, Di Ko Kasalanan, Minsan, Padre Nais Kong Mangumpisal and Paano Kita Pasasalamatan.
Here are the winners of: First prize – Sergio Robles, 72 years old, from Barangay Santiago; second prize – Perlita Manzano from Barangay Evangelista and third prize – Warlito Ocampo, 65 from Barangay Mabini. Cash prizes of P 2, 000 for the first place, and P 1, 500 and P 1, 000 for the second and third prizes, respectively, were given. A consolation prize of P 200 were given to other participants, courtesy of the Office of the Mayor.
Estelita Golla, Ronnie Llagas and Reynaldo Cawicaan Jr. served as judges.
Mayor Wilfredo Robles with the judges.
Officers of a senior citizen’s organization Damayan, Bonifacio Tesoro Jr. and Yolando Millare also rendered a song.
Aside from singing, the senior citizens also danced a medley of Filipino folk dances with some annotations related to organic farming. They also danced in cha-cha and boogie music.
